This is one of the good Sonic games, honestly
This was one of the very first Sonic games I bought on my Sega Saturn and LOVED it. It's a good Sonic game, and good racing game. It doesn't have too many weird Sonic characters, the racing is tight and fast, you could spend hours unlocking the hidden characters, it has pretty good graphics for the time era. There are speed boosts on the track, Tails can fly, you can unlock Dr. Robotnik (Eggman) and other faster forms of Sonic. Even as a racing game it's fun against the computer or multiplayer. I would recommend this game.
