@styggythestegosaurus5740 there's a button to go and 2 directions to steer. The only difference between this and any other racing game ever made is there's also a jump button.
I played this game when I was 6 with my old pentium II, with lowest graphic settings and really low fps. One race could last 10 minutes. It took me months of gameplay to actually discover the emeralds and special characters unlock. I went crazy once robo sonic appeared. Good old times of gaming and no internet connection. It had its own mystic around.
It’s easy to say that now, but some kid must’ve begged his parents to buy this for them at full price back then! And they already messed up by owning a Saturn too! 😂 They got a dope ass soundtrack though
i played tf outta this game as a kid. it was the first 3D game that could run smoothly on my mom's PC and i was blown away. so many hours spent just free roaming the levels to look at the most insignificant details. i still remember how the disc and cover art look. very nostalgic for this one.
Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day? Don't you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away? Reach out for the good times, forget about the rain. Just think about the sunshine and then you'll come back again.... 🎶 🎵
@@veryrealperson3694 Uh, no. Nice try, but I am an owner the original Sonic R CD on PC, and even back in 1997-1998, my friends and I were blown away with how much better it looks compared to the Saturn version. It was sharp (instead of grainy), and the framerate was a chef's kiss rock solid 60 FPS. I just popped it back in to make sure I'm not crazy, and it still looks beautiful. This game doesn't need mods, but if it has some, all the better.
You know, This is one of my favorite sonic games actually! The music is pretty KICKASS!!! my favorite songs are living in the city and super sonic racing!
after playing so many sonic games on all kind of platforms, this is the one I remember the most. It sure brings back childhood memories with those awesome bgm. Didn't even realize the graphic was this bad, thought it looks pretty damn good back then.
I think this game is the reason why I love house music and electronic music in general. I hope someday Sega will release it on vinyl, this OST deserves it! And I'm not even talking about Wipeout and Extreme-G 🙃
Tbh I wish sega did a remaster of this. Granted it wasn't that good but the potential is there, the music is great and the new characters were always fun to unlock! Imagine if they did this but with a modern spin (eg. sega all stars racing or sonic team racing, but without the transformation vehicles or team gimmick). Characters able to drift, each having their abilities along with a beneficial boost with it (like knuckles glide can charge a boost while gliding to close the gap), new characters, drop dash for every character, new levels and cinematic loop-de-loops/ moments. All with the classic models and music as an extra mode you can unlock after 100% AND you if you 100% that, you can use them as unlockable soundtracks, levels and skins! All complete with a story mode for each character and if you unlock all the secrets, you get each character's super form. Eggrobo even becoming Heavy King and Metal sonic becoming Neo Metal sonic!
Man playing this game when you go for 100% (getting all tokens and chaos emeralds) is so much fun! Because its so quick sometimes you dont even realize how fast you can go.
Bought this game for 1p, didn’t work at first, so I looked up a fix before I installed a windows xp vm, and found the updater. Holy crap it looks and plays really good don’t it?
I played the first 3 games a bunch on genesis as a kid, but I'm pretty sure I played this almost as much on my dad's saturn as well. It's got a special place in my memories.
Is it just me or does this actually look fun, I’ve never played the game even when I was with my friend who had it cause of the tails doll stuff and the fact I had a plushie of tails Made it worse and I would cry in the corner as they played as tails doll on tag mode which would horrify me but now that I am 1% less stupid this looks like a fun game to binge out in a session
Eu sentia agonia quando ele esbarrava em uma parede ou ficava lento hahahaha, e isso que chamam de sentido gamer? Mesmo assim, uma gameplay de alta qualidade ;)
I do love racing games, so this being a perfect Saturn game for me to play. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles racing by foot , Eggman in his flying machine, Amy in her cute little red car, then you got Metal Sonic , metal Knuckles, and Tails Doll, the more Sonic characters in this 64 bit game the better the race.
@@TheRealDustinNunnWhile true, I don’t think anything actually good will come from a broken, unbalanced game being remade by our current broken, unbalanced state of industries in the world. Corporates suck the passion/life out of every project they touch … and decorate it in formulaic and predictable graphic enhancements, use generic af music, and if you’re lucky, that’s the least amount of damage remakes have on the originals … otherwise you know how it goes: paywalls, loot boxes, etc. … Look at the state of movie remakes for reference … People will hype whatever is marketed better, and while that’s not a new observation, the difference is that the bar has been dropped so low now, that it seems mediocrity deserves praise these days. Only independent game producers can make a difference, if any. It’s SOUL that’s missing in our “modern” games. Hope it makes a comeback in my lifetime ☯️ Till then, I’ll stick to retro consoles
I think this music has been modded in - in my sonic gems version of the game it plays the usual track’s theme in the boss races. Can’t find the specific track rn but I did at one point, I’ll name it if I manage to find it again
@@Yoshikarter1 ah ok, figured I’d mention it was modded in case you didn’t know and had been looking for the song under any sonic R albums/playlists (I did at first lol) - but yeah it’s the boss theme from the sega saturn Sonic 3D blast and has a standalone OST uploaded to RUclips I linked incase you were still wondering what it was :)
I'm surprised how many people here actually like this game lol. The ost is all I care about. TJ Davis and Richard Jacques really killed it. Dashie would definitely say, "WHO THE HELL WAS IN THE STUDIO!" (if he hasn't played this)
I use to have this game on the computer I beat this game with just using the errow keys and the space bar and I unlocked all the characters and I got the super sayan sonic.
Reasons why I love "Sonic R" :
-soundtrack
-3d models
-soundtrack
-new characters (metal knux, tails doll)
-soundtrack
-map project
-soundtrack
-graphic
-soundtrack
And don't forget the soundtrack
@@mdark3276 Alright, I will not forget.
Not gonna lie, I didn't notice until point 7 because I agree entirely
Y'know, I feel like you're a big fan of the soundtrack.
Notice how he said “soundtrack” 5 times
Amy...in 1st place? Did she discover that her car's gas pedal goes all the way down to the floor? Nice.
Damn that was a violation to the highest degree lmfao
@@goldenlightning8842 FR LMAO
PLZ💀
*Eurobeat intensifies*
GAS GAS GAS GAS GOTTA STEP ON DA PEDAL
I unironically enjoy the hell out of this game's soundtrack ❤
Yeah it’s amazing
goes hard affff. they really snapped. they ate. they served crystal waters
Super cheesy but sooo catchy, I'm really in love with this OST too
Soooo good. The music honestly aged like fine wine
Sonic Gems Collection had remixes to some of these songs that are really good.
Sonic R had no business having such a fire soundtrack
The controls tho
@styggythestegosaurus5740 what's wrong with the controls?
@@hoobaguy well I’m not used to them and I can’t get used to them

