Introduction ------------------------------------------------ Hi! We're Nathan (Segaholic2) and Jason (Double -S-) Tsui. We like video and computer games (don't you?). This is our FAQ on Sonic R, the first game to put our favorite video-game character (Sonic, in case you're wondering) into "true" 3D, since you can't really count the not- so-great Sonic 3D Blast, and Sonic X-Treme never made it out of pro- duction. :( This game was made for both the Sega Saturn and PC, so this FAQ will cover both versions. Oh, just in case you might like to know, we only have the PC version of the game, and not the Saturn. Because of this, all information for the Saturn version of this game will be from other sources, not first-hand experience. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please mail us at segaholic2@yahoo.com (Nathan) or stkrule@yahoo.com (Jason). We hope to hear from you! If you find any errors in this FAQ, mail us. We will fix it up for the next version, plus your name will be put into the Credits section. Well, let's get started! ------------------------------------------------ 2.

Storyline ------------------------------------------------ In case you're wondering, this was taken directly from the Sonic R game manual. --------- Sonic and Tails are enjoying a little time off from their adventures. The trip they've planned will be a nice, relaxing vacation. Or so they think... Tails spots a huge sign alongside the road. It is a billboard for the World Grand Prix. "Sonic, look! There's going to be a huge race with all the best racers in the world. What a great opportunity for you to show off your speed and compete with the other top runners!" Sonic thinks for a moment. He's the world's fastest runner, but participating in races is not really his interest. Then something on the sign catches his eye. Dr. Robotnik, Sonic's archenemy, is participating in the race! In a blur, Sonic races off into the distance. "Wait, Sonic! Wait for me!" Tails shouts after his friend. Miles above the sign, a spy satellite focuses on Sonic and Tails. Dr. Robotnik snickers in delight. "Now that you have fallen into my trap, Sonic, I will finally have the Chaos Emeralds, and beat you at the same time. With my new hover machine, and these..." Dr. Robotnik looks to his left, and a row of gleaming eyes gaze back at him, "nothing can go wrong! Ha ha ha ha ha ha..." Little does Sonic know that Dr. Robotnik has learned where to find the Chaos Emeralds! Sonic is not the only one who will be racing against Dr. Robotnik. Sonic's rival, Knuckles, has learned that Sonic will be participating in a very important race. Knuckles never turns down a chance to be around Sonic when the action starts. Amy will be there, too. After secretly overhearing Dr. Robotnik's plans, she also decided to join the race to find the Chaos Emeralds. ------------------------------------------------ 4. Character Attributes ------------------------------------------------ When you first start Sonic R, you only get four characters to race as: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy. After you meet certain goals, you can get more racers. These are: Dr. Robotnik, Mecha Sonic, Puppet Tails, Egg-Robo, Cyber Knuckles, and the ultimate Super Sonic! :) Regular Characters -------------------- Here are the attributes of the regular characters. There are also his/ her ratings in a five star rating on Acceleration, Max Speed, Turning, & Special. Sonic- He has the best top speed out of all the regular characters (DUH!). He has the best jumping ability, too. However, his turning and acceleration are not so good. :( His special is a double jump (see Section [5]: Controls). Sonic is one of the three characters who can Turbo (only Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles can perform this move). He is Segaholic2's favorite character to race as, after the ultimate Super Sonic. --------------------- |Acceleration | *** | |Max Speed | **** | |Turning | ** | |Special | ***** | --------------------- Tails- His acceleration is excellent, but his top speed is lower than Sonic (DUH!) and Knuckles. His turning is very good, too. Tails' special is his ability to fly (Not! He just hovers, not falling at all, and then after a while, he falls). >;( He's Double -S-'s favorite character. ----------------------- |Acceleration | **** | |Max Speed | *** | |Turning | ****1/2 | |Special | *** | ----------------------- Knuckles- Some say that this echidna is the best balanced out of the normal characters. His acceleration is average, his top speed is average, his turning is pretty good, and his special is gliding. ---------------------- |Acceleration | *** | |Max Speed | ***1/2 | |Turning | ***1/2 | |Special | *** | ---------------------- Amy- This pink female hedgehog is Sonic's girlfriend. She is the worst character out of all 10. She drives around in her pink little car. Her accleration is bad, her speed is ROTTEN, but her turning is good. Her special is a turbo boost, which does NOT make up for her bad speed. She can't jump. Don't be her unless you want to perform the *See ya, Sphinx* move (see Section [9]: Unexplained Incidents). --------------------- |Acceleration | ** | |Max Speed | ** | |Turning | ***** | |Special | **1/2 | --------------------- Dr. Robotnik- Evil Doctor Robotnik. He's not really a secret character, because to get him you just have to beat the game. He drives in his hover thing and shoots missiles at people. >;) BLAM! MWAHAHA! DIE! DIE! Ahem. I have regained control. OK, his acceleration is not too good, but his turning is excellent because he doesn't touch the ground. Speed is bad. He can't jump. Missiles are his specialty, but they cost 10 RPM (Rings Per Missile), and they aren't very effective. Missiles! >:) Oh, you don't want me to start again. Fine. Be that way. :_( --------------------- |Acceleration | ** | |Max Speed | **1/2 | |Turning | **** | |Special | ** | --------------------- Special Characters -------------------- Here are the attributes of the Secret/Special/Hidden/Whatever you wanna call 'em characters. There are also his/its ratings in a five star rating on Acceleration, Max Speed, Turning, & Special. To get the Special Characters, find all five of the Sonic Coins in the track and place in at least third. Then race the hidden character. Defeat him to have him at your disposal! Robotic Sonic- This version of the imitation Sonic has been around since Sonic CD, also appearing in Sonic Drift 2, Knuckles Chaotix, and making a cameo in Sonic Adventure. His acceleration is HORRID! His top speed is the second best in the game, though (after Super Sonic). Turning is also nasty. He has no special ability. ----------------------- |Acceleration | ** | |Max Speed | ****1/2 | |Turning | * | |Special | None | ----------------------- Puppet Tails- Here is a doll copy of Tails. It's _BAD_. Acceleration is OK, though, but it doesn't keep him from being the worst of the special characters. His max speed is bad, as is his turning. His special is his wierd hover-jump. Since he never makes contact with the ground, though, he never falls into the water, which is his only advantage. He isn't slowed down by water, unlike Dr. R and Amy Rose. --------------------- |Acceleration | *** | |Max Speed | **1/2 | |Turning | ** | |Special | *** | --------------------- Egg-Robo- Remember the only badnik in the Sky Sanctuary Zone (Sonic & Knuckles)? He's back! He can shoot missiles, like the real-life person he is a copy of (Robotnik). >=) His acceleration is rather fair, but his top speed is not too good. His turning isn't too nice, either. Special is shooting missiles. --------------------- |Acceleration | *** | |Max Speed | **1/2 | |Turning | *** | |Special | ** | --------------------- Cyber Knuckles- A copy of Knuckles. He is like his counterpart: well balanced. His acceleration is OK, his speed is all right, and his turning is average, too. He can glide like Knux, too. However, all of his attributes are a little better than the real Knuckles. ---------------------- |Acceleration | *** | |Max Speed | **** | |Turning | ***1/2 | |Special | *** | ---------------------- Super Sonic- Of course, you get him after you get all the Chaos Emeralds. And more of course, he's the best racer in the game. He can MOVE! He takes off way ahead of everyone because of his totally to the max acceleration, stays way ahead with his great speed, rounds corners very nicely and has the awesome double jump. *HE* *IS* *THE* ******* *BEST!* ******* ----------------------- |Acceleration | ****1/2 | |Max Speed | ***** | |Turning | ****1/2 | |Special | ***** | ----------------------- ------------------------------------------------ 5. Controls ------------------------------------------------ Everybody's controls are the same except for their specials. ------- These are the controls for the Saturn version. Special thanks goes to The Honorable Queen Laine for providing this info! Run Forward/Accelerate: Up, B button Movement: Directional-Pad Hard Turn: L and R buttons (located on top of controller) Roll: Down on D-Pad when running (only for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) Turbo: Hold Down on D-Pad and repeatedly tap B button (Accelerate) (only for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) Brake: Press L and R buttons at the same time, or press Down on the D-Pad for everybody but Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles Jump/Special: A or C buttons Change Camera: X, Y, or Z buttons Pause: Start button ------- Here are the basic controls for the PC version (these are configurable). Run Forward/Accelerate: Up, Accelerate button Turn: Left and Right Hard Turn: Left and Right Flippers Roll: Down when running (only for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) Turbo: Hold Down and repeatedly tap Accelerate button (only for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) Brake: Press Left and Right Flippers at the same time, or press Down for everybody but Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles Jump/Special: Action button Change Camera: Change View button Pause: Start button ------- These are everybody's specials. To use these, press A or C for the Saturn version, or press your Action button (jump key) for the PC version. Some specials require rings. Sonic/Super Sonic- Double Jump- Press the Action button twice to perform a double jump. This can be used to steal the Purple Emerald (see Section [10]: Tricks and Cheats). Tails- Fly- Press