Sonic Riders 2

Since Sonic Riders 2 is planned it deserves its own page. I've added a link in the article to the new game. --DavidHOzAu 06:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should we pull the romours out of Sonic Riders 2, especially the one about the PSP game, since that is supposed to be a port of this game, not a sequel? -- VederJuda 01:53, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, we'd just have to remake the new article when it gets released anyway. If you want to talk about this, do it at the right place. --DavidHOzAu 01:59, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Sonic Riders 2 article is now toast, since there is no real information on it, other than the statement by the producer. -- VederJuda 19:53, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese voiceover inclusion?

Should a quick article be made on which versions of Sonic Riders include Japanese voiceover options? I remember Shadow the Hedgehog was pretty confusing with that. In that game, it was something like:

Xbox: Japanese voiceover included in US, but have to adjust system settings (not sure for EU)
PS2: Japanese voiceover available only in Japanese, and US versions.
Gamecube: Japanese voice only in Japanese version. US and EU versions only have English voiceover

Believe it or not, a lot of people do actually base their voices on if it contains Japanese voices or not...--Sera404 23:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PSP rumour

I put the PSP rumour back on this page because the rumour is for a port of this game to appear on the PSP, not Sonic Riders 2; therefore it belongs here, not there. -- VederJuda 23:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have also put the Nintendo Revolution rumour back now that the Sonic Riders 2 page is gone. I would also like to get a consensus on what rumours belong and don't belong here. In my opinion, the only rumours that are valid are those with verifyable and respectable sources, and are not fan speculation; this would also exclude extra "info" that are tacked onto sourced rumours which itself isn't sourced--i.e. speculation that the next-gen game is a remake of Sonic Riders as opposed to a sequel, when the source specifically uses the word "sequel". -- VederJuda 19:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering about that. The 'sources' of the rumor of a remake on next-gen consoles, is invalid. It's a rumor about a sequel, not a remake. The rumor of a PSP port of Sonic Riders is still valid, though. --Ultimate 15:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merger of Babylon Guardian into this article

Babylon Guardian is a two-paragraph article about a character in this video game. Propose merger of that article into this one. Kevyn 02:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why was that article created in the first place?! Those kids are always getting too exicted!

When I soon get this game, I will clean up this article!

>x<ino 02:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we should just delete it. It's already in Minor characters in Sonic the Hedgehog. If nothing else, at least move the info there to the profile in the Minor Sonic Characters page, and then delete the other one. --Ultimate 15:33, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent idea. I've marked the article for merger there. Thanks for the suggestion, and letting me know about the Minor Sonic Characters page! Kevyn 14:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What about nominating it on AfD and seeing what the community consensus is? --TBC

^{??? ??? ???} 02:28, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I'm OK with merging it into the Minor Sonic Characters page. I've made that recommendaton. Kevyn 14:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Difficulty Section

Doesn't it seem kind of biast? It may be difficult to some people, but not all, and it isn't very encyclopidic.

You're right, difficulty does differ from person to person. However, the difficulty has been a main complaint in reviews from such sources as Gamespot and IGN. Perhaps we rename the section from Difficulty to Criticism, and add cites from the above mentioned websites? --TBC

^{??? ??? ???} 10:27, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I edited it quite a bit now. Hopefully this will make it seem less opinonated. Knuckles sonic8 20:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, nice job Knuckles--TBC

^{??? ??? ???} 02:26, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks! Knuckles sonic8 02:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unlockables

Technically, listing the unlockables IS encyclopedic information. Listing how to get them, however, is when you start to cross into Gamefaqs territory, I think. I think they should be put back. BlazeHedgehog 07:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Extreme Gear Chart

I believe, if I'm not mistaken, someone removed the Extreme Gear charts. This has been in the progress of being updated constantly, I should know because I've updated it quite a number of times. And now, someone has removed it! Can anyone bring it back?

NIGHTS

Can NIGHTS talk because he does not say anything through out the game.

In a word, no. Knuckles sonic8 19:37, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rude Misinterpretation

I edited the "Notes" section recently as this is what it was like before:

"Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow, and Storm the Albatross, all new , are members of a new organization of thieves and gays known as the Babyboy Rogues and are led by Doctor Eggman...."

Good thing I spotted this remark. Obviously, the messing around on this page seems to be continuing...

Controversy

Who deleted the criticism and controversy sections? And why? (Plainnym 17:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Fanboyism; no doubt about it. --Dabigkid 19:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think Criticism should stay, but I'm removing Controversy.- Lord Lonic

Sonic Riders part of the main "Sonic" story?

Is this game considered a continuation of the Sonic Adventure/Heroes/Shadow line? More to the point, shouldn't this be in the spin-off section with the other Sonic racing games? (Morningblur 16:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Its in fact not apart of the official story. Its just a side game for others who just wanna race with sonic and pals. Also just to introduce the three new characters Jet, Wave, and Storm. It was a pretty good idea i guess.

No. KatariG4 6:56, 27 June 2006

Yes I believe it is, there is nothing saying that it isn't. MindWraith 09:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It happened in the main storyline like the other games and it is Sonic adventure 3

Sonic Riders Track jumps

There are 3 types of jumps through out the whole game. Horizontal - angled /except lower and then / these almost vertical. the key to getting on "2nd lvls" is holding X (ps2) until you reach the part closest to the end. Or what I the first or top arrow practice this on Metal City it works.

Character Music Alterations?

I saw this in the Music Trivia section:

"If you play as NiGHTS or AiAi on the Metal City track, the music will change. It is unknown if Ulala changes music on tracks as well"

I don't believe this is true. Can we remove it?Knuckles sonic8 01:51, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gear Exchange in Dark World

I always thought the black market shop in sonic adventure was in the dark world. It is written here that this is a reference to the dark chao garden in SA2 however I think it is a reference to sonic adventure. User:RossyMiles 09:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Game storyline

This was added to the article:

"Despite Shadow's presence as a bonus character, Sonic Riders appears to be set before Sonic Adventure 2. In the intro movie for Hero Story, Jet is sillouetted against the full moon, despite half of it having been destroyed in Sonic Adventure 2."

In Sonic Adventure 2 the moon was destoryed but in every following game it is shown intact. There have been many theroies about this, my favourite is that the moon was restored by chaos energies in Sonic Advance (The game that directly follows SA2).

I just would like to put a reason for removing this paragraph form the article. ROSSYMILES (ロシマイルス) TALK 12:42, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sonic Riders clearly takes place AFTER Sonic Adventure 2. I mean, Cream's, Rouge's, Shadow's presence in Sonic Riders just justify's it's after Sonic Adventure 2. And, the moon thing, it dosen't matter. And besides, it's just speculation. UnDeRsCoRe 20:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would also like to point out that the moon was full in Shadow the Hedgehog's opening movie, and I read in the New Yorker that since the moon is held together by its own gravity, it will make itself spherical no matter what you do to it. If I could remember the issue, I'd site it, but as is, it's just a little food for thought. DackAttac 22:28 (EST)

Riders 2 Spam

Public Address: Please stop adding false information about Sonic Riders 2. It is getting very wearisome. Please also stop adding characters that could potentially be in it! This has happened so many times not just on this article; I'm getting to the point where I'm really getting tired of seeing these speculations everywhere and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
