Sonic R is a 1997 racing video game developed by Traveller's Tales and Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Saturn, and re-released for Microsoft Windows in 1998. It was re-released for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube as part of the Sonic Gems Collection in 2005. The player takes control of one of ten Sonic series characters and participate in races on various Sonic-themed race tracks. The story focuses the characters' efforts to win a series of races and prevent Doctor Robotnik from stealing the Chaos Emeralds and enslaving the world.
Sonic R is the third Sonic racing game, and the first in 3D. It is the second Sonic game co-developed by Traveller's Tales and Sonic Team, taking nine months, and was designed to take advantage of the Saturn's hardware. The game's soundtrack was composed by Richard Jacques, featuring vocals by TJ Davis; tracks from the game, most notably "Super Sonic Racing", have been reused in subsequent Sonic titles.
The game was praised by critics for its visuals, but was criticised for its poor game controls and short length. Sonic R is the only original Sonic game to be released on the Sega Saturn; Sonic 3D Blast is a port of the Genesis title, and Sonic Jam is a compilation of the first four Sonic games.
