- TriviaThis is the third racing game starring Sonic, after Sonic Drift (1994) and Sonic Drift 2 (1995). However, only this one is considered a true Sonic game; whereas kart racers are pretty much the same no matter which franchise is being used, Sonic R has elements you could only expect to see in a Sonic title.

Featured review
Horrible. One of the worst Sonic games I've ever played!
Back in Christmas 97, I really wanted a Sega Saturn and a copy of this game. What I got instead was an N64 and Lylat Wars, which was brill.
A decade later, I got Sonic Gems Collection and played this game. I like to thank my parents for getting me that N64 and Lylat Wars that decade before.
What's wrong with this game?:
. It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING! A Sonic game is suppose to be fast paced like Sonic himself. And here, we have a slow moving game that looks dull and doesn't excite at all. The levels look awful and just not very exciting to play in.
. There's only 9 characters and 4 racing areas. C'mon, guys! Imagine if Mario Kart 64 had only 4 levels to race in.
. Sonic moves so slow. He's called Sonic The Hedgehog and yet he runs as fast as an ordinary person. Fail.
. The songs are not very Sonic like. They don't even belong in a racing game. Who thought that this was a good idea.
. The Tails doll is the one of the worst characters ever.
. There's no race track and it's hard to know where you're going. Does that sound fun?
A racing game with Sonic could've been a classic. But Traveler's Tales were not the right people to make it. If SEGA themselves made it, it would've been great.
I think this game was one of the reasons the Saturn failed.
