Sonic R is a singleplayer and multiplayer third-person racing game developed by Traveller's Tales and Sonic Team.
Some reprints of the game are missing the music.
Availability

---|---|---|---|---|
Retail | Network play is the only mode that doesn't require the disc. |
- A demo is available.
Essential improvements
- Supports networked multiplayer if .exe file is replaced with the officially-released network version of the game. This version includes all content found in the original release and is hex-edited to work on modern versions of Windows.
- Hex-edited version of the original .exe also exists for those who are interested.
- DXWnd (OG Edition) is required for the game to recognize input devices on modern versions of Windows. "Hook DirectDraw", "Fullscreen", and "Hook DirectInput" must be enabled within the program for the game to work.
Sonic R Updater
- Upgrades the game to its limited 2004 re-release, improves compatibility with modern Windows systems, adds mod support through the Sonic R Mod Loader, with many other enhancements and features included.
- Network Mode is lost as a result of the 2004 re-release almost completely losing this feature.
