History VideoGame / SonicR

** The Tails Doll. A profile of him at the Sonic Channel website states that after creating Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles, Eggman didn't really put any effort in creating him. It's just a doll that can float around. [[TheDreaded The fans think differently, though.]]

** Among the starting characters, Amy is this. She is the slowest character in the game who lacks the ability to jump since she drives a car instead of running on her feet. Her only saving grace is her ability to driver over water without losing speed, decent acceleration and good turning, and a rechargeable Nitro Boost ability that allows her to go top speed for a few seconds.

** Egg Robo is essentially a clone of the already slow and hard to maneuver Dr Eggman albeit lacking the ability to perpetually hover (he does so for a brief amount of time before gradually grinding to a halt and sinking, which is arguably more of a hindrance than those that just sink by default.

This game is also notable for being the last ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' game to use the "classic" designs for all the characters, and is the only fully-3D console game to do so (''Sonic Jam'' had only a small section in 3D).

* CanonForeigner: Tails Doll and Metal Knuckles never reappear in any other game. Metal Knuckles got an {{expy}} in ''VideoGame/SonicAdvanceTrilogy'' and the Tails Doll recently appeared in the Archie ''Sonic'' comic.