the Action button twice to hover for a *short* while. You can still maneuver while you are flying, but you drop very fast. Knuckles- Glide- Press the Action button twice to glide. This is better than Tails' Flying move. Amy Rose- Turbo Boost- Do not confuse this with Sonic's Turbo move. This is much worse! This special is supposed to compensate for her lousy everything, but it doesn't. Press Action when you see a Tire picture in the top- right corner of your screen. This should re-generate every 10-15 seconds. Dr. Robotnik- Missiles- When you have 10 rings and you see a Missile picture in the top-right corner of your screen, you can fire a missile. When a yellow target box appears on your screen, press your Action button to fire away! These missiles are heat-seeking, so they will home in on your target. There is no escape from the evil of Dr. Robotnik! MWA-HA-HA- HAA!!! Robotic Sonic- Nothing- He doesn't have a special. He has really good jumping ability, though. Puppet Tails- Hover- Hold down the Action button and you can hover! This isn't very useful, though you can use it to skip over the ramp jump in Reactive Factory. Egg-Robo- Missiles- When you have 10 rings and you see a Missile picture in the top-right corner of your screen, you can fire a missile. When a yellow target box appears on your screen, press your Action button to fire away! These missiles are heat-seeking, so they will home in on your target. MWA-HA-HA-HAA!!! Cyber Knuckles- Glide- Press the Action button twice to glide. The results are exactly the same as Knux's (the real one) glide, only better. ------------------------------------------------ 6. Items & Objects ------------------------------------------------ There are not really that many items in this game. But, here they are. Items ---------- Rings- Of course! These doughnut-like power things have to be in a Sonic game, or it wouldn't be a Sonic game! Collect as many of these as you can, as you can use them for the Accelerators and use them to open secret doors, which are usually guarding Chaos Emeralds or Sonic Coins. Power-Up Item- This is the weird red, yellow, and blue spinning thing. It will give you a random power-up, which will be one of these four things. An icon will appear above your head to show you what you just got. Numbered Rings- This power-up will give you either 5, 10, or 20 rings, according to the number shown. Speed Shoes- This makes your character move faster. It can be identified by the shoe. Lightning Shield- When you get this power-up, a yellow globe will appear around you. Then every single ring within a certain range will gravitate towards you. This is fun to use to steal the rings someone is trying to get. >:) Falling into the water washes away this shield, and it will disappear after a while. :( The icon shown when you get this is a lightning bolt. Water Shield- This blue shield enables your character to walk on water. You can only use it once, though. :( This icon appears as a blue globe. Sonic Coins- If you find all five Sonic Coins, finish in at least 3rd, and beat the secret character of that course, you can then play as that character. To find out how to get them, see section [7]: Sonic Coins & Chaos Emeralds. Chaos Emeralds- Find these gems and get in first. If you don't finish in first, you can't keep them. :( Get all seven to be Super Sonic!!! 8) Objects ---------- Accelerators- There is one of these on every track. They require rings to use them. The more rings you have, the farther you go, the max ride taking 50 rings. Loops- There is one of these on every track except for Radical City. There are rings on all of these except for the one in Reactive Factory. Take these only when you are desperately low on rings. Regal Ruin's loop-de-loop is a hidden double loop! Springs- These springs propel you into the air. You have to jump on them, though, so Amy, Robotnik, Puppet Tails, or Egg-Robo can't take them. Some you can just walk onto, though. ------------------------------------------------ 7. Sonic Coins & Chaos Emeralds ------------------------------------------------ This section contains information on how to get the Sonic Coins and Chaos Emeralds. Sonic Coins ------------- Resort Island (Robotic Sonic) 1. You will pass under a rock formation right after the start. Climb on top of it. 2. Right behind the waterfall. Follow the slope and arrow sign down after getting number 1. 3. In the 20-Ring door in the ruins part. Head straight and turn left after number 2. 4. Right after the Power-Up, head straight. It's on one of the islands. 5. Don't take the Accelerator. Take the left (longer) way at the split. Radical City (Puppet Tails) 1. After passing under the rock tunnel, take the left way and drop down the hole. 2. Run towards the 20-Ring door and turn right to get back on the main track. After the Power-Up take the right and smash the barrier. It is in the middle of the Sonic pinball machine. 3. Just before the Accelerator, there is a 20-ring passage to the right. The coin is in here. 4. At the same spot where you fell down the hole to get the first coin, jump over the hole and continue with the track (take the left way). Continue forward and smash the barrier. You must be moving fast enough or you won't make it onto the platform where the coin rests. 