Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity/Characters

Sonic the Hedgehog
It's everyone's favorite blue hedgehog, Sonic! A lover of freedom with zero tolerance for evildoers, this hedgehog is always doing his best to help those in need. Once again, Sonic jumps back on board as he races to try and solve the mystery behind the MeteorTech Robot Rampage along with his good friends, Tails and Knuckles.

The Blue Blur is unlocked by default. As with most other speed-type characters, Sonic specializes in top speed, while his weaker areas are in acceleration and off-road durability. The gear he uses is called the Blue Star, manufactured by Robotnik Corp. as a mens speed-type vehicle and redesigned by Tails.

Knuckles the Echidna
Knuckles has been a long time friend and rival of Sonic's ever since they first met back on Angel Island. He seems to spend most of his time either guarding the Master Emerald, or tracking down the pieces of it. If he's not doing either of those things, he's hanging out with Sonic and Tails or treasure hunting. Said to be as strong as Sonic is fast, he brings his aggressive style of riding to the race.

Rad Red is available from the outset. He can handle the roughest of terrain easily and has a fairly high speed, but doesn't corner well. Knuckles's gear is called the Red Rock, manufactured by Robotnik Corp. and redesigned by Tails.

Amy
Amy is a somewhat ditzy pink hedgehog and is Sonic's self-professed girlfriend. She follows the blue blur where ever he goes, constantly expressing her love for him and generally being a bit of a pain for Sonic.

Having run into Sonic and the gang after running away from the robots, she once again joins Sonic on his latest adventure.
