![]() ![]() Building the tension before a jump will allow the player to perform more tricks before landing. After going off ramps, players can perform various tricks, which refill the air gauge according to their rating. If a player runs out of air, their character will start running, putting them at several disadvantages they can't boost, attack, corner easily or use charged jumps. These include cornering, which involves using the air as a sideways force against the board, allowing the player to round sharp turns with ease, and building tension before a jump, which involves using the air to propel the player higher off of ramps. It is also depleted faster by certain maneuvers. Air serves as the fuel for Extreme Gear, and is depleted gradually as the race goes on. A key component of the game is the air tank, displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. ![]() Each individual character has different statistics, altering their performance slightly in races. Players must race seven other competitors on a total of 16 tracks, 9 of which must be unlocked through progress in the story mode, and two of which must be unlocked by winning Gold in each World Grand Prix (1 track per Grand Prix). The game is played in its entirety using hover boards, which function largely like skateboards. He was voiced by Madeleine Blaustein in English. He is also one of the very few final bosses not to be defeated by Super Sonic. He is defeated by Sonic at the end of the Babylon Story. ![]() He is the final and only "boss" of Sonic Riders. He regards those who seek treasure as greedy, and he is hidden behind a large door in Babylon Garden (the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in Japan). The treasure he was protecting was revealed to be a "magic carpet" which was actually a prototype Extreme Gear created by the ancient Babylonians. He is also referred to as "the guardian god of Babylon" when choosing his stage, called simply "Babylon Guardian". He is a genie in a bottle, and resembles a large purple hawk who guards the treasure of Babylon. The "Babylon Guardian" (called Angelus the Gatekeeper in Japan) is a fictional character from Sonic Riders. They are later discovered to be a group of outlaws, called "The Babylon Rogues". Three racers are shown on the screen, and Sonic recognized them as the three mysterious riders they had encountered the night before. He also states that all entrants must pay a fee of one Chaos Emerald, and that "the winner takes all!" It is unclear whether or not he means that the winner will receive all seven Emeralds or not. The next day, Sonic's arch-nemesis, Doctor Eggman, appears on a giant screen in the city, and announces to the public that he is holding the EX World Grand Prix, in which racers will compete on Extreme Gear (the hoverboards used by the three previously encountered riders) to claim the title of champion. Sonic is thrown off his board, and the three mysterious riders disappears into the distance. He quickly catches up with the lead rider, but is outmaneuvered. He catches up with one of the riders, knocks him off his board, and hops on it. The trio realize that the Emerald's signal is coming from one of the three riders. At that point, three mysterious riders on hoverboards smash through a nearby sign, and drop into the highway below. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are walking across a bridge in Future City, searching once again for the Chaos Emeralds, when Tails' radar goes off. The game includes cameos from three other famous Sega characters. This was the last Sonic the Hedgehog game for the Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft Xbox, though not for the PS2. A sequel to Sonic Riders, entitled Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, was released in 2008 for the Wii and PlayStation 2. ![]() This game introduces five new playable characters, the Babylon Rogues and the E-10000 series. This stopped after the Xbox version failed to sell well. For a short while, also to celebrate the anniversary, the Microsoft Xbox version of the game was released with a free Sonic X DVD, which contained five episodes from the first and second seasons. The game was released to start off the 15th anniversary of the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is the fourth racing game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, preceded by Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2 and Sonic R.