5. At the split after the rock tunnel, jump over the hole again and take the left path again. Don't go through the barrier; turn right and continue. Regal Ruin (EggRobo) 1. Right after the start there is a hump on the left turn. It's on top. 2. Coming up to the built-up area there is a slope with two springs to the left. Jump on the second one you see. 3. After the windy-down part, take the right (main) path. Turn left and go up the slope. 4. Right after the start line, take the left and go along the narrow walkway. Don't fall off or you will lose mega time. It's on the bridge. 5. Take the shortcut: right after the Power-Up on the bridge, turn right. Don't go up the slope; take the narrow strip and go along until you come to an opening. Take the slope up and go forward, then turn left at the split. You'll find the coin here. This is also an *excellent* shortcut, as it skips the entire windy section. How do those guys design these tracks anyway?!? Reactive Factory (Cyber Knuckles) 1. Continue forward from the start line; it's on top of the grey submarine. 2. Now turn right around and head for the second left of the track going backwards. Jump a small pool and get the coin. Head to the tower: behind it is an entry. Hit the spring to get out quickly. 3. Go left after the Accelerator burst ends. Take the left path and work your way up. Go inside the 20-Ring door for a coin. 4. After the Accelerator burst ends, take the left path again. This time go right. 5. After number 4, take the left turn very sharply. You should see it. Chaos Emeralds ------------- Resort Island BLUE: In the 50-Ring door after the hairpin turn; don't take the Accelerator or you will miss it. Radical City GREEN: At the first dip in the track, there is a 20-Ring door to the left. PURPLE: After the Power-Up, there is a 50-Ring tunnel. It's in there. Or you can be a bad boy and steal it! (see Section [10]: Tricks and Cheats) Regal Ruin YELLOW: Right after the start line take the left and follow the narrow runway. It's inside the pyramid in the 50-Ring door. ORANGE: After the first Power-Up on the bridge, take the slope up. Go straight to a 20-Ring door. It's inside the pyramid. Reactive Factory RED: *Right* after the loop, there is a 50-Ring door on the right. It is directly after it, so don't miss it! GRAY: Right before the Accelerator, take the left path (don't take the Accelerator). Open the 50-Ring door and wait on the yellow submarine. ------------------------------------------------ 8. Courses ------------------------------------------------ This section covers all the tracks in the game and the shortest path to take in each. The guys who programmed this game made courses like the levels in Sonic games (eg. Resort Island=Green Hill Zone, Angel Island Zone, etc., Radical City=Casinopolis Zone, Carnival Night Zone, etc., Regal Ruin=Aquatic Ruins Zone, Marble Garden Zone, blah, blah, blah). The only things lacking are a snow level, a lava level, a Death Egg or Launch Base-type level, and maybe an underground cave. :( A basic TRICK for all tracks is to Turbo before the gal says "GO!" and blast off ahead of the competition! In the Options menu, you can select whether the track music will have lyrics or not. Segaholic2 prefers them on, and sometimes finds himself singing along to the music. Yeah! "Work it out, Work it out, Think about it!..." Resort Island ----------------- Ahh...a nice beach with a ruins area, a rock formation, a forest, and lots of little islands. A lush area like this can be easily recognized as the typical "first" zone of all Sonic games. How to get the fastest lap possible- Turbo at the start. Continue to follow the main track. When you get to the area where the track turns right to go into the rocky area, jump to the left into the ruins part of the track. Go through here, then turn left when you see the main track. Get the Power-Up Item and then take the Accelerator if you have at least 50 rings. If you don't have enough rings, skip the accelerator and take the forest route: just before the split in the track. Run past the loop-de-loop on the right side, and you've finished the lap! Radical City ----------------- Yeah! A city! There are many different routes to take. Also, water- ways and barriers litter the track. There's a giant slot machine (!), but you can't play it. To add to your fun there's a pinball area! Cool. TRICK: Don't use someone who can't jump (eg. Dr. Robotnik, Amy Rose, etc...) How to get the fastest lap possible- Turbo at the start and use the TRICK above. When you get to the first dip in the track with the water, jump and turn left. It is better to do this trick with someone who can run on water, such as Super Sonic. If you are using Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles, run along the right side of the wall and keep jumping. If you are using Robotic Sonic or Cyber Knuckles, run on the water, and keep jumping. When you get to the wall on the left part of the area you are in, jump over it. To accomplish this with Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles, jump (or swim) over to the wall and push against it. When you come up (you should, if not, move along the wall until