Sonic Free Riders is a 2010 racing video game for the Xbox 360 and the third game of the Sonic Riders series.Set after the events of Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, the nefarious Dr. Eggman once again sets up a World Grand Prix (under a comically Paper-Thin Disguise). This time, Team Sonic and the Babylon Rogues are joined by Team Dark and Team Rose in this new tournament to prove who is the ultimate racer, but as with any Eggman scheme not everything is as it appears...Mechanically, Free Riders represents a "back to basics" approach to the Riders formula compared to the somewhat radical departure that was Zero Gravity. Many of the mechanics from the first Riders, such as the Air Tank, manual Boosting, and the Level system make a return, combined with returning Zero Gravity mechanics such as the Gear Parts system and simplified Tricking. Unique to this installment is the integration of full-body motion controls, courtesy of the Xbox 360's Kinect peripheral. Players steer and control the Extreme Gear by moving their body; in addition, players can use their appendages to perform various other actions, such as holding out their hands to grab items and gimmicks or physically interacting with collectable power-ups. | |

Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity | |
| Sonic Free Riders (Video Game) / int_23da94d8 | comment |
Tender Tomboyishness, Foul Femininity: Wave is the tomboy to Rouge's girly girl in Free Riders, but Rouge Took a Level in Jerkass and is rather callous towards E-10000B, and Wave, while arrogant in her own right and argues with her team, never goes as far as to selfishly disregard their conditions just to win. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Sonic Free Riders (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Metropolis Speedway resembles an old western European city, but has flying cars and hovering trains. In a different sense, Rocky Ridge. This is a still-inhabited Old West mining town. In other words, Sonic and his acquaintances are having a hoverboard race through a town whose citizens still travel about by steam locomotives and horse-drawn covered wagons. It's also quite anachronistic in the context of the series — whereas the rest of the series has a distinctively futuristic look, this place seems stuck in the 1850s. | |

Took a Level in Kindness | |
| Sonic Free Riders (Video Game) / int_3dcc914f | comment |
Took a Level in Kindness: The Babylon Rogues are still arrogant, but far less condescending towards their rivals in Free Riders. Jet even compliments Shadow and Rouge on their skills. It is zigzagged a bit by them arguing with each other a bit more and blaming each other for things going wrong. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Sonic Free Riders (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: CPU racers will typically use five kick-boosts in a row for every one the player uses with no apparent drawbacks or consequence despite the steep consumption rates for boosts. Downplayed in that consecutive kick-boosts don't stack and the course layout is such that they'll run out of open road long before they can ride out their boost to it's full extent. | |

Balance Buff | |
| Sonic Free Riders (Video Game) / int_6e1e24a | comment |
Balance Buff: After being nerfed in Zero Gravity, Super Sonic was restored to being the best character in the game in Free Riders. Free Riders Super Sonic is always on his board by default and has no concept of Levels or Gear Parts. Once you get 30 Rings, Sonic transforms into Super Sonic, which gives him better stats and infinite Air, but unlike previous games, doesn't automatically start burning Rings until he hits Super Sonic Boost. Activating any Boost will cause Super Sonic to go into Super Sonic Boost mode, which is sustained indefinitely until you run out of Rings, burns Rings at a rate of only two Rings per second, and has a blistering permanent top speed of 200 km/h. | |

Later-Installment Weirdness | |
| Sonic Free Riders (Video Game) / int_7b21ef92 | comment |
Later-Installment Weirdness: The game has four story modes and it has a mostly re-cast voice cast. It has no guest characters. The game is overall more lighthearted than the first two games with no Babylonian lore, there is no traditional final boss, instead ending with a one-on-one race with Metal Sonic, and the game's tracks do not have alternate Babylon equivalents, not even Metal City, which had Night Chase in Riders. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass | |
| Sonic Free Riders (Video Game) / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: While Shadow and Rouge are usually far from the nicest folks around, it is a little jarring to see them be quite so callous and mean, especially regarding to their mistreatment of E-10000B compared to their usual teamwork with E-123 Omega. Amy also qualifies. She behaves perpetually rudely and obnoxiously to her teammates, compared to the high spirited if temperamental leader she was in Heroes. | |