Me too, me was on compaq presario amd k6. Good memories!
Fun Fact: If you set the weather to "Snow" (Options - Game - Weather), every single pool of water is frozen, which allows you to make skips.
Yeah but it's funnier to see them sink into the water cartoon-like style
I wonder if the rain also affects racing. Does it make the controls more slippery, or does it raise the water level?
@@Mike14264 yeah it makes more slippery
Second fact in adical city When you put waiter sonic will be showing He's covered with snow In one of the shortcuts
Third fact when you put snow again, the coins will be covered with snow
Man who cares about the gameplay itself when the soundtrack is that magical.
It’s easy to say that now, but some kid must’ve begged his parents to buy this for them at full price back then! And they already messed up by owning a Saturn too! 😂
They got a dope ass soundtrack though
i played tf outta this game as a kid. it was the first 3D game that could run smoothly on my mom's PC and i was blown away. so many hours spent just free roaming the levels to look at the most insignificant details. i still remember how the disc and cover art look. very nostalgic for this one.
I played this game a lot as a kid, but this is definitely the first time I've seen Amy's first place celebration...
Imagine if this game was actually a 3d full game and not a racing game it will be amazing
Yeah we could call it like... Sonic Robot Boom or something.
Try out Sonic Robo Blast 2
Imagine if this game was still a racing game but actually controlled like a normal sonic game.
@@nickmakura459 Sonic Robot Boom huh? Mmmm.
@@timbertam7668 with 3d models and footsteps mod
Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day? Don't you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away? Reach out for the good times, forget about the rain. Just think about the sunshine and then you'll come back again.... 🎶 🎵
It's "just think about the good times and they will come back again"
I was blown away with how good this game looks and sounds on PC vs. Saturn.
you never tried the gamecube version, it's so good
this is because he's using several mods to make it look better lol. Not that it's not impressive, Just that this is NOT what it originally looks like
@@veryrealperson3694 Uh, no.

