Each storyline would lead you into an open world full of hidden shortcuts and special upgrades to find. With his sarcastic, edgy quips and energetic spirit, he showed fans that his quick wit could match his lightning-fast speed.īut that’s not all Sonic Adventure introduced - we got a ton of new storylines through the perspective of six playable characters: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, a robot named E-102 Gamma, and even Big the Cat. And while the original 2D games showed glimpses of Sonic’s sass by having him glare at the screen and tap his foot impatiently until you started moving again, Sonic Adventure established the hedgehog’s personality in a way we hadn’t seen before. While Sonic R paved the way for the hedgehog’s initial 3D experience, Sonic Adventure was Sega’s true transition to the third dimension, with full open worlds to explore, and an extensive voice cast for Sonic and his friends.

Egg Robo, and the infamously cursed Tails Doll.Įven though the turning mechanics may feel stiff and outdated, the clunkiness is what gives Sonic R its charm. By winning first place in each world and grabbing all the chaos emeralds and coins throughout the map, you can unlock fun bonus characters like Metal Sonic, Dr. The nice thing is that you can use the 3D environment to your advantage! Incorporating 3D elements lets you take shortcuts for faster race times, and it will also help you find all the secret collectibles scattered around the world. But there’s no sugarcoating the fact that this game is hard to control - turning is frustrating and you’ll find yourself running into walls constantly. While Sonic R only has five courses, the exploration makes it more replayable.
Not to mention, the game's theme song is super catchy! In Sonic R, instead of competing with race cars, Sonic and friends run to the finish line on foot, with each character having their own unique moves and abilities. Originally released on the Sega Saturn in 1997, Sonic R is an experimental racing game that set the tone for Sonic’s future in 3D. (Image Credit: Sonic Team, Traveller’s Tales)
