Sonic R

Synopsis[]

How fast can you go? If you love to cut loose through twisting, whipping upside-down flipping, high-flying loop-de-loops, you'll love SONIC R! Sonic, the world's fastest Hedgehog, goes nose to toes with the world's meanest mad scientist, Dr. Robotnik. The evil doctor is gunning for the grand prize - the world-famous Chaos Emeralds! Can the fastest racer in the world outrun Robotnik's most diabolical scheme to date? Run, don't walk to wild and wicked head-over-tail speed fun!

Race as Sonic or his friends Tails, Knuckles, Amy or even Dr. Robotnik plus many more secret characters!
You're all over the map in fully explorable 3D circuits with 360º character control.
Five corkscrewing courses with zillions of paths. Race them all and find the most goodies and shortcuts, plus hidden bonus courses!
Play 2-player head-to-head, 4-player split screen, and 4-player network play. Dial up frieds or relatives for total Sonic racing fun!
