Sonic Riders is a 2006 for the, and in which the player controls characters from the series on. In the game's 16 tracks, the player competes against characters—either controlled by computers or other players—in story and battle modes. It was developed by and, published by, and released worldwide in February 2006 in Japan and North America. It was released in Europe the following month and for at the end of the year. A version was canceled. The game was produced in commemoration of the Sonic series' 15th anniversary and was the first Sonic racing game since the 1997 game. Sonic Team wanted to make their own game that was superior to any previous Sonic racing game.
It was designed to appeal to fans of Sonic and video games; the development team did not take inspiration from any prior games. Sonic Riders was also the last Sonic title produced with the involvement of, who left Sega shortly after its release. Sonic Riders was released to mixed reviews, although it did sell well and was branded under the GameCube and PlayStation 2 bestseller lines. Reviewers were critical of its sloppy gameplay, loose controls, and inconsistent design; some praise was directed at the visual style and the sense of speed while racing. Overall, they deemed it a lackluster game—both within the Sonic franchise and the racing game medium—that had its highlights but ultimately fell to its shortcomings.
Despite the mixed reviews, two sequels, (2008) and (2010), were developed and released. Sonic Riders is based around characters racing each other using devices known as 'Extreme Gear', anti-gravity-equipped vehicles consisting of hover boards, hover skates, and hover bikes. Players compete to finish three laps around a racetrack before their opponents and complete the race in first place. Each race features up to eight characters competing. A key component of gameplay is the air tank, displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Air serves as the fuel for Extreme Gear, and is depleted gradually as the race goes on. Characters can also perform a Boost, which will give them a sudden burst of speed at the cost of a significant amount of air.
If a player boosts into an opponent, their character will attack and stun the opponent for a brief period. Air is also more quickly spent using techniques like cornering, which allows the player to round sharp turns with ease, and building tension before a jump, which involves using the air to propel the player higher off of ramps. If a player runs out of air, their character will start running on foot; this prevents them from boosting, attacking, cornering easily or using charged jumps.
Players can refill their air by performing tricks when jumping off ramps or off opponents', with higher-rated tricks sequences restoring more air. Players can also collect rings scattered across the track; collecting a certain number of rings will cause their character to level up for the remainder of the race, increasing the strength of their attacks and extending their maximum air capacity. Sonic Riders features sixteen playable characters, including guest characters from,.
Each individual character has different statistics, altering their performance slightly in races, though some characters are restricted from using certain types of Extreme Gear. Characters are divided into one of three classes, each with different abilities: Speed, Power, and Fly. Speed characters can grind on rails, which grants increased speed and air. Power characters can break certain objects, giving the player a boost and additional air.
Fly characters can fly through rings, boosting the player further into the course. Each race track features multiple shortcuts that can only be accessed by characters of a specific class.
Players can spend the rings they acquire at the in-game shop to purchase new Extreme Gear, each of which possesses unique statistics and properties. The game includes eight unique areas, each with two track variants, for a total of sixteen tracks. Nine tracks are unlocked through progression in the game's story mode, while two must be unlocked by winning Gold in both the World Grand Prix tournaments, in which players race through five consecutive tracks and attempt to get the highest overall score. The game's Story Mode is divided into two campaigns, whose events intersect with one another: The 'Heroes' story, focusing on, and; and the 'Babylon' story, focusing on the, consisting of new characters Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow, and Storm the Albatross.
In each campaign, players take part in consecutive races with predetermined characters, and must take first place in each race to continue the story. Completing the Heroes campaign unlocks the Babylon campaign, which includes an epilogue in which the two stories converge. Up to four players can also compete in the game's single race and battle modes. Jet, leader of the thieving Babylon Rogues, observes the Key to Babylon Garden, an artifact and family heirloom said to unlock the secrets of their Babylonian ancestors. Arrives and claims he can use the to make Babylon Garden rise, asking for the Rogues' help in retrieving them. The Rogues agree and steal an Emerald, but run into Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, who were also looking for the Emerald.
