Sonic R is a Mess, But Man It's Got Some Cool Ideas

Ойындар

Sonic R is a game constantly made fun of for being... Well, ad. But man there are all these charming things about it, and surprisingly it has some good ideas. Shocking I know. (And no, I'm not just talking about its soundtrack, as banging as Super Sonic Racing is.)

    Ahhh, Sonic R. I do think fondly of this game. I think Sega and TT had a great idea, that should’ve been explored better. If they did what you said with a sequel/remake, and took advantage of the characters’ moves, along with bringing in a ton of new courses and characters like Shadow, Blaze, Mighty, and the Chaotix, we could have a true gem on our hands. Also, I’m with you on Tails Doll. He’s practically the new Mighty with how neglected he is, and I sincerely hope we see him back again some day. Although back when I was 10 or 11, the fandom’s interpretation gave me the heebie jeebies. Fun fact: Sonic R was helped made by Traveller's Tales, a company that would later be known for creating all the Lego video games. There’s even a Tails Doll cameo in Lego Dimensions!

    First: yeah it's really unfortunate that that's never going to come about. I feel like Sonic R conceptually could've been really neat if expanded upon, but Sega seems really uninterested in doing anything with Sonic R as a whole. Second: Tails Doll really is a Might type situation, though I doubt Tails Doll will ever get his "Sonic Mania Plus." XD Third: Huh, for real. Didn't know that. (Besides the Tails Doll cameo.)

Though at some point I will have a video that's a little less positive, but it's not really on a game per se. You'll probably get it when you see it.

    I think a Sonic racing game with a concept similar to R would DEFINITELY work, mostly bc Sonic constantly says he’s on a car bc it’s even for the rest of characters to be on a race which is sad bc everyone has different abilities that could be exploited for really cool tracks and gameplay mechanics. Also with a Soundtrack like R’s please 🥺 Living in the City and Diamonds in the Sky are my favorites

    I think a big part of why the course design being made around the different characters' abilities is such a weird feature to lack isn't just for the obvious reasons, but also because that's exactly what they did with Sonic 3 (& Knuckles). Each zone had routes built in for each character, ranging from bosses and almost entire acts that only one character experienced, to small things like walls only Knuckles could break, or giant rings only Tails could reach. Granted, doing that not only in a 3D space, but with way more than just three characters in mind, would be considerably more difficult, but the point stands, Sonic R would be much better if they took the Sonic 3 approach to course design. (Also, while I agree that Tails Doll needs to come back, I really want to see Metal Knuckles again. I mean, look at him, such a badass character design to only put into a racing game.)

    I remember when I was but a wee lad, I went to get my eyes checked, dilated, prepped up for them good 'ol glasses, my dad and I went to Walmart, because that's pretty much our mall where we are. We ended up picking up a collection called "Sonic Action 4 pack" which came with the Sonic and Knuckles Collection 1-3, Sega Smash Pack 2, Sonic R, and Sonic CD. I could share countless memories with all those alone, but I most loved Sonic CD and some titles in Smash pack. Buuuuut, of course this was how I was introduced to Sonic R, and I agree man. It was a mess. However, it was a fun mess, especially in Multiplayer, because I'd often play that game with my brothers, and we'd all rush to 100 percent one file, and I'll conclude here to avoid writing a book. In the end - better game, better memories, better pizza, Papa Johns.