you do) jump over the wall. After that, turn left and move along. After the Power-Up Item, stick to the right side of the track. Smash the barrier and fall down into the pinball area. No time to play; jump over any bouncy thingies in your way and find the exit in the top- right corner of Sonic's picture. Turn right, hit the springs at the base of the slot-machine, and take the Accelerator. Run forward a short bit and you're done! Regal Ruin ----------------- An ancient ruins. Once again, a course like a classic Sonic level. Check out the Echidna Sphinxes! Also, if you look closely enough, you can find Sonic's, Tails', Knuckles', and Robotnik's faces on the ground. There are also pictures of Sonic on the walls. Cool! This track also hides the only double loop-de-loop in the game. How to get the fastest lap possible- Turbo at the start and blast over the bridge. Get the rings and turn right when the wall on the right ends. Run as fast as you can towards the body of water and use your Special to get over it. Enter the tunnel and go up the ramp. Head left and speed up the tunnel. Run out and hit the Accelerator if you have enough rings. Follow the curve to the finish line! Reactive Factory ----------------- This is, perhaps, the hardest course of all five, with the most options in choices of routes. This is Double -S-'s favorite course, and Segaholic2 loves the music in this track. How to get the fastest lap possible- Turbo at the start and take the second right. Run ahead and turn *hard* right on the jump. You can skip the whole loop section by turning in mid-air and landing next to the Accelerator. Take the Accelerator no matter what and take the right path. Jump over the water and run until you see a formation with a short tower on it. Run _onto_ it and turn hard right. Roll to the finish line! Radiant Emerald ----------------- This track has the best graphics in the game! The natural habitat of the Chaos Emeralds! The power of the emeralds pulses through the entire track, making it a brilliant rainbow of stars and crystals. This track looks better than the Rainbow Road of Mario Kart 64! It is rather linear and doesn't have many multiple routes. Oh, and by the way, you have to place 1st in the other four tracks before this is accessible. Kinda the "hidden" track in the game. To beat the game just get first in this track (in other words, first in all the tracks) to see a cool credits sequence with a nice 3D picture of the person you beat it as. How to get the fastest lap possible- Nothing much, just Turbo at the start and try to open the two 50-Ring doors as soon as possible so you can take the Accelerator and shortcut. ------------------------------------------------ 9. Whaa...? Unexplained Incidents ------------------------------------------------ **READ FIRST BEFORE SENDING ANY UNEXPLAINED INCIDENTS!!! I am not accepting any more Unexplained Incidents. Please do not send me any more unless it is extremely weird and unique. Most of the ones I get are very similar and not worth posting. E-mail Unexplained Incidents to SonicR_FAQ@yahoo.com. You must follow these guidelines to submit to this section: (1) You must have a title for it. (2) You must type it word-for-word the way you would like it to appear in this section. We will not fix up your grammar or spelling mistakes. (3) You must state what version you have/were playing: Saturn or PC. You must also state what mode you were playing: Grand Prix, Time Attack, etc... (4) Please include your name and e-mail address. These will both be added after your section. Refer to the Incidents below and follow the format they are in. *Fallin' Through the City! (fell through Radical City)* -I have fallen through the Radical City track in the PC version. I was just running up the slope to the finish line in Time Attack mode and I fell through! I couldn't get back on, either. It was extremely weird. After I had explored for a while, I had to restart the level. -Segaholic2 *Ruin's Bridges are All Wet! (glitch in Regal Ruin's bridge)* -I noticed that in the PC version, when you run across the second bridge in Regal Ruin, the stone one, not the wooden ones, if you are going fast enough you will touch the water! It will make that "sploosh" sound. If you are rolling, you will straighten up and run. If you have either shield, it will disappear. -Segaholic2 *Work it out...of the track! (left the Reactive Factory course)* -I was racing in Grand Prix mode in Reactive Factory as Sonic, and as I was running up to the slope near the beginning of the track (the second right) and I just ran through the track! After bumping around a little, I found my way back on. This has happened again as Robotic Sonic. -Double -S- *So Long, Sphinx (leave the Regal Ruins racetrack)* -In the Regal Ruin Stage, (Arcade mode) if you use Amy Rose and collect about 32 rings, go to the accelerator. Right before you get on, hit the Turbo Boost. When you come to the curve, make a hard (and I mean HARD) left turn.Use both the LEFT and L DRIFT buttons. Amy Rose should race over the pillars and be floating on the water OUSIDE the track. But she returns if you go to the curve or touch the pillars again. -Aaron Max (aaronmax@hotmail.com) *"Stupid Mode" and Ghostly