Sonic Riders is a racing game where Dr. Eggman challenges Sonic and his friends to a Worldwide Grand Prix, with the prize being an ultra-rare Chaos Emerald . The game features air boards that are tailored to each playable character's performance style, adding a new level of tension and excitement to the racing experience.
Players control Sonic and friends as they speed through tracks on air boards, using individual special moves to take down opponents. Air is a crucial element in Sonic Riders , with players needing to replenish their board's "fuel" source by performing tricks and stunts to race well. Additionally, the turbulence generated by other racers can be used to gain an advantage.

This is a racing game where players, as Sonic and friends, compete in the "EX World Grand Prix" on Extreme Gear airboards. The goal is to recover a stolen Chaos Emerald and uncover Dr. Eggman's true intentions.
Story
Story
At midnight in Metal City, Sonic and friends found a valuable Chaos Emerald. As they admired it, a mysterious trio on floating Extreme Gear airboards appeared and snatched the gem.
As the thieves raced away, one dropped their airboard. Sonic jumped aboard to pursue them, but unaccustomed to riding, he lost his footing and they escaped.
Later, in Metal City Plaza, Sonic and friends were interrupted by Dr. Eggman on a giant building monitor. He announced the "EX World Grand Prix," a tournament to find the best Extreme Gear riders.
Sonic groaned, wondering what Eggman was planning. At that moment, the three Chaos Emerald thieves appeared as top entrants on the monitor.
Sonic's attitude changed. "The EX World Grand Prix, huh? Let's do this!" Sonic's mind was made up. But what was Eggman really planning, and who were the three mysterious characters?
