About the game

Sonic and Tails are planning to go on a holiday when Tails sees an advertisement for a 'World Grand Prix'. Sonic is not interested, but when he sees that Dr Robotnik is also participating, he decides to enter the race. Robotnik has recently learned about the whereabouts of the powerful and rare Chaos Emerald. With the help of these emeralds, he wants to enslave the world, and he is using World Grand Prix as a trap to distract Sonic. Amy anD Knuckles hear the Robotnik's plan and decide to compete. Together, the four must restain Robotniks to get hold of the Emeralds, and also they need to win the race too.

Gameplay

  • Sonic R is present in both multiplayer and single-player mode. The player selects a character and participates in a footrace on one of five race tracks. Initially, four characters are available, as the players complete tasks the other characters unlocks. The player can collect the item spread across the path. If players collect rings, then they can use it to gain a temporary speed boost or open the doors that lead to a shortcut.
  • There is an item panel that gives temporary advantages like increase in speed or ability to run across water. If you collect special items such as Chaos emeralds and Sonic tokens that you can unlock the secret characters.
  • There is also a 'Time Attack' mode, where the player races single to get the fastest time. And there is a two-player competitive mode, that increases to four-players in the Gems Collection port. To the standard time trial mode, there is an addition of two others: Get 5 Balloons and tag four characters.

This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

The PC version of Sonic R was notably improved over the Saturn original, and was later included in Sonic Gems Collection. Regardless, it still made people feel like they were pushing a cinder block across a rubber floor using a pen cap.

2004 Release Differences
Sonic R is known to be a very crash-prone game on newer systems. Here's its leaner, meaner, and much less crashy-er counterpart.

Leftover Direct3D Test Menu

Mods
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Is there a way to enable this menu? The executable file contains a reference to it. The accelerator keys don't work: has the code been removed, or is something else intercepting the inputs?

For some reason, the executable contains the menu from a very old Direct3D test program.

And some accelerator keys for these functions:

'About' Box

The 'About' dialogue box is still in the executable, and can be accessed with a resource hacker.

Network Mode

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Does this work on LANs? With the patched version of the game? Would Serial/Modem modes work on systems with serial ports or modems?

Sonic R had a post-release patch that added networking support. (You know, because the game was going to be all the rage at LAN parties). As it turns out, an early version of this shipped in the retail game, accessible via memory editor. Obviously, it suffers from a few shortcomings compared to the patched version.

Only TCP/IP works; IPX just dings at you. In addition, you cannot enter an IP address or have a name other than 'Player'.

Despite this, everything still works quite swimmingly. You can select a course and a character and play against a friend, so long as they happen to be on the same computer as you.

Unused Graphics

There's unused menu graphics. They're not all that interesting, but they're there.

The 'Player X In' labels went unused; the 'Joystick/Keyboard X' labels were used instead.

The graphics for the network mode went unused as, of course, the entire network mode went unused. Curiously, the final build of the network patch went for a text-based interface.

These relatively non-descriptive letters for the menu models were replaced with actual icons. Also, there's a bunch of randomly placed palettes for whatever reason.

Some unused animated icons for the different time attack modes of Sonic R. These were replaced with smaller versions of the main menu models, which is a darn shame because these look really cool. Also, there's a couple of scribbles in the margins for good measure.

There's a placeholder 'SAVE' menu option for the results screen along with its background. Surprisingly, it's infinitely more readable than the actual choices, probably due to it not looking like it's behind an inch of solid ice.

The main menu graphics contain an icon for the unused Network mode, cobbled together from the default Windows 95 graphics. It's certainly more informative than the bunch of question marks, anyways. It did go used in the Network patch.

Oddities

Window Caption

If you force windowed mode using D3DWND or another DirectX windowing program and choose Direct3D, the caption will read SonicR by Traveler's Tales, but if you choose DirectDraw it will read BackBuffer.

This cannot be seen normally because the game always runs at fullscreen.

Out of Bounds Objects

For whatever reason all the levels have balloons placed out-of-bounds.

To do:
Find the balloon in Regal Ruin. It most likely exists, I just can't find it.

This also applies to most other objects as well.

Strangely, the GameCube and PC versions seem to differ in where these balloons are located.

Challenge Race Vs. Tails

If you somehow get five Sonic tokens on Radiant Emerald (impossible without cheating due to it lacking said tokens), you get challenged to race against Tails.

If you were playing as Tails, it would be Sonic instead. This is because the game never sets the opponent for Radiant Emerald, so it just reuses whoever the second player was during the Grand Prix race.

EggRobo Texture Goof

For whatever reason, the texture on EggRobo's gun got botched in the conversion between the Saturn and the PC. The texture of the part next to the trigger was erroneously replaced with the top of Tails' eye.

This was carried over to the Gems Collection release, which would be surprising if it weren't for the fact that not a single person cared about EggRobo, let alone knew what his name was.

Ready, Set, Go!

In English, at the start of a game, the words 'Ready', 'Set', and 'Go' are displayed. For some reason, in French, German, Spanish, and Italian, these words are not translated and the process is instead represented by 'traffic lights'.

Debugging Strings

There are a lot of debugging strings littered about Sonic R. These strings are loaded in various parts in key subroutines in the code right before a null sub. In some revisions of the Network Patch, this null sub is replaced by a printf-like routine that outputs the debug info to a text log.

Sonic R Pc Download

This is mostly useful during graphics initialization: (this is a small excerpt of a large log.)

It also announces every time it calls a major subroutine, which makes making a disassembly slightly easier. It's oddly nice to know that even the programmers just called all the files that make up the title screen 'stuff'.

Sonic R Pc Download

Attempting to list every single such string would not be easy, as there are a lot.

Unused Strings

There are strings that do not appear to be used, or at least are never referred to directly by any active code. A weird amount of these refer to features or files that no longer exist. (This is not all of them, as there are simply too many strings to sort through, but it's a sizable portion nevertheless.)

To do:
Some of these lost strings refer to code that is still in the executable but is never directly called by anything. Research that.
