If he was shocked at that, then he doesn't want to know how many jump buttons are used for the 6 button Genesis controller..

The trick to completely breaking this game is...go backwards. As soon as a race starts, turn around and go the wrong way. Complete one lap in the wrong direction, collecting every Ring you can. Since you're doing the lap backwards, you'll reach most of the Rings before any other racers do. This not only makes you insanely fast, but also denies the other racers of most speed boosts. Once you have most of the Rings, grab the Emerald, then start heading the correct direction. Due to you having hoarded all of the Rings, you'll be fast enough to undo the difference in lap distance and still grab the 1st place.

@@nthgth I don't know, Mario Kart was mostly drift to win assuming items didn't screw you over, which just makes it more frustrating than fun to me. Never played Diddy Kong, but the little I have seen of it makes it seem more interesting. Mostly in that there's flying. Twisted Metal was fun, I'll give you that, but in a distinctly different way, but the single player could absolutely be a frustrating endeavour at times. Lastly, Gran Turismo was a meh to me. At the time I really didn't like sim racers, even now I'm not especially fond of them. Sim racers like Forza Horizon that get away from the standard race tracks are a major personal preference, and even then I can get bored fairly quickly. Around that time, what I'd say was the most enjoyable racer for me (and my friends too luckily) was San Francisco Rush 2049. Criminally underrated, functional open maps with a plethora of secrets and alternate routes. It has a battle mode similar to Twisted Metal, though there's no bots unfortunately. A stunt mode, as the cars have wings to glide and provide a modicum of air control. Also has a love it or hate it soundtrack. Yes Sonic R is flawed and strictly speaking the games you suggested were technically better, but Sonic R does have an unique charm in it's flaws. While the complexity of the tracks is a bit much, I love that you can go your own way in the races, plus the characters actually play distinctly differently unlike most racers.

My though exactly; as the game mechanics were explained, I kept thinking "This sounds good, this is clever". In fact it's probably that mix of mechanics that brought the game down, with developers having to cope with several different gameplay mechanics that probably couldn't have worked together fine. Hell, the ballon thing bugged me to no end. If you told me "Let's make a Sonic racing game mode where you have to collect items to win" my first though would me "CHAOS EMERALDS" And yes, the Chaos Emeralds are in the game. Except, not where it belongs. This game would probably had benefited from having a "classic race mode", a "collectathon mode" (where having more rings and/or finding secrat paths give you bonus so you could end 2nd or 3rd and yet still win) and the "balloon/Chaos Emerald collect" game. Of course, if would have benefited form having better race design, more balanced characters, and better handling overall... But even with good, tight control, as it is, the game would be only somewhat better.

The Sega Saturn in general should be taught as an example of how not to launch an console.

When you understand the amount of time, work and planning those games took, even if disliking the gameplay, you learn to enjoy this is part of the work of one of the most successful programmers of the Genesis and Saturn eras, and understand that a really bad game is very different from this. Very easily games like Sonic And The Secret Rings took the hell of a less amount of work, distributed by a team of many, with no innovative programming techniques and no actual pushing of the limitations of the console they were made in. The way I see it, Sonic R is quite a good game comparing to many of the modern era Sonic games. This is like if you try to compare Pacman with Cyperpunk. Pacman is still better. Think about this.

Imagine how good Sonic R could have been had they actually given them the extra year Sega had originally told travellers tales they had. It could have genuinely been an all time great, and really helped point the direction for 3D sonic. It was such a missed opportunity.

Very easily games like Sonic And The Secret Rings took the hell of a less amount of work, distributed by a team of many, with no innovative programming techniques and no actual pushing of the limitations of the console they were made in. The way I see it, Sonic R is quite a good game comparing to many of the modern era Sonic games. This is like if you try to compare Pacman with Cyperpunk, Pacman is still better. I also personally don't think the game is really that bad. It looks pretty good for the time it was made on.

According to director Jon Burton, who was one of the responsible people for this garbage, there is a reason why the controls suck: It was initially developed as an Formula 1 game (there's even a McLaren MP4-11 in the hidden files), but Sega suddenly appeared and asked them to retool it into a Sonic racing game with platforming elements.

2015 me would defend sonic boom. I don't know why, but back then I thought the game was decent.

