“Not just a race. But a special race! To see who’s the fastest!” ~ Actual line from Eggman in the script of the first Riders game

[@Handepsilon]

That line was so weird I dunno how Mike Pollock could say that with a straight face. Just localization issue I guess

​@kenterminateddq5311 yea and I heard it made the game fun to actually play

[@CrowTRobot]

Jon's right, the vibes ARE so on point! Like he said, many called it a complicated "mechanic overload" but it has such an awesome high speed, super stylized "Sega-Arcade" feel with kickass tunes that totally scratched my itch for more F-Zero GX vibes.

[@williamrojas3505]

That last corner in Babylon Garden was also a personal nightmare as a kid 💀

[@keshang_laow8325]

I absolutely loved Babylon Garden as a kid. When Sonic riders came out, I was 5 years old. I didn't start playing the game until I was 6. Basically, I went to my cousins house, and he beat the living shit out of me. So I went to gamestop and basically got a shit ton of games for like 20 dollars. They were practically giving gamecube games away, and I still have a whole stash of games in my room. Crazy thing is this was my first sonic game ever. I got Sonic Heroes next and then Sonic Rush on the DS followed by Sonic & Mario Olympic games

[@optimus02468]

26:48 Not only that, but there's a guitar sample in the Rocky Ridge music that's also used in Riki's theme from the first Xenoblade. If I had a nickel for every time Sonic Free Riders shared a music sample with the Xenoblade series, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[@robkilbride9242]

Xenoblade X came out 5 years after this so it was X that sampled this, not the other way around. It was probably a bit of a thank you for using the first sample.

[@deadpoule4402]

@@robkilbride9242 No, those samples come from sample libraries, so neither game sampled the other

Absolutely same dude.

[@coneg2714]

once you're over the learning curve of the original game it's so fun, haven't played in years but it was a pretty frequent disc in the gamecube. never got zero gravity but when i tried it at a cousin's i felt let down. but at least that had my guy billy hatcher!

[@staticshock4239]

Yeah the problem with Zero Gravity is they took the criticism of the mechanics being too much to heart and really simplified the game.

[@bxnnx.]

game is still dope and fun tho

[@AbruptAvalanche]

It's painful to see just how easily standard controls could've been implemented into Free Riders. They could have even kept the Kinect controls in a separate mode if they really wanted to have a "Kinect game" for the launch.

[@Jake76667]

i feel like free riders was initially designed with just a standard xbox 360 controller in mind but when microsoft told sega that the kinect was coming out soon and they wanted them to create a launch title to showcase the kinect’s abilities, sega quickly shoehorned in the kinect into free riders and forced people to use that instead of a standard xbox 360 controller

[@battman505]

This series NEEDS to come back

[@laancedance]

I really miss the Sonic Riders series! I need a modern entry ASAP! My nostalgia can not take it anymore!

[@Obsidian8R]

10:00 there are some ways around the turbulence, if you press both the triggers of whatever controller you are using, you will pop right of out of it. OR you can just pick the heavy bike and the game will ignore them comepletely

[@NanaKyoto]

I still vividly remember getting the original Sonic Riders for my 10th birthday (this, and a big ol' trampoline!), and I remember hating the game so much because of how the game handled, but as time went on, I started to love the game, and STILL love the game! (I still have my original PlayStation 2 Greatest Hits copy of the game since that birthday), shame that Zero Gravity leaves me underwhelmed when compared to the original.

[@Profalcon1078]

I feel so happy that Jon is mentioning rivals. I like rivals 2 especially and think it has a cool concept. Played alot of rivals 2 on my PSP even nowadays.

It is nice to get your optimistic perspective on a series I haven’t heard a ton of good about. Great video Jon!

[@shupasopni]

I *love* ZG. One of my fav Sonic games. The first Riders is also great but I think the skill ceiling (floor?) was a lil much. Not even just the difficulty, but things like the grinding show to me they just decided to add unnecessarily complicated or extra imputs that weren't needed. Free Riders being a good game now is great! Really wanna try it some time. It's cool how it and 06 are both getting a new lease on life recently.

[@CatWarior22]

Rail grinding having u to press the jump button again is actually better imo. It gives u the chance to confirm if u want to go on the rail or not. There are some sections in the game where u jump of a ramp and as ur falling there will be a rail. If the game didn't have that mechanic it would just automatically put u on the rail without giving the choice on if u wanted to go on it or not. Sometimes it'll be faster to skip the rail and use ur boost on the final lap or something.

[@PhirePhlame]

Yeah, the skill floor. That's the minimum amount of skill you need to become viable at a game (somewhat synonymous with "learning curve"). A skill _ceiling_ is the opposite - while there's technically always at least a little room for improvement, you know you've hit the skill ceiling when you truly realize that there's practically nothing left to master.

