The mechanic is so great they used it in sonic world adventure ( sonic unleashed ) and sonic generations . Admittedly , the mechanic wasn’t as great as how it was in this game , but it still was great to play
Pachinko level in Super Mario Sunshine. Fuck that level! It also took the life of my first controller in addition to the padding, but the padding was first so still counts.
Franz Ferdinand Timing is important as it will dictate where you land but yeah all you gotta do is just charge your jump an angle it to go either higher or farther. It's all in the game's video tutorial.
I like Sonic Riders better in general than Zero Gravity, but the Gravity Dive was super fun, and ZG's Super Sonic is too once you activate the magnetic barrier gear change. Free Riders probably could've been fun too, but the Kinect being required killed that possibility.
@@jruler93 gravity dive was fun, but it's absolutely no replacement for the boost. It basically combined the single coolest aspect (Boosting) and the single worst aspect (Autoscroll sections) on the original SR into one move, and drags the quality down.

Why won't Sega make another Sonic riders.... I know Sonic free riders was kind of a bust but I doubt one swing and a miss but one game shouldn't put out a great franchise. Sonic team racing was nice but I really miss how unique sonic riders was. You'll never find a board racing game like this.
That's Sega's game. "Oh, that failed? Trash it and go back to the drawing board." Happened to the Advrnture style gameplay thanks to 06, happened to Boom because Boom, and may have happened to boost because of Forces.
@@soundrogue4472 Understandable to be honest. They made some crucial mistakes in the 90’s and early 00's by mismanagement. Can understand that they're a bit passive now.
Yeah, the game does a really bad job at explaining the mechanics to the player. I think that was the main reason for the game receiving bad reviews when it released.
I'd like to argue that the high booster board is better for speed runs. While it only allows you to boost once before you have to feed it more air, you can strategize when to boost per level and maximize your speed. The high booster is much faster than the standard board.
Huh... Why does the runner tap left and right buttons? I remember as a child I discovered that during tapping part you can just hold both buttons, get massive speed boost and tons of air. I thought that's why he's playing PC version Edit: Yes, I WASN'T misremembering things! This centipede. If you hold both directions simultaneously, you actually can outspeed it!
It probably depends on the level, because some of them have some really interesting Fly exploits, but otherwise, yes. Being able to knock shit out of your way whenever you need to is very useful.
Power types feel pretty underpowered IHMO, mostly because they just get a little bit of air restoration for each thing you hit, but flying and grinding often let you restore large chunks of your air meter.
Does anyone know of a tutorial of how to configure a controller to Sonic Riders PC? If so, could you fill me in because I want to start running the game
Emulator i used pcsx2 and then open the emulator i plugged in a ps4 remote and once it connects go into controller and map the controls allowing you to play how you want
It does not let you reach to the second floor in Babylon Garden when you do the auto parts perfectly even when you hold left and right. Is there an option to jump there?
how can you play sonic riders ? This game worked on my pc a few years ago (windows 7), but with new updates from windows i cannot play it anymore on my computer (on windows 7 or 10).
Had this game when I was a little kid. I’m so sad that I was too bad to beat the hero’s mission and the game broke so I can’t do story mode. If anyone has a copy for the GameCube HMU as I would love to do a speed run
I just pulled my copy out like an hour ago and thought about people speed running this game, turns out I was a speed runner since the age of ten compared to this runner. I used to get even quicker times and never really knew. :P
there are % speedrun categories in this game it would classify as hero% as you only do the hero campaign. if he wanted to complete the game fully it would be any% and a 100% for a full and complete playthrough of everything the game has to offer for a completionist.
Racing games in general have this problem - the fun is in discovering the perfect route (and Riders has a *lot* of possible routes), but once you've planned everything out it's just going through the motions as quick as you can. And on single player there's nobody who can keep up with you, either.

Underrated game. The Air mechanic is a great risk vs. reward mechanic in the vein of F-Zero's boosting.
Honestly, I've almost never had troubles with air management, except when I used gears (like Fastest) that can't refuel by doing tricks.
The mechanic is so great they used it in sonic world adventure ( sonic unleashed ) and sonic generations . Admittedly , the mechanic wasn’t as great as how it was in this game , but it still was great to play
Ong, I never understood the complaint.
The line "Look at Sonic ride that turbulence!" is a stain in my mind that has existed since childhood because of this game
Mine is "Gaining Momentum"
And he makes a perfect landing and takes advantage of the speed boost
Fools. Mine is both
Brendan Szymanski he’s gaaaaining momentum
@@flvckoVLONE
Looks like Tails just grew wings, cause he's flying!
this is the game that removed the padding from my controler's stick
TheKeatonWarrior luigi's mansion was mine
Pachinko level in Super Mario Sunshine. Fuck that level! It also took the life of my first controller in addition to the padding, but the padding was first so still counts.
It gave me blisters bc I'd spin the joystick with my palm lol

