But what was Eggmans true motive, and what of the three thieving birds Sonic and his friends must face off against the Babylon Guardian to find out. Gameplay. The game is played entirely on hover boards. Players must race seven other competitors on a total of 1. A key component of the game is the air tank, which fuels the Extreme Gear machines used for racing, and is depleted gradually as the race goes on or by performing certain maneuvers. These maneuvers include cornering, which involves using the air as a sideways force against the board, allowing 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. When airborne players can perform various tricks, which refill the air gauge according to their rating. Riding off the turbulence another board gives off will also refuel the air gauge. Building the tension before a jump will allow the player to perform more tricks before landing. Throughout the courses, there are many rings scattered around. Picking them will allow the player to reach higher performance levels. Players start races at Level 1 which can be maxed out to level 3 with 6. Possibly the most costly maneuver in terms of air is boosting, by which a player greatly increases speed for a short duration. If a boost is performed when in close range of an enemy racer, the player will launch an attack against the racer, causing them to lose rings, and remain stunned for a short duration. Player Attributes. Each racer in the game has one of three beneficial attributes Speed, Flight, and Power. The Speed attribute allows players to grind along rails. The Flight attribute allows players to go airborne by going through a series of suspended hoops. The Power attribute allows players to knock certain obstacles out of their way. Each of these maneuvers will refill the air gauge partially when used. Speed. Flight. Power. Super Sonic has all three attributes thus cant be categorized into a single category. When using Super Sonic he will start off with 3. Also, when you lose all your rings, Sonic only needs one ring to change back to Super Sonic again. It is possible to ride Blue Star instead of just floating across the track with no board. Other Characters. These are characters which play a role in the game but are not actually playable.
