Description The Sonic Riders series, its on of the best spinoffs that they made for Sonic. The game introduced us to a new experience and new story of Sonic using these hoverboards called Extreme Gears while also racing against each other. The series also introduced new characters like Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow, and Storm the Albatross. They are known as Babylon Rouge, think of them as an alternative version of Team Sonic. The game is a racing game with areas that are like in a futuristic environment. Also, if you think about Sonic Heroes, it has Speed types, Power types, and Flight types. There are three titles, Sonic Riders, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, and Sonic Free Riders. The first two games also you to play as other Sega characters but the game also allows you to use different Extreme Gears such as Board, Bike, and Skate, to which happened to come over in the second game but adding new ones such as Air Ride, Yacht, and Wheel.

Sonic Riders gives you the other Sonic characters like Amy, Cream, Eggman, Rouge, and Shadow. But they give you other Sega IPS like, AiAi, NiGHTS, and Ulala. You also get to play as the new E-Series robots from Eggman, E-10000R and E-10000G.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity gives you the same Sonic characters but new ones included Silver and Blaze. Other Sega IPS are the same and new like NiGHTS but new ones are Billy Hatcher and Amigo and get to play two new robots SCR-GP and SCR-HD.

Sonic Free Riders still gives you the same characters but the only difference is no Sega IPS, new characters like Vector, E-10000G and E-10000B were the new characters.

Super Sonic can be unlockable in all of the games so you can play as Super Sonic to race.

Speed Types are of course fast but they are the only ones who can grind on rails in the tracks. Power Types are the strong types who can break through walls and obstacles that are in there way. Flight Types can fly through the air using the Dash Rings across the tracks.

2006 was the first introducing to the game, it has a story mode to which they connect to the final story which was one night in Future City, Jet stole a the missing Chaos Emerald that Eggman mentioned to him. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles saw these figures running away with the Emerald so they had to stop them, Sonic was able to take Storm's Extreme Gear thanks to Knuckles, he was able to catch up to Jet but lost and ran off . Two of the stories are either Team Sonic or Team Babylon, each having their own story but different levels to pass through until you reach to the final story.

2008, a few years later brought Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. Same characters, new story.Β Sonic discovers a legend regarding an artifact known as the "Ark of the Cosmos", an item that can take matter and use it to control gravity. However, the Babylon Rogues, Sonic's well-known rivals, are also after the legendary artifact. This sets off a war over who gets the artifact, now leading them to settle their dispute by having an Extreme Gear competition. The Ark of the Cosmos allows you to control gravity to which in each course, you can use it to make hard turns or to gain extra speed to pass through the racers. Just like the last game, it has a story mode to complete, it's a the same things, Team Sonic and Team Babylon, each with a different story that relates to each other and new courses.

2010, the third game after two years, Sonic Free Riders was an only exclusive Xbox 360 game which allows motion controls which was know as the Kinect. This game takes another turn with the courses and story.Β The plot starts with Dr. Eggman who hosts a second World Grand Prix. However in the announcement, he seems to disguise himself as King Doc, hiding himself from revealing his true identity. This time, four teams enter to prove themselves to be the best or win the prizes: Team Sonic, Team Babylon, Team Rose, and Team Dark. This was also the introducing of the new actors, Colleen came in after Sonic Lost World, Kate Higgins was the new Tails at the time. But each team races each other in different amount of courses to which all the stories relate to each other until the final story.

Some of the games did better than others and a little mixed on the last installment but overall, I still recognized the series and I'm hoping to see another title in the future cause these games are fun, I've only played Riders and Zero Gravity, Free Riders, no, because I didn't had a 360 at the time but I watched videos of the game and story. I never beat the first game cause I was stuck on the second to last level with Jet and I gave up, Zero Gravity, I sort of beat it but it was my older brother who beat it but still had fun, if Free Riders was on other consoles and didn't had the motion controls, it would of been fun. In my opinion, I love Free Riders Extreme Gear, I think it has the best design out of the other two. I love the designs they gave the character, so if you go into Sonic Riders, like looking it up on the internet, you can find the development concept arts of them before the final design, including each characters. They are amazing and if you remember the intro to Sonic Riders, it was suppose to be the normal Sonic Channel, Advance, Adventure whatever art style.

I could of added Jet to the pictures but I was too lazy to do it and it would take too much of my time. So, I made all three cover images of the art of Sonic. I started from Free Riders to Riders, I worked hard on them for the past few days.

You'll find the sprites on the Art References Poses.

"Sonic Speed Riders" "Un-gravitfy" "Free"

Enjoy!