Race* -I have noticed that in the PC version after you have played and you return to the Title Screen, it will play demos of what you have raced. Pretty neat! However, it will also go into something I call "Stupid Mode", where the demo will go fine for a while, then your character will become obsessed with running through the wall. This happened to me once in Time Attack. I was racing my ghost, and I was winning, barely. Suddenly, in the map, I saw that my ghost was stuck trying to mash his head into the wall! I beat him according to what I saw on the map, but at the result screen, it said the Ghost had beat me! -Segaholic2 *The Disappearing Knuckles Act* Twice this happened, once to me and once to a friend. In "Tag" mode in Radiant Emerald as Sonic, I saw Knuckles bashing his head into the wall. This looked pretty funny. ;) As I ran up to him to tag him out, he suddenly disappeared! According the map he had run through the wall and was off the track in space. Later he reappeared at the same spot. -Double -S- *Someone Better Switch to Decaf (Sonic gone crazy)* -In the PC version I once wanted to see all the demo's, so I ran through them all, after the Reactive Factory It went back to the Resort Island, and Sonic was the one racing. At first everything was normal till Sonic went crazy. He just started to slam his head against the wall, took the 1st shortcut, and went backwards tried to jump on one of the houses, started slamming his head again, fell in the water, swam out of course, got back on course, tried to do a reverse lap, but he couldn't because he was still slamming his head into walls! He did so bad that the person in 4th cross-lapped him! -"skyboarder39" (skyboarder39@directlink.net) *Tag mode glitch (w/ knuckles) and other stuff* The same glitch where he's knocking into the wall happened to me once. I ran up to tag him (and did, he didn't run out into space), and he sat down like he usually does when he loses. Only when he sat down, he was still banging away at the wall. Also, if you time it right, in Radical city (or any other water-filled place), if you time it right, and jump while the character to be tagged tries to jump over the water, and you hit the character, the character will do the usual loss pose, however, they'll sink into the water... I did that to SOnic and Tails once, I think. If you time it right, you can actually tag Dr. Robotnik the old fashioned style (jumping and hitting him). All you have to do is catch up to him, and when you catch up to him and you're moving fast enough (use a jumping character for this), Jump at him. Your character will hit him, he'll be tagged, and your character will land. Sometimes the character is on it's feet after you do that, just ignore that usually. This makes the most sense with Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles doing it. -"FX Chip" (FxChiP@hotmail.com) *Head mash ghost (Mecha (ghost) Knuckles)* I was racing in the PC version as Super Sonic in(Radical City)GP mode when I saw Mecha Knuckles stuck trying to mash his head into the wall! I beat him but I saw him go through the wall. I would _Never_ be able to go through that wall myself. -Dominick Barrett (barrett1@gofree.indigo.ie) *Tail Power* I was just racing in Multi Player mode as Tails, in Reactive Factory and I stopped at the start of the black barrier and jumped then actually flew over the barrier out of course. I explored everything there was then I saw a passage out onto the main track. It didn't look like a barrier so I went that way. BUT!!!!!!. When I looked around what did I see? A barrier!!!! -Dominick Barrett(barrett1@gofree.indigo.ie) *Demo Glitch (w/ Knuckles)* One day I was waching the Resort Island demo and actually it was Knuckles racing,but he started off as normal and then he went COMPLETE CRAZY . I diden't have a clue what he was going to do,AND he got last. -Dominick Barrett(barrett1@gofree.indigo.ie) unexplained incident for PC (Puppet Tails) *Over the water and through the wall* In Regal Ruins stage in Time attack, as puppet tails, I went over the water and jumped through the last big curve before the Finish Line. I jumped into the part where the wall came out of the water, I just jumped into it! This happened 3 times. It's sorta like the See ya, Sphinx move. It's really wicked. ** -Ian Harris (iharris@k12.cbe.ab.ca) *Hyper hedgehog* One day i loaded up my saturn version of Sonic R and loaded my best file. Then i decided to see if i could beat my super sonic ghost on Radiant Emerald on time trail. i loaded up mecha knuckels and started. I glided alot and then i came to the part where there is a big spiral. So i glided on the right to shave valueable seconds. So i glided right up on the top part almost at the finish line like usual, Then i go up the purple ramp and i see sonic bashing his head. Then he went threw the wall. Then i start going threw and come to my final lap and see that sonic infront of me and he runs threw the 50 ring door. It shows him as warping across no the warp tile. Then i just meet him once he gets out. He does a quadruple jump and uses the old trick i did when gliding but he jumped.then it showed he won by 1 minute when he was really on lap 1. -James ryan (Starfox324@aol.com) ------------------------------------------------ 10. Cheats & TRICKs ------------------------------------------------ ************ * Cheats * ************ These are the cheats for both versions of the game. Saturn ------- Play With the "R"- At the Title Screen, press on the D-Pad to rotate the R in that direction. Press the B button to change the color of the R to a metallic outlook. Press X and Y to lighten or darken the R. Press the A button to restore the R to its former color. Clean Pause- While playing, pause the game and press X + Y + Z at the same time. Play as the Same Character- For two players to be the same person in Multi-Player Mode, hold down X + Y + Z and press A or C. The second player will be a darker color than the first player. Zoom- On the main screen, the character screen and most screens, push the L button to zoom in and the R button to zoom out. Skip the Credits- To skip the Credits, hold down X + Y + Z and press Start. PC ------- Play with the "R"- At the Title Screen, press the directional controls to rotate the R in that direction. Press the Change View button to change its color. Instant Demo- To get to the demo faster, press Action and Accelerate at the same time. You can also skip the SEGA and Traveller's Tales screens this way. Play as the Same Character- For everyone to be the same person in Multi-Player Mode, hold down the Change View button and press Action. This will work for all four players. Zoom- To check out the track's picture closer up or farther away, press Up and Down to zoom in and out at the Course Select Screen. This only works on the Track Select screen. Skip the Credits- To skip the Credits, hold down the Action, Accelerate, and Change View buttons and press Start. ************ * TRICKs * ************ Here are some various TRICKs. TRICK: Not really a trick, but still effective, especially if you want to accustom yourself to the game first. Set the difficulty level in the options to "Easy". TRICK: Turbo at the start of a race (only if using Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles). TRICK: To steal the Purple Chaos Emerald in Radical City, go on with the race. You MUST be Sonic to do this trick. When you come to the 50- Ring Entry door that you usually open to get the Emerald, keep to the right and go on. Do *NOT* enter the pinball area. Make your way to the 90 degree right turn and stop. Rotate left until you are facing a wall. You can see a platform coming out from above. Double-Jump (see Section [5]: Controls) onto the platform. To do this, stand still, Double-Jump, and press Accelerate in the air. Run forward a bit to get the Emerald, then turn around and continue with the race. Be sure to finish in first place! TRICK: In Reactive Factory you can skip the big spring-jump before the loop by controlling Puppet Tails and hovering over it (see Chapter 5: Controls). Turn sharp right and continue the race. This can also be performed by all other characters, by hitting the spring and turning right. TRICK: Instant Rings In Reactive Factory, stay on the main track until you see a funny big gadget on the left. Go in front of this and rings will pour out of the little black hole in it! -Submitted by Ian Harris (iharris@k12.cbe.ab.ca) TRICK: (PC) For major Water shortcuts you can set the weather to SNOW in the options menu. In all levels with water, you can cross over bodies of water because they are ice. -Submitted by Ian Harris (iharris@k12.cbe.ab.ca) TRICK: Skip half the track with Super Sonic! Select Time Attack, then choose reverse, then select Super Sonic as your character and choose Radical City as your track. Just run along at top speed until you reach the part of the track where it faces the tower, but the track isn't connected to it. Race at top speed towards the tower and just before the track starts dropping downwards, use the double-jump to blast yourself to the part of the side of the tower where the track should be and BAM! You'll go through the wall and onto the track and wind up with the finish line to your right and a total lap time of (usually) under 30 seconds! -Submitted by Nathan Boes (nathan_elfknight@yahoo.com) ------------------------------------------------ 11. PC Saves ------------------------------------------------ Having trouble getting hidden characters? Just dying to see Radiant Emerald? Well, if you have the PC version of the game, you can just e-mail this FAQ's e-mail address (SonicR_FAQ@yahoo.com) and ask for a "custom-built PC Sonic R save"! Just tell me what you want, and as soon as we can, we'll mail you a 2.16kb save file to YOUR inbox! All you've got to tell us is: Characters: Which ones you want! Choose any combo of: Dr. Robotnik, Robotic Sonic, Puppet Tails, Cyber Knuckles, and Egg- Robo Chaos Emeralds: Heh. No duh you'll want all of them. Just tell me and you'll soon have 7 pretty, shiny Emeralds in your save file! Perfect for showing off to your friends! Tracks: If you want Radiant Emerald open or not. (NOTE: If you choose Dr. Robotnik as one of your characters, Radiant Emerald will automa- tically be opened) INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING SONIC R PC SAVES: I am getting tired of typing how to use these saves in every single re- quest I've gotten. So I am including the instructions here; read them NOW, and don't bug me later. To use the save, download the file into directory C:\Sega\SonicR\save. If you installed Sonic R into a different directory, copy the save file into the "save" folder in your "SonicR" folder. Make sure you replace the previous save file with the new one if you have one named the same thing as the one I sent you. Start the game (make sure you've got the CD in) and go to Options on the far right. Select the Option "Load/Save Data" and find the file I sent you. Hit your Action Button and select "Load". Hit "Yes" to the "Overwrite data?" message. Hit Back to get back to the main menu. Select your race mode and have fun! ------------------------------------------------ 12.

