Story Mode[edit]
Hold a race based on the storyline. That means you do a race that has to do with the story. There are two storylines, "Heroes" and "Babylon". But in order to even start the "Babylon" storyline, which includes Jet, Wave and Storm, you must complete the "Heroes" storyline, which stars Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. For more info on these storylines, go to Walkthrough section.
Mission Mode[edit]
- For more details on this topic, see Sonic Riders/Missions.
The Missions are certain things you gotta do for example you have to collect 5 pieces of junk, performing trick for a crowd, etc. While meaningless and not worth the time to most, the completion of these tasks have some very special rewards, especially the unlocking of a classic character from the days of the Sega CD and Dreamcast.
Survival Mode[edit]
There are two types of contests which are Race Stage and Battle Stage. The goal for the race stage is try to get the Chaos Emerald and get it to through a gate. To win, the player who has went through most gates with the Chaos Emerald wins.
To get the Chaos Emerald from another player, simply attack them to make them drop the emerald.
The battle stage's objective is just a battle which that means attack the other players. There are three stages for battle mode to play on.
Tip: Use a Power type to get a strength advantage. If you don't use a Power type, using a Speed or Fly type is good, as well. With those, however you need to get your Lv. 3 boost early to do the most damage to your opponents.
Tag Mode[edit]
Tag Mode is different one because you share an Air Tank with another player. All of your attacks, character types abilities, and shortcuts unlocked in Story Mode are not in Tag Mode. You are only allowed to pick what stage and which gear you want. Use the Extreme gear that gives your character a leg-up, such as equipment that boosts your character's Limit, Dash, and Cornering stats.
As a result of the shared Air Tank gimmick, if you and your partner move too far apart from one another you'll get a shock. The only way you can tell if you're far ahead or if you are far behind is that you'll see your character's picture on the left or right side of you're Air Tank which that means it tells you how far part you are from each other. To win you and your partner have to get to the finish line before your opponents do.
Shop[edit]
- For more details on this topic, see Sonic Riders/Extreme Gear.
Ever feel that the extreme gear you're using is not doing you justice and you have tons of Rings but don't know what to do with them? Well then, you can go to the shop where a Sales Chao will be more than happy to take those Rings off your hands. In the shop you're allowed to spend your Rings to get Extreme Gear.
