      Sonic R history is actually pretty interesting and makes sense of what the game intended to be before becoming a Sonic game. ;) Then you'd understand why there are 2 types of turning in a running game, which mostly gets lost to most consumers, but when you know how to use the two types simultaneously, it all makes sense! ;)

    I find this music incredibly nostalgic, it often reminds me of times past. Whenever I hear it, I feel happy, though like something is missing. I thought I was disappointed because I couldn't go back in time.
    But lately, I've been thinking about writing music, so now I understand. This song wasn't trying to drag me back to memory lane, it was trying to push me forward, so that one day I may create art just as beautiful as it.

    This brings back so many memories. I would play the hell out of this game on the Saturn. I was hooked to it (it had its bugs but damnit, I had so much fun unlocking all the characters and just jamming to the music) so when my house burnt down after my mother died (six month before it) somehow my small stack of Saturn games were elsewhere but out of the pile two were gone and I honestly wasn't surprised.
    Shining the Holy Ark (was totally living in the Saturn. That was my JRPG for life, still is) and Sonic R was in my old CD player (never took that out either) so needless to say when I saw the empty cases I had a good laugh. I still haven't got Sonic R back but one day I'll get the disk and play it again.
    Still one of the best OSTs for any game. I hum the songs so many times over the years. Definitely a great pick-me-up when you need it as well.
