Earlier today, I felt like playing this game again. However, I couldn't find my memory card with all of my data. So, I'm going to make a guide for each level, showing where all of the Sonic coins are and Emeralds.
This is the Nintendo Gamecube version of Sonic R played on Sonic Gems Collection.
Resort Island is a pretty easy level for the first. A lot of people don't think the music goes well with this stage. But, I think it's alright.
Coin #1: 1:23, go up on top of the rock near the beginning of the level.
Coin #2: 1:39, make sure you go past the palm tree and the sign turning right. Jump onto the short island to get the coin.
Coin #3: 1:50, before clearing the first lap, go through the left path, go up to the hill to get the coin.
Coin #4: 2:04, past the first rock and coin is a second rock on the left. Go through it to get the coin.
Coin #5: 2:10, right pass the second rock and coin, is a door that cost 20 rings that you would need to open. Once opened, go through it and you'll get the last coin.
Chaos Emerald #1: Right past the second coin that you get in this video, you will see a door that cost 50 rings to open. Once open, you will get the first Emerald, which is blue. :P Note, that you will have to come in first place to keep the Emerald.
Once you've collected all 5 coins in this stage, you will race against Metal Sonic. Winning against Metal Sonic will unlock him. He is pretty good character. He can stay above water for a couple of seconds, and is the 3rd fastest character in the game.
Enjoy, and look out for the next level, Radical City. Also, another quality test.