played it on my xbox classic xD
It was my childhood on the gamecube. :D

tfw you didn't know back/frontflipping was what affected jumps and you thought it was because of timing
Roshivvy megido Yeah.
Back=Higher
Forward=Further
HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS IT?! I DIDN'T SUCKED ASS?!
Franz Ferdinand what?
Samir Malik I always thought that I was messing up jumps because of my bad timing, but know I know that is not true ;_;
Franz Ferdinand Timing is important as it will dictate where you land but yeah all you gotta do is just charge your jump an angle it to go either higher or farther. It's all in the game's video tutorial.
I can't believe someone actually speedrun this game. This and Zero Gravity are my favorite Sonic racing games
i wish the series didn't become a mess after the first game. Zero gravity isn't that bad but it just takes all the speed out of a game about Racing.
Yeah, i played both of them on ps2, and i LOVED Sonic Riders, but i must say that zero gravity had a good idea, and a bad execution.
Zero Gravity's music was significantly better
I disagree. It became something different, but not worse.
I like Sonic Riders better in general than Zero Gravity, but the Gravity Dive was super fun, and ZG's Super Sonic is too once you activate the magnetic barrier gear change. Free Riders probably could've been fun too, but the Kinect being required killed that possibility.

glad he took the time to show off the trick at the end!
I loved this game as a kid. Everyone slept on this one
It is something when you think you're pro at this game and yet, seeing how they play while speedrunning makes think that they're so good.
I sometimes boot up my old GC and play this game with friends once in a while. Its a timeless classic, like smash!
I played this game when I was a kid and loved it but hated Babylon that shit was hard as fuck
This game is so good
He did pretty well considering he wasn't even planning on speed running the hero story.
I remember getting this on my GameCube when I was like 6 and loved it since then.
So much nostalgia playing this game with my God brother, good times
ah, memories. this game has such badass music as well. nostalgic vibes all over.
actually more in depth of a game than i imagined.
gaming playstation 2 speedrun game splash canyon in tails
This game was one of my childhood games... man
Oh hey, he's a Warframe Founder. Represent!
Sitchrea Potere speedrunning sonic riders and confounded Warframe? this man has taste
What kind of co-founding?
TheLivingGlitch Co-founding as in he was one of Warframe's players who paid for the game way before all of it's features were added and all the bugs were fixed. He basically helped fund the studio behind WarFrame to improve the game by paying for it when it just came out.
The game recieved mixed reviews. But early critic reviews are irrelevent.
This Game is one of my favorite childhood games. I have so many good memories 😊
Good memories playing this on the OG Xbox
This game is amazing i still have it
2:56
Waldemar Sha wow why aren't you first comment? I had to dig too deep to find this!
INACTIVE CHANNEL Or the literal beginning of the video.
i remember playing this game when i was like 6 it took me 6 and a half hours to do
This run inspired me to speedrun
woah you did it
great job!
Why won't Sega make another Sonic riders.... I know Sonic free riders was kind of a bust but I doubt one swing and a miss but one game shouldn't put out a great franchise. Sonic team racing was nice but I really miss how unique sonic riders was. You'll never find a board racing game like this.

