Crazy Taxi

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

High gain, high drain.

The Crazy is all about maximizing it’s ring gain abilities in order to cash out on high speed boosts from Limiter Cut. Armed with a bevy of actions to build these rings, it can become extremely fuel efficient in some cases. However, it’s high costs also can affect it, as you’ll need to constantly be utilizing these mechanics in order to keep the pace up.

Special flags	Starts with 50 rings, cannot use pits, Sticky Fingers.

Frames to charge drift dash	60

Crazy moves

Limiter Cut is a mechanic where, the slower you go, the faster you’ll boost. At first glance, it doesn’t seem very applicable to the pace of Sonic Riders. However, when you pair this with the next mechanic, you’ll be able to execute these flawlessly.

Default Gear

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Standard Gear of many looks

While all characters in Sonic Riders has a unique version of this gear available to them, they all perform the same in terms of statistics and gameplay.

Colloquially called “Default gear” or “Default” by the community at large, what it lacks in special mechanics, it gains in pure flexibility in races with two of it’s main properties.
