Radical City is the second course made available for play in Sonic R.
Contents
Overview
It is a large city with many streets and a highway as well as tall urban buildings, and a river that passes through the city. This river is crossed twice when following the main path, though characters with a Water Shield or an ability to hover over water can follow this river for a shortcut. The track eventually leads to a casino area with the giant pinball table being its highlight. Of the default courses available at the beginning, this is so far the longest.
This course contains two Chaos Emeralds, and collecting all five Sonic Tokens (and finishing in the top three) will allow the player to race against and unlock the Tails Doll. The music that plays in this course is "Living in the City".
Quotes
“ | This course is plenty wide. Gaps in the railing aren't just accidental breaks! Waterways look like slow going at first, but they can save you some time if you know which turns to take. And speaking of turns, there are a couple of tight ones to add to your fun. Ever wondered what it would be like to be a pinball? | „ |
