Air is also more quickly spent using techniques like cornering, which allows 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. If a player boosts into an opponent, their character will attack and stun the opponent for a brief period. Characters can also perform a Boost, which will give them a sudden burst of speed at the cost of a significant amount of air. Air serves as the fuel for Extreme Gear, and is depleted gradually as the race goes on. A key component of gameplay is the air tank, displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Each race features up to eight characters competing. Players compete to finish three laps around a racetrack before their opponents and complete the race in first place. Sonic Riders is based around characters racing each other using devices known as "Extreme Gear", anti-gravity-equipped vehicles consisting of hover boards, hover skates, and hover bikes. Despite the mixed reviews, two sequels, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity (2008) and Sonic Free Riders (2010), were developed and released. Overall, they deemed it a lackluster game-both within the Sonic franchise and the racing game medium-that had its highlights but ultimately fell to its shortcomings. Reviewers were critical of its sloppy gameplay, loose controls, and inconsistent design some praise was directed at the visual style and the sense of speed while racing. Sonic Riders was released to mixed reviews, although it did sell well and was branded under the GameCube and PlayStation 2 bestseller lines. Sonic Riders was also the last Sonic title produced with the involvement of Yuji Naka, who left Sega shortly after its release.
It was designed to appeal to fans of Sonic and extreme sports video games the development team did not take inspiration from any prior games. Sonic Team wanted to make their own game that was superior to any previous Sonic racing game. The game was produced in commemoration of the Sonic series' 15th anniversary and was the first Sonic racing game since the 1997 Traveller's Tales game Sonic R.
It was released in Europe the following month and for Microsoft Windows at the end of the year. It was developed by Sonic Team and Now Production, published by Sega, and released worldwide in February 2006 in Japan and North America.
In the game's 16 tracks, the player competes against characters-either controlled by computers or other players-in story and battle modes. Sonic Riders is a 2006 racing video game for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox in which the player controls characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog series on hoverboards.