@@kamanira also heroes style gameplay and also almost “classic” styled games with 4 until mania happened
Sega always does this because they're afraid of failure instead of learning from it.
@@soundrogue4472 Understandable to be honest. They made some crucial mistakes in the 90’s and early 00's by mismanagement. Can understand that they're a bit passive now.
race start at 3:16 ^^
did anyone else see during Babylon garden E-10000G grind and the dude is a power character
Yeah, G in the story mode does pretty much whatever they want. I've seen 'em grind, fly and smash.
Run Starts at 3:14
I had no idea this game could be so technical. None of what you explained is apparent when you pick up the game for the first time.
Yeah, the game does a really bad job at explaining the mechanics to the player. I think that was the main reason for the game receiving bad reviews when it released.
@@pabloinz382 Nah man, i figured out how to play by myself when I was a kid using the in game tutorials. I made the 100% and I always won every race.
Such an amazing game.
I'd like to argue that the high booster board is better for speed runs. While it only allows you to boost once before you have to feed it more air, you can strategize when to boost per level and maximize your speed. The high booster is much faster than the standard board.
It is better for let's say an all course time attack run. But since it's story mode, you're pretty much locked to what the game gives you
YEs! I waited for Sonic Riders for so long :D And i know that the game is on PC but i couldnt find it anywhere...
I dont remember any of the menu screens from this game, but I definitely remember the sound effects 😂
One of My favorite games
I remember how bad I was at this game on PC but I still enjoyed the heck out of it as a kid.
this game was so lit
Run Starts: 3:00
I forgot how badass this game is.
Wait, THAT's how you get the first 100 ring box? Jumping off of a wall? Huh.
how come in this version he has to tap left and right as opposed to moving the control stick in circles?
Rick James Hes playing on pc
Huh... Why does the runner tap left and right buttons? I remember as a child I discovered that during tapping part you can just hold both buttons, get massive speed boost and tons of air. I thought that's why he's playing PC version
Edit: Yes, I WASN'T misremembering things! This centipede. If you hold both directions simultaneously, you actually can outspeed it!
Did u know how to get the alt way on it ? Like on 9:14
I would say power is more op then flying in this game.
It probably depends on the level, because some of them have some really interesting Fly exploits, but otherwise, yes. Being able to knock shit out of your way whenever you need to is very useful.
Rosalina is my waifu Power got the short end of the stick. They do nothing but punch what's in front of them.
Power types feel pretty underpowered IHMO, mostly because they just get a little bit of air restoration for each thing you hit, but flying and grinding often let you restore large chunks of your air meter.
There ain't much to the Power type. It's the weakest imo
Isn't there a bug on the PC version with the automatic sections where holding the left and right arrow keys just speeds you the fuck up?
Oh he didn't do that because he was playing on a control stick, bummer
Im so enjoyed of the game in 2011 but its so fun from these 3 riders we mean zero gravity and free riders...😎😍
That was unlucky not being able to do the buffer at all
F-Zero meets Kirby's Air Ride
This and ZG deservers a remake or at least a sequel
I can officially confirm that it is indeed 'all good'.
how to do the trick on 9:14 ? i played sonic 6years ago yet i still dont know hot to do that
10:43 Dude really overlapped somebody then hit him🤣🤣
Does anyone know of a tutorial of how to configure a controller to Sonic Riders PC? If so, could you fill me in because I want to start running the game
Emulator i used pcsx2 and then open the emulator i plugged in a ps4 remote and once it connects go into controller and map the controls allowing you to play how you want
When you run out of air your max speed is 150, not 40.
they call the boards extreme gear but you and a lot of other people can cal it whatever they want
It does not let you reach to the second floor in Babylon Garden when you do the auto parts perfectly even when you hold left and right.
Is there an option to jump there?
well turns out no you HAVE to use someones turbulance
Awesome Game
Someone explain why they say kill the animals?
iHCSx in super Metroid you can save a group of animals at the end of the game but it waste time
How to play on pc
Im new here so i don't understand the kill the animals thing plz explain
www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/2rcqjn/agdq_so_what_does_killsave_the_animals_mean_is/
6:23 extreme gear.
how can you play sonic riders ? This game worked on my pc a few years ago (windows 7), but with new updates from windows i cannot play it anymore on my computer (on windows 7 or 10).
The original copy of the game had a DRM that Windows now IDs as malware. Try the Sonic PC Collection version of the game
If it gets laggy the more the game runs, it sounds like someone forgot to free resources.
Why didn't Celestics get the 100 ring thing on the second stage?
Whos still playing this game on ps2 in 2020??? Also death stranding on ps4 is amazing lol
Keep on keeping on!
i just remember making a fucking hole in my hands just by spinning the fucking analog stick as fast i could
3:13
Had this game when I was a little kid. I’m so sad that I was too bad to beat the hero’s mission and the game broke so I can’t do story mode. If anyone has a copy for the GameCube HMU as I would love to do a speed run
Wait this is just half the game, what happened to Jet's storyline?
Dash and power: ☆☆☆ bruh
I remember mario cart having a power slide not a drift
It's still the same thing.
There’s not a 100 ring jar on every level
But there is though. With the exception of Babylon Guardian
this looks like an old arcade game
Wow that last trick thing is busted..... other than that it was solid run
This game is like ssx tricky
There should be a speedrun without air drifting with pause abuse. It ruined what world records i had in time attack.
I still have that game
Awesome game
Im sad they destroyed it
I just pulled my copy out like an hour ago and thought about people speed running this game, turns out I was a speed runner since the age of ten compared to this runner. I used to get even quicker times and never really knew. :P
whhhhhattttt
2nd
1st
Congratz!
What? He only did Heros? that's not even the full storyline wtf lol. Failed Speedrun.
there's different speedrun category. this is only heroes, there's only villains, and then both.
there are % speedrun categories
in this game it would classify as hero% as you only do the hero campaign.
if he wanted to complete the game fully it would be any%
and a 100% for a full and complete playthrough of everything the game has to offer for a completionist.
This game looks kinda boring.
It's really fun to play, maybe not so much for watching though.
Just another memer I said ''This game'', not ''games are boring''! -_-
Just another memer FIne...
It's some pretty good fun tbh.

That was slow
This game was god aweful
Zero Gravity was way better