@@ValExp543 Sonic R on Gamecube? Or are you talking about Sonic Riders? Totally different game.
@@NickEnlowe uh, apparently the game did release for the GameCube. Also the PS2. I believe it was on a collection, Sonic Gems Collection I think.
Came to see the gameplay/visuals, stayed for the music.
Geez that's a pro gaming skill 0_0
I got surprised with your savage skills of collecting everything and winning the race in 1st place, good job!
I got this game free in a box of cereal and played the hell out of it, the music brings back so many memories 😊
Ah.. the good old days of cereal boxed games.
@nambu1080 Late 90s/early 2000s, yeah! I remember getting some Doom clone from a box of cereal that I loved playing.
@@botezsimp5808 Chex Quest, which was a Doom total conversion mod
@@botezsimp5808 Chex quest
Hey, I got this game from a box of cereal, too lol! It was the only game that my grandma's old desktop could run hahaha
Brings me back to my early childhood😢
My favorite track
Living in the city
You've got to keep the dream alive
Always
I found this game on Sonic Gems, and I have loved Sonic R ever since! It’s one of my all time favourite Sonic Games!
Iv missed watching this game as a kid now im getting nostalgic 😢
You know, This is one of my favorite sonic games actually! The music is pretty KICKASS!!! my favorite songs are living in the city and super sonic racing!
True brother!!!!!!!!
Mine are "can you feel the sunshine", Living in the city, and Work it out

31:57 Can you feel the sunshine?
*literally raining in the game while tails run*
Man the soundtrack is amazing 👏
Sonic R is Goated 🙌🏻
Sonic r the best game🎉
This game has better snow than the GTA remaster💀
I vaguely remember playing a game like this on my family’s old Windows 95 PC… I think this had to be it! Thanks for the footage!
I wish we could get more Sonic racing games like this. I don't want to deal with vehicles, I want to use the unique powers of these characters.
I think this game is the reason why I love house music and electronic music in general. I hope someday Sega will release it on vinyl, this OST deserves it! And I'm not even talking about Wipeout and Extreme-G 🙃
played hours on my old sega saturn... memories...
This soundtrack is what I blast while at the gym or work.
This video just brought back so many memories of when i wad a child
1:01 Red Ring sfx
This game is so fun once you get it. That soundtrack is fire too.
Facts
I remembered my cousin got this game, and i would spend the night just to play this game. This soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
The nostalgic feels.
The soundtrack of this game is just simply PURE magic
One of the best soundtrack for a videogame
It was always an underrated masterpiece for me
Ayo, a cool new intro
A sonic R with the 3d models of the thumbnail would have been interesting.
Now it has that. Looks like the uploader liked your idea
Tbh I wish sega did a remaster of this. Granted it wasn't that good but the potential is there, the music is great and the new characters were always fun to unlock!
Imagine if they did this but with a modern spin (eg. sega all stars racing or sonic team racing, but without the transformation vehicles or team gimmick).
Characters able to drift, each having their abilities along with a beneficial boost with it (like knuckles glide can charge a boost while gliding to close the gap), new characters, drop dash for every character, new levels and cinematic loop-de-loops/ moments.

