Sonic R (Saturn) Japanese Packaging / Box Art Translation

Sonic R (Saturn) (12.4.97)

One of my guilty pleasures, Sonic R suffered from some atrocious controls, but racing to the bizarrely upbeat Richard Jacques soundtrack is an experience unlike anything else. Translation note: 鬼ごっこ (Oni Make-Believe) is the Japanese equivalent to 'Playing Tag' in the west.
