[edit] Help

I need help. I loaded the game and I set up everything but when I start it up it won't let me play Grand Prix, or anything except for options. The other icons other than options just have an X over them. I'm using windows XP and I want to know if I have to do some extra something before I can start playing.

[edit] the R stands for racing

Who said that the R stands for racing? Gerard Foley 17:23, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Um...what else could it stand for? Ravioli? RememberMe? 15:17, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Racing? Rush? Rage? Or for those who cant handle the heat, Retire?

[edit] Not a difficult game

This page seems to make the game sound difficult in the Super Sonic section, it's really not that difficult though.

[edit] Length of game??

I've heard and agree with several statements saying that the game's biggest flaw is that it is simply "too short" due to having only five tracks that can be completed within 3 minutes each. Can we put this in somehow? E Liquere 01:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Only game Metal Knuckles is in?

Under the trivia section of this article, it says "Sonic R is Metal Knuckle's only appearance."

Wasn't Metal Knuckles also in Sonic Advance as the boss of Angel Island Zone?

We're not sure if that's Metal Knuckles or some other Knux-shaped robot, so it's probable, but we can't be sure yet. RememberMe? 15:16, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

They seem like totally different characters to me, and looking all the Sonic-based robots, it wouldn't suprise me if they were, not to mention the only appearance of other characters, like Tails Doll. DanPMK 04:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

If nobody is 100% sure whether they are or aren't the same character, perhaps that piece of info should be removed from the article?

As I recall, they are two seperate robots. Often times, Sonicteam will write the official strategy guide for their games in Japan; in the official strategy guide for Sonic Advance, they refer to it as "Mecha Knuckles", indicating a slight difference between "Metal Knuckles" in this game (just as there is a slight difference between "Metal Sonic" (Sonic CD) and "Mecha Sonic" (Sonic & Knuckles)).

[edit] Networking patch

I remember that the PC version of SonicR required a network patch to be able to play multiplayer across a network. Does anyone know where to get it? (it's very hard to find!). I think that a link to the patch should be added to the article --220.245.145.19 14:06, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

That patch does not work for Windows XP, and I can't seem to find the link to it. DanPMK 21:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

See, I told you it was hard-to-find ;) --220.245.145.19 02:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I found the networking patch! After looking on all different sites, I finally found it on SEGA.com! :P. I'll edit the article to point to it. --Daniel15 06:51, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV hell

The bit about the soundtrack was poorly written and I was obliged to remove a sentence or two. Bad singing? Cheesy lyrics? These terms don't belong in a Wiki! - PhakeDC