Somehow even if its bad i have a soft spot for Sonic R, i dunno maybe its the weird 90's charm, the overly exaggerated cheesey soundtrack, the fact you have Cyber Knuckles and Tails Doll and Eggman playable, and the fact that even if its bad at both being a platformer and a kart racer but still being those things while they could just simply said "slap sonic into a car and get it done with it already" which they already did before this game with Sonic Drift but they instead went with "What if is a Sonic Kart Racer but Sonic runs on foot?" it makes it stand out even with all its flaws. Its like Sonic The Fighters/Championship yes is a virtua fighter sonic clone, yes its ridiculous and doesnt do anything different to stand out, but the fact that a Virtua Fighter like Sonic fighting game exists is on its own unique and i will always have a soft spot for that. Yes was a total failure, yes it had to pass like more than 20 years until we got a proper "Kart racer" game with Sonic that wasnt a total bust, yes Cyber Knuckles and Tails Doll are MIA since this game being playable, but still you gotta commend that from all the clone racers out there this one had charm and was at least kinda unique on its own, even being a total failure at the things it wanted to do, the fact that exists and didnt just said "scrap all of this, its not working stick to traditional kart racing" is an achivement on its own. Also we do have now the equivalent to Mario Kart 64 with Sonic Robo Blast Kart, while its insanely popular and doesnt have the right to be that good, and i sincerely recommend anybody downloading it and playing it with friends (trust me you will thank me later) i still think they could had added a on foot mode that still sticks to what SRBKart does but now combines the insanely good 3D platforming of SRB2 having the real Sonic R we should had have back in the day. Jon did some videos about Sonic R and how this game wasnt even a Sonic game to begin with, it was an F1 game that they couldn't make and then sega told them to turn it into a Sonic racer game, he still likes this game even with all its flaws and even helped with some stuff for the recent fan made HD "remake" fans did that adds Widescreen and even fixes the FOV and draw distance, even has better texture resolution and native support for modern OS's.

So for you, this was the real Sonic 3-D blast. .. I'll see myself out.

This seems like an idea that should be revisited and done correctly today. Forgo the platforming part, focus on the racing itself, focus on a more liner track design, there are plenty of past levels of sonic games over the generations to base tracks on, fans would love to see tracks based on a level of two from sonic adventures 1 or 2 mixed with a retro level like chemical plant from metal sonic. Take the idea of diddy Kong racing allowing you to have multiple types of vehicles. Speedy characters like sonic and shadow could obviously run or use a car (shadow would use a motorcycle) while characters like tails could run or use his airplane from the video games. Make the game cross platform on all 3 consoles. In this day and age this concept can be done well

While I agree with a lot of things you said, I think you should've pointed out the power difference between the Saturn and the N64. Of *course* the draw distance is going to be higher for the N64 games, it was a generation ahead in terms of processing capability. While I don't really like to play it, I think it is a very impressive game for the Saturn. The maps are clunky and overdesigned to show off that yes, the Saturn *can* do 3D games. But having 5 3D models, in a complex 3D environment, all acting independently of one another? That's insane for the Saturn! I realize that just saying "the hardware was bad" doesn't excuse most of the game's problems, but it's also important to realize what context the game was released in.

This entire video was just full of complaints. Of course he wasn't going to mention the music, because that would have made the game look good, and Rerez didn't want it to look good.

All part of the mental gymnastics of dunking on what is a perfectly serviceable and charming racing game with great controls to master. It must be a meme or something. I don't get where all the hate comes from. People seem unable to divorce the quality of the game itself from the disappointing context of its release. Put it this way, there are much MUCH worse Sonic games than this lmao

@@ChrisStoneinator No. I own a still-working Saturn and of all the disks I own, this one is never dusted off. This game is bloody awful. Its ONLY redeeming factor is the music, which I love.

@@PBK1977 Your problem is you're playing the Saturn version. Every subsequent release, including the contemporary PC port, is vastly improved.

​​@@jakescartoons6045 1) "This entire video was just full of complaints" They literally told and show you the game's problems: Awful controls, only 5 tracks with confusing roads and dumb gimmicks, collectables that are impossible to get in 1st place thanks to the (as I mention before) awful controls, unbalanced character stats and boring side modes. 2) "Of course he wasen't going to mention the music because that would have made the game good, and Rerez didn't want it to look good" What do you expect from a video from a series called "Just *Bad* Games"? The series is about talking about what makes a specific game just BAD! Even if it has one or two reedaming qualites, it still has more flaws that makes the game FAR from good.

Say what you want about this game. You can never deny that all sonic games, regardless of quality, have a kickass soundtrack.

I think they spend more time working on the soundtracks than on the games themselves

Analogue controls weren't really important to MK64 as most of the time during cornering you're just waggling to get a speed boost.

I don't know how you guys edit so good!

Gotta talk about Life of Black Tiger, Aleckine's Gun, Bubsy 3d, Contra Rogue Corps, Batman Forever (Genesis or SNES), Fantasia, MK Mythologies Sub Zero, and Mega Man X7.

megaman x7 isn't as bad as everyone says it is in my opinion.

Oh boy, now that you mentioned Traveller’s Tale Games, is Rascal going to pop up in this series somewhere?

@@zeldagameryt4018 Wrath of Cortex is a very mixed bag, I'd say.

I have a hunch that Sonic R was originally going to be Sonic Adventure. Then they realised that wasn't gonna work on the Saturn, thus why there was a large gap between the apparent foreshadowing of SA's story in S3&K and its actual release.