Sonic gives chase, but Jet escapes with the Emerald. The next day, the three see Eggman on a digital billboard advertising an Extreme Gear race known as the World Grand Prix, with the Chaos Emeralds offered as the grand prize. When they realize that the Rogues are participating, Sonic and his friends enter as well. Team Sonic and the Rogues compete in several races, but during the last race, Wave sabotages Sonic's board, allowing Jet to defeat Sonic and win the Grand Prix. Jet uses the Chaos Emeralds to make Babylon Garden appear, hoping to discover the legendary treasure of the Babylonians.
Eggman steals the Key from Jet and heads for the garden, with grabbing Eggman's ship in an attempt to stop him. Sonic grabs a new board and pursues Eggman, but Jet challenges him to another race, seeking to defeat Eggman first. The two arrive at Babylon Garden and find Eggman, who is holding Amy hostage. Combining their powers, Jet and Sonic manage to retrieve the Key and Amy. Jet uses the Key to open a secret door, leading the Rogues inside a Babylonian ruin.
Team Sonic follows them inside, where they encounter the Babylon Guardian, a giant creature tasked with protecting the treasure. The two teams defeat the Guardian, causing a chest to appear.
Eggman returns and demands they give him the treasure, but passes out in confusion upon discovering the treasure is only a carpet. Using the Key, Jet manages to make the carpet fly, revealing that the carpet is an early form of Extreme Gear.
Team Sonic and the Babylon Rogues go their separate ways, with Jet promising to race Sonic again one day. Sonic Riders was developed by and for the, and in commemoration of the Sonic series' 15th anniversary. The game was directed by Kenjiro Morimoto and produced by Takashi Yuda. Hiroshi Miyamoto wrote the script and designed the levels; Kenichi Koshida was the programmer; Yuji Uekawa and Hideaki Moria were the artists; and series co-creator was the executive producer.
Sonic Riders was the last Sonic game that Naka was involved with; he resigned to form his own company, shortly after its release to focus on original games. Yuda said Naka provided input at the beginning of development and additional advice as the game progressed. The game features animated cutscenes by and runs at 60. The game was the series' first racing game since developed in 1997.

According to Yuda, in the years after Sonic R 's release, Sonic Team received many requests from fans for another Sonic racer. Though he played and enjoyed Sonic R, Yuda believed Sonic Team, 'who knows Sonic best', should make another game that was superior to any previous Sonic racing game. Yuda also did not want to make a conventional racing game, instead desiring a dynamic, unique style of gameplay that would allow the player to perform tricks. Being able to do this in a car was illogical; Sonic Team noted that surfing and snowboarding were more flexible. As the concept had a heavy emphasis on air, hoverboards were chosen since they could work in any environment and still be fun to use. Sonic Riders was primarily designed to appeal to fans of Sonic and games, while the multiplayer modes were included for casual gamers.
Yuda has said Sonic Team did not take any influences from prior Sonic games, reasoning they wanted to create a truly new experience that was unlike anything else from other Sonic games. The characters were chosen based on how relevant to the game's story they would be. The game's bird antagonists, the Babylon Rogues, were created because Sonic Team wanted to include 'Air Pirates' as Sonic's rivals.
Levels were designed to be 'crazy' but still feature classic Sonicelements. The game's musical score was composed by, Fumie Kumatani, and Kenichi Tokoi. Two vocal themes were written for the game and performed by the artist Runblebee, 'Sonic Speed Riders' (written by Sawada) and 'Catch Me If You Can' (written by Runblebee). Yuda said the music was written to be 'fast paced and give you that heart pounding feeling you should have during a high-speed race'. A soundtrack album, Sonic Riders Original Soundtrack 'Speedbeats Grand Prix', was released in March 2006.

According to artist Keith Erickson, it used an -style and was supposed to launch at the same time as the other versions. Sega of Japan learned of this version and requested that Backbone add more 3D elements but keep it on the same production schedule. This would have required the engine to be completely rewritten, something Backbone considered impossible, so Sega canceled it.
