''Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity'' has a total of 18 playable characters (19 if you consider Super Sonic seperate from Sonic), 7 of which are playable from the start and play a role in the game's main story. The characters are categorized in '''Speed''', '''Flight''', and '''Power''' formations. Speed characters have the highest max speed, flight characters have the best starting speed, and power characters have the best durability. Unlike the original ''[[Sonic Riders]]'', ''Zero Gravity'' doesn't let characters take shortcuts (i.e. Grinding Rails) according to formation type, but according to the extreme gear they ride. For example, riding a Bike or a Wheel enables the rider to take power-type shortcuts (see [[Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity/Extreme Gear Types]] for more information). Replacing the original ''[[Sonic Riders|Riders']]'' drifting and boosting is Gravity Control. Every character has a Gravity Control Device that lets them perform the Gravity Drift and Gravity Dive. Also, if a character touches an [[Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity/Items|Item Box]] that has a fist on it, the character can enter "Attack Mode", which causes the character to run forward at high speeds, attacking enemies in their way, very similar to boosting in ''Sonic Riders''. A character's and extreme gear's stats are represented by:

Replacing the original Riders' drifting and boosting is Gravity Control. Every character has a Gravity Control Device that lets them perform the Gravity Drift and Gravity Dive. Also, if a character touches an [[../Items|Item Box]] that has a fist on it, the character can enter "Attack Mode", which causes the character to run forward at high speeds, attacking enemies in their way, very similar to boosting in Sonic Riders. A character's and extreme gear's stats are represented by:

He loves tinkering with machines, often building something to aid Sonic in his adventures. Although still fairly new to being an Extreme Gear mechanic, Tails is always working on ways to improve his gear repairing skills.

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.

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. She likes having things go her way, and often uses her Piko Piko Hammer to make sure it does. Having run into Sonic and the gang after running away from the robots, she once again joins Sonic on his latest adventure.

Wave acts as the mechanic for the Babylon Rogues, as well as being the level headed voice of reason for the group. Although she is good with most mechanical things, Extreme Gear is her specialty, beating Tails and Eggman in both knowledge and experience in that field. Once again on the trail of treasure with the Babylon Rogues, Wave makes sure that Jet and Storm stay on task.

Storm is the muscle of the Babylon Rogues and serves as Jet's right-hand man. Fairly clumsy and simple minded, Storm has no problems with just following Jet's orders and getting the job done. He also has a habit of stuttering whenever he's excited or flustered, but seems to have it under control. After bumping into Knuckles, along with Sonic and the gang, an old rivalry is about to be sparked anew with Storm eager to settle the score.

A self proclaimed evil genius with an IQ of 300 whose real name is Ivo Robotnik, Dr. Eggman has been Sonic's arch-nemesis since way back when. A man with a passion for robotics, the Doctor has spent many years trying to pull off his plans to build his own EggmanLand, but Sonic and Co. stop him in his tracks every time. Eggman is the founder and owner of MeteorTech but he claims he played no part in the robots going berserk. Can Eggman really be trusted, or is this just his latest scheme?