Contact Information ------------------------------------------------ I (Segaholic2) am getting WAAAAAY too much e-mail concerning Sonic R saves, incidents, TRICKs, etc... in my regular mailbox, so I have opened up an e-mail address strictly for this FAQ. E-mail anything concerning Sonic R to this address: SonicR_FAQ@yahoo.com. Me and Double –S- will be checking this address about once a week, or as often as possible. Keep this in mind when e-mailing us, and please be patient if you don't get a reply immediately. We try to read and re- spond to every single e-mail we receive, and this can take a while. If you would just like to contact the creators of this FAQ, then e-mail them at segaholic2@yahoo.com (Segaholic2) or stkrule@yahoo.com (Double -S-). No Sonic R questions at these addresses, please. ------------------------------------------------ 14. Credits ------------------------------------------------ These are the guys who worked on/helped with this FAQ. Segaholic2 did all of the typing and work on this section, except for Double -S-'s section. Nathan "Segaholic2" Tsui- E-Mail: segaholic2@yahoo.com AOL Instant Messenger: Segaholic2 ICQ#: 76164803 I am the guy who did a lot of the typing and most of the research for this FAQ. The game is also mine, and I'm the expert at it. I can kick anyone's butt at this game! I have also written several FAQs and reviews, which can be found at GameFAQs.com under the name "NTsui". Sonic the Hedgehog is my fav videogame character! I have been playing videogames since Super Mario Bros. on the original NES. I saw videogames merely as entertainment, something to hold your interest for a while. I never really saw videogames as fun. The first time I met with Sonic was in June of 1991, a couple weeks after Sonic the Hedgehog for Genesis was released. I was six years old. Me and my bro were at the new Best Buy near our house, and there were two displays available to play: a Super Nintendo with a helicopter game, and a Sega Genesis with Sonic the Hedgehog. I ignored the Super Nintendo and watched with awe as an older boy played Sonic. When he left, I didn't dare touch the controller, and was content to just watch the demo run. The graphics and speed amazed me, since I was used to Mario's slow (and sometimes tedious) gameplay. I remember asking my brother, "Isn't Sonic cooler than Mario?" He just nodded. Jason "Double -S-" Tsui- E-mail: stkrule@yahoo.com I also typed a lot in this FAQ. We (Segaholic2 & Double -S-) played this game hundreds of times and have beat it as every character. I can beat anyone at this game, except Segaholic2. I did the ASCII title, except for the sparkles. I like Tails a lot for no good reason. BTW, my new 'nick stands for Super Sonic (2 "S"s, hence "Double -S-"). The Honorable Queen Laine- (SmartLaine@aol.com) She is the one who provided the controls for the Saturn version of this game. Thanx for the big help, Laine! Kedzie K- (http://www.sonicfoundation.org) Thanx to the Message Board on his website: The Sonic Foundation (tSf), I was able to get the Saturn controls from Laine! He also let me submit this FAQ to his most-excellent website. Check it out if you are a Sonic fan like me (Segaholic2)! Even if you aren't, check it out anyway! I know I visit his site *very* frequently! The Westenhovers- Thanx to the whole family for letting us stay at their house when our parents went out of town! Also, thanx for letting us use their computer to finish up the last bits of this FAQ, since theirs has more RAM (?), and ours has a problem with typing *.txt documents that get over around 35 kilobytes. As you would know if you have read the Special Thanks section in my (Segaholic2) "Complete Guide to Kirby's Dream Land 3" at GameFAQs.com (see below). Also for letting us PLAY their computer! >;) GameFAQs- (http://www.gamefaqs.com) This is the *BEST* website for FAQs and walkthroughs on the 'net. You'll find the latest versions of this and other FAQs by Segaholic2 here first. Look for FAQs and reviews written by "NTsui". Secrets of the GameSages- (http://sages.ign.com) This is the *BEST* website for cheats and tricks on the 'net. Thanx for the Sega Saturn Sonic R cheats! More thanx to all the people that submitted those codes to that website! All our friends- Just for being our friends! Thanx to SnaKKer for some ideas on this FAQ and for being my (Segaholic2) web-buddy! Thanx to all our other friends! You and I know who you are! ------------------------------------------------ 15.
