(Translation) Sonic R

Sonic R

Every single time, after a deadly battle with Dr. Eggman…

Sonic and Tails, who admired him, continued their carefree adventurous journeys together. In the middle of a journey was when they stopped by a city.

Projected on a huge screen on a building before the two’s eyes was a commercial saying, “Recruitment for players to participate in the World Grand Prix!”
“Sonic, Sonic!! It’s a ‘Racing Tournament to Decide the Fastest Racer in the World!!’” Tails had a keen interest in this. “Hey, Sonic, let’s compete. Sonic is sure to win the championship with no mistakes! I wanna test my strength as well!!”
“A race… I’m not very interested.” Sonic didn’t look very enthusiastic. But, at the time they tried to leave that place, Sonic’s eyes were now glued to the switched screen. Then…
“Let’s participate, Tails!!” As soon as he said this, Sonic was already running.
“Wait up, Sonic!!” Tails hurriedly chased after him.

An image had changed Sonic’s mind… There, projected in writing, was “Participating: Dr. Eggman”.

At that time… Floating in the sky far from the ground was a spy satellite. There was a man who was using this satellite to scout Sonic and Tails from beginning to end.
His name: Dr. Eggman.
He was an evil genius scientist who had challenged Sonic many times in the past.
Well, he had never been able to beat Sonic once…

“DAAAH HAH HAH HAH HAH… That Sonic, I’ve caught him in my trap. I’ve already investigated that the Chaos Emeralds are resting somewhere at this race venue!! If that fellow happens to accidentally discover the Chaos Emeralds during the race, it’ll save me the trouble of finding them."
As usual, Dr. Eggman was all talk as he thought this.
“When those guys gather the Chaos Emeralds, I’ll seize them all together!! Although, it doesn't matter if it's Sonic, he won’t stand a chance even if I take a chance to attack during the race. Besides, I’m not going to neglect preparing my secret weapons this time…” Eggman turned around while muttering.
Beyond his line of sight, the eyes of several cold silhouettes shone creepily in the dim light…
“Kuh kuh kuh… A perfect strategy, if I do say so myself. Finally, finally, my long-held dream; the time has come for world domination to become a reality!! DAAAH HAH HAH HAH HAH…”

The “World Grand Prix Participant Recruitment” commercial was broadcasted all over the world.
It wasn’t just Sonic and Tails who saw the news for this race.
There was Sonic’s good rival Knuckles.
“Sonic!! I’ll truly settle things with you at this World Grand Prix!!”
And the girl who was in love with Sonic: Amy.
“That gentleman is sure to participate in this race… Please wait for me, Mr. Soniiic.”

Sure enough, can Sonic thwart Dr. Eggman’s ambitions?
And the outcome of the World Grand Prix?

Now, finally, the curtain raises on the “World Grand Prix”!!
Who on earth will get their hands on the garland for the “Fastest Guy in the World”!?


~Profiles~
~Sonic the Hedgehog~
The familiar hero: Sonic, the hedgehog at the speed of sound. His maximum speed is the highest among all the characters, but his acceleration ability and grip ability on corners seem to be a little inferior. His special actions: his spinning movement while running and his dash start with a Spin Dash. He can also do a 2-step jump, letting him fly over even big obstacles.

~Miles “Tails” Prower~
He looks up to Sonic, this energetic fox with two tails. His maximum speed is insufficient, but his other abilities are pretty good. His special actions: he can use the same spin movement and Spin Dash as Sonic, and can also fly by turning his two tails into a propeller.

~Knuckles the Echidna~
An echidna who is Sonic’s good rival. Well balanced in all abilities. His special actions: he can use the same spin movement and Spin Dash as Sonic. Also, he can glide like a glider from high places and fly in the sky.

~Amy Rose~
She fell in love with Sonic, the only female character in this game. Amy rides her car and challenges this race. Her maximum speed is not high, but this is a character for beginners because of her good acceleration. Her special actions: water running and a turbo dash unique to her automobile.

~Dr. Eggman~
He plots to conquer the world, the evil genius scientist. He appears on a machine that is a modified version of his beloved aircraft, the Egg Mobile. Although its turning ability is a very high-level characteristic, his grip ability is quite low. His special actions: water running and homing bombs that hinder their locked-on opponents.
