*A PlayStation 2 version was released in Japan and Europe, but the US version was never released for unknown reasons. The PS2 version is also region-locked so that it plays the original soundtrack of ''Sonic the Hedgehog CD'' on a Japanese system; if it detects another region (even European), it defaults to the American soundtrack, and there is no in-game music selection. This is not the case for the GameCube release, which may have been done to save space. However, the version of ''Sonic R'' in the GCN release supports four-players, which was reduced to two on PS2.
