This game single-handedly got me into trance music and it's still my favorite all these years later

I wouldn't really call the music in Sonic R trance. It's more eurodance/pop then anything.

It stands for roly-poly, a subtle reference to the way Sonic curls up into a ball to roll around.

Yeah I meant that it paved the way for me to like trance. Once I found out that there was a whole genre of high energy music like in Sonic R but more professional/less cheesy and meant to be danced to at live raves, I was all in

To this day I still run outside to Sonic R music like a kid with autism in 1997

The euro club music scene around then was pretty damn cool. Very different to somewhere like America.
It's why things like the JP Sonic CD OST was left in the EU version because they knew they'd be more magnetized to it.

Nothing. It's just a convention of japanese IPs to add letters at the end of the name when it comes to new iterations, or side-stories and such.
Think Dragon Ball Z, Robot Keiji K, Sailor Moon R

Everyone in latin america thought it was for Riny (chibiusa's name in the latin dub). But nah, it doesn't have any specific meaning, it's just something Toei Animation did to differentiate different seasons. The manga was always just Sailor Moon, much like Dragon Ball.

Z stands for zoku, continuation

>>6997726
no it doesn't. DBZ was just called Dragon Ball in the manga printing; 'Zetto' was adopted for one volume which was the first after the timeskip, but the manga was running continuously and the Z volume wasn't a continuation of anything. After that one volume the manga continued as Dragon Ball
The anime took Dragon Ball Z and made it the running name of the second series so that they could demand a larger budget. That's literally it, there's no more logic to it than that.
