This is the Sonic Riders Official Discussion thread. This thread is to talk about how great or bad you think the game is, ask questions about the story or gameplay, or pretty much anything about Sonic Riders.

Can I suggest that all spoilers be marked? For example:

**************SPOILER ALERT!!!!*****************

Sonic Dies...

*************END SPOILER***************************

Haven't we've been through this? It's a VERY high chance Aiai's in it! NP has even quoted his appearance! Believe it or not, it's true. You'll see, soon enough...

Well as all you know today Sonic Riders was released, I would've gone to the store and  buy the game but I don't have the money. I only have ten dollars and I need a way to get money faster. Finally, I have one question to who ever has played it already, How good is it?

lol. Yeah. The game is really great. It feels alot like Kirby's Air Ride in some ways, namely that you will go forward without using any button input, but it's so unique in others that it really makes for quite the gaming experience.

I'm a little dissapointed with the story mode so far. I've only done the hero one, though.

****Potential Spoiler****

With the exception of Sand Ruins, the game throws in a bunch of the green robot character as fillers to make 8 on EVERY race. This gets VERY annyoing on the races where the goal is "Defeat Jet/Wave/Storm." They all have the subnote "(finish in first place)" I've had it where Jet was in last place and I was sitting in second when the screen says "FAILED" because one of the green robos finished first. Oh yeah, and the story is WAY to short. The Japanese site did, in fact, reveal the entire storyline.

****END Spoiler****

I have mixed emotions about the shop. On the one hand, it really requires you to save up your rings for the gear you want, but on the other, it's alot harder to get the rings than I thought it would be. If you fall off the track or get attacked by an opponent you lose all of them and are sent back to level 1. VERY frustrating.

That's what I think of the game so far. I haven't played it very much at all. I'll post more once I've played more.

I like the trick system. It's simple. All you have to do is tap varying directions to pull off tricks, just don't hold the control stick in one direction. That gets you 2 tricks MAYBE and a low trick rank.

You just get good... I don't know really how to answer that question. My best advice would be to make sure you hit EVERY dash ring EVERY lap. This includes the first set where the fly ramp is in the center of the track and the second set where you have to charge a jump and get big air near the start of one of the side-ramps on the track. Oh yeah, and don't fall. That's what's going to kill you the most.

Try to knock out Wave as often as you can to slow her down helps, but you use a lot of air doing that.  There is some secret passage that all the other characters use, and it gets really frustrating quick, as you have no idea what they're taking.  The robots besides Wave aren't too tough, just keep up your air, try to knock out Wave as much as you can, and before you do all that, practice as much as you can in Time Attack, as you'll need to master the track before-hand to win.

I figured out how the turbulance based shortcuts work. Look for wierd trick zone arrows. Trick zones will always appear in the same place, so look for the ones that are different (They're colored greenish blue inside the arrow instead of clera) and take those to access shortcuts. I've found one that lead to a 100 ring item box.

Oh, check the Japenese site, everyone. HELL FREEZES OVER! (The level's called Ice Factory)

Ice Factory's old news for me.  It was more like an ocean by the time I got through it.  I was blazing through there.