The fact that this was 2 years ago and has 800k views says alot. This game is so loved by us all in sonic community
Steady waiting for the day a Kaze or Chaos X come along n bring the true potential out this game
OMG, this is very nostalgic! 🥹🫶🏼
Even tho this game casually is a hour long its still a pretty good hour lol I miss sonic gems
nice intro and this mod is amazing
Bought this game for 1p, didn’t work at first, so I looked up a fix before I installed a windows xp vm, and found the updater. Holy crap it looks and plays really good don’t it?
But this game is abandonware so you can get it for free legally in My Abandonware
I played the first 3 games a bunch on genesis as a kid, but I'm pretty sure I played this almost as much on my dad's saturn as well. It's got a special place in my memories.

I miss that day when i first play this game. So much fun.
Eu sentia agonia quando ele esbarrava em uma parede ou ficava lento hahahaha, e isso que chamam de sentido gamer? Mesmo assim, uma gameplay de alta qualidade ;)
I like how the thumbnail is just Srb2 characters
Neat use of the srb2 models for the thumbnail
is too cool see sonic R is alive in 2022
Cool Video.
Bro this soundtrack has been haunting me since i was a kid i cant believe i finally found it lol
Damn that back in time song holds so much weight to us now....we actually wish we ckild go back in time fr now
Oh boy I used to play this shit at my friend's house. memories man. i want those old days back.
I do love racing games, so this being a perfect Saturn game for me to play.

That's cool and all but I feel we need some way to add custom tracks, and custom characters the original game was lacking into those aspects
Sonic R needs a remake.
No no no no no no
@@MildredGuillory-r9h Yes, it does need a remake. The original Sonic R was and is a broken, unbalanced game.

Es un poco tarde para este comentario pero, puedes decirme que musica utilizaste en la carrera contra los jefes? Buen video.
I got shocked when I heard no music from the start of resort island I said WHERES MY SUNSHINE and then the music showed up
The only thing i remembered about this game was sonic and the soundtrack, i played it like 20 years ago at my aunts place on PC, and i found it here!
I can feel the sunshine and it brightens up my day
31:55 "Can you feel the sunshine?"
Nope not today
What about today?
The music go so hard in this game it’s crazy this game is worth a lot of money
People always say this game is bad but it honestly looks like fun
Don’t you hate that feeling where you race a metallic version of none other than yourself?
12:54 Egg Robo.
Oh, a metal Eggman? Cool.
Great video!
Cool Longplay Sonic Beyond
I loved the challengers soundtrack❤
That soundtrack though…. 🔊
It's still strange no one fixed or modded the slower characters to keep the race's pace and making them not wandering restlessnessly.
What's the name of the song when your racing against tails doll and the other unlockable characters?
ruclips.net/video/8pYMWE88Jro/видео.htmlsi=QStIWxDaHT8LYqP4 it’s this boss theme from sonic 3d blast

This wasn’t recommended, you just remembered it and searched it up.
brings me back to 9 years old
Tails:can you feel the sun shine can you feel the rain 😂
Finally, challenging A.I.
2:31 what music is this
Sonic 3d blast boss (Saturn)
Esse jogo me trás muita nostalgia❤
23:27 Was there something like this?
I guess this is where jeck jims took inspiration for the srb2 models from
23:17 Super Sonic: Kill Mode Activated.
I Love The S3D Blast Goal Music
This game is so underrated the fact that people think this game is bad is crazy.
I played this on saturn with a original controller. its like trying to control melting butter on a sauce pan, way too slippery.
UltraSonicHero.
They say this is a cursed game. But I don't think so.
I'm surprised how many people here actually like this game lol. The ost is all I care about. TJ Davis and Richard Jacques really killed it. Dashie would definitely say, "WHO THE HELL WAS IN THE STUDIO!" (if he hasn't played this)
Better than any Mario Kart game
Bit of a hot take but sonic r is better than diddy kong racing
I use to have this game on the computer I beat this game with just using the errow keys and the space bar and I unlocked all the characters and I got the super sayan sonic.
I beat the game using one hand on a mouse
I can't be the only one who has come straight from the advent calendar.
My favorite is sonic beyond. Amazing
yay thanks for the video>_

I swear when I was younger Amy’s car used to make like a weird bubble sound when it drive or was that a different game xD
