Essential improvements
Sonic R Updater
- Upgrades the game to its rare 2004 re-release, fixes compatibility issues with modern Windows systems, removes the disc check, adds modding support thanks to Sonic R Mod Loader, custom resolutions and widescreen support, windowed/borderless fullscreen modes, and loading music from the installation folder instead of the disc.
- Network Mode is lost as a result of the 2004 re-release almost completely losing this feature.

Featured Mods:
- Some of the featured mods are included with Sonic R Updater.
- RemoveStrays - A fix for various graphical bugs tied to how the game maps textures for the UI.
- Widescreen Assets - Readjusts and crops the original 4:3 GUI assets to properly fit in 16:9 instead of stretching them. This also fixes banner in menus so they don't abruptly cut off when playing in widescreen.
- Resort Island Fix - Fixes out-of-place floormaps of Resort Island.
- Sega Saturn Style Colors - A mod that fixes and restores vertex colors. This makes the game look more lively and colorful than it did before. Additionally it makes Radiant Emerald translucent like its Saturn counterpart.
- Gems Collection Textures - Ports over the textures featured in the Sonic Gems Collection version of the game.
- ADX Music - A mod to use more efficient looping ADX format audio for music instead, opting for improved version of tracks from the Sega Saturn version in some cases.
- Music R - A mod that changes most if not all of the music in the game.
- Gentle Ring Sound - Replaces the loud and grating stock ring pick-up sound effect from the 2004 version that can cause audio clipping issues with a softer, sound-balanced one.
- Improved SFX - A sound effects enhancement mod that replaces the default sound effects with higher quality ones.
- Sonic 3D Blast Sounds - Replaces the default sound effects with ones from the Sega Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast.
