Sonic R/Characters

Starting Characters
===Sonic the hedgehog

Amy Rose
She is one of the four starting characters. Like Dr. Robotnik/Eggman she rides in a vehicle and cannot jump. Amy makes up for a jump by having a boost feature in her car. The boost only lasts for a few seconds, and it will come back after a few seconds, so you will not be without a boost for long. Amy is very slow, but has excellent handling, while boosting she gets speed, but loses handling.

Unlockable Characters
Most unlockable characters are earned by collecting every coin on a course and then beating it. Dr. Robotnik/Dr. Eggman and Super Sonic are the exceptions.

Super Sonic has the best stats among the other characters in the game, he has the best speed, best acceleration, and best handling in the game. If you race as him, most likely you will win. If you are racing against him, prepare for a challenge. Like Sonic, Super Sonic can also double jump, to help him win. Super Sonic can also jump on water, and stand on water for a few seconds, as he slowly sinks into the deep.
