If it's a Gamer's Edition, I'm really not surprised at all.

Who was the first guy who thought it was a good idea to put "R" in the title of anything? What, you couldn't fit "Race" on the box (if that is what it stands for)? And like Sonic R is so indimidating anyway... you can beat it in an hour.

Oh lord. I almost forgot about the Tails Doll. That thing made me feel empty on the inside.
No! I don't want that!

Actually Sonic R didn't have anything to do with the change in name to Mario Kart 64. R is just a suffix Japanese guys like to put on racing games and it was the prototype title for MK64.
That was a joke.