[@ExalinExcels]

"with a tiny bit of work could be the best ever" Meanwhile the Sonic riders tournament edition fan project is right there having already done it

[@MattDustyParker]

A Jon video is always a delight. I played the original Riders as a kid. I quite enjoyed it. Its very engaging but i do feel the entry hurdle has kept casual friends from enjoying it. Ive never played the other entries. Love the Babylon Rogues though.

[@briansilva3765]

I don't think I ever saw real footage of Free Riders, it really looks and feels like an Arcade game, reminded me of a modern Cruisin Game.

[@tornadix99]

honestly it kills me that the first riders game wasn't properly explained, and people to this day say "its hard" when it actuality it really isn't. I agree however, that the true crime of this game is its tutorial. I was very young back then, but i was lucky to let that game on the screen running and get the tutorial from there, then i explored the galery and saw how it worked. So once i learned how that game worked, I was addicted to it. Then i also got Zero G, and while it was ok and eventually grew to like it, the first is UNDENIABLY better. Just get good. Like dark souls. if you can play that game and get "enjoyment" out of it, then you -MUST- can enjoy the first game!! -yep i wanna people to realize its good. please-

[@BagofSchmidt]

Great video. The first Riders is in my top 3 sonic games. Never gets the love it deserves.

[@kevinfp]

There is no better proof that Riders had a lot of potential than the modding comunity. Each one completely rebalances the game's overall mechanics, characters and gears (even changing the mechanics of certain ones), but also adding new ones, like Emerl, Tikal, Reala, a G.U.N. gear and Chaos depending on the mod. For OG Riders there is SR Tournament Edition and SR DX, and for ZG there is Regravitified that I know of, and I think all of them have tournaments online being held by the comunity on Dolphin. I recomend every fan of this series to check them out.

Great video, your videos are always well made and charming^^ And as a big Sonic Fan I especially enjoy the Sonic videos. And even if I don't always agree, I can totally understand your takes, because you describe your thoughts so well. Sonic Riders Zero Gravity plays a lot better with the Regravitified mod, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people will comment that, because it's true :D I actually got really into the Sonic Riders series this year and Sonic Riders DX and Sonic Riders Regravitified are now two of my favourite games! I didn't get the No-kinect patch to work in Free Riders, maybe I'll try that again some time. Btw: The gravity dive sections are kinda the automated sections, so they are also kinda in Zero Gravity. Theres also Xenoblade 1 in Free Riders, Riki The Legendary Heropon and Rocky Ridge use the same sample. Also, why does Riki The Legendary Heropon sounds at some parts like Super Mario Sunshine and at others like Yoshis Woolly World? :P

[@robkilbride9242]

Xenoblade X came out 5 years later. This was probably a shout back after another theme from Free Riders sampled Xenoblade Chronicles,Theme of Rocky Ridge.

[@DominicanStud101]

Sonic Riders on the GC was sooooooooo good.

[@darkhorse744]

Going to Riders after playing ZG made it even harder to understand, an in-depth Tutorial VS a barely there tutorial. You absolutely need a lot of tutorials to be able to properly understand Riders. I played it a good but when I was younger, got Super Sonic and all. ButI was completely lost when I tried to replay it again years later. Edit: Also, Riders' tracks were dark, there were times when I couldn't actually see anything because of how dark they were. Also also, as someone who logged well over 100 hours in ZG, there's a lot more to set the best apart from the not best than you think, especially in the later tracks. Crimson Crater has a ton of skips. Also, there are nuances to when to use the gravity dive too.

[@BlamedAxis]

Sonic Riders 1 is one of my all-time favorite Sonic games. I hope Sega hears the fans' cries for more and revives the series.

[@CorynSilver]

I loved Riders on GameCube and Zero Gravity on Wii (tho I needed to use a GameCube controller) and hell even Free Riders for the Kinect was a fun challenge with a bizarre but ok story. Also ZG added Silver so that’s a plus for me

[@xdoo675]

I loved the first sonic riders, the small amount of mechanical depth during racing was refreshing coming from the basics of atv offroad fury and gran turismo. The sequels never got me the same way.

In the first game, you can also press L+R to drop a tornado to mess with an opponent behind you, at the cost of some air and speed. This command can also be used to exit turbulence tubes.

Earlier this year I picked up a character that resonated with me for a new Sonic OC since my old ones are still very...umm...early 2000s and I'm not in the mood to rewrite them to be less...bad. So I decided to start fresh on some writing and such with a new character for the fandom. A Penguin that's got a surfer look about him. Then I thought "Where would he live in the sonic world?" And I realized "If I'm giving him aquamancy let's go full on surfer guy and have him live in one of my favorite Sonic Rider's locations." and chose Aquatic Capital. Making him a bit of a celebration and being very open that Sonic Riders is my favorite series in the franchise.

Sonic Riders is tricky to learn at first but not impossible. When you master it it feels amazing. I sunk a crazy amount of hours into the original and love it to this day. I own Zero Gravity but didn't put much time into it at all and didn't pick up Free Riders. Jon I can't belive you think the Werehog and Jet sound the same?

So what I gather from this, is that the Riders games are actually pretty fun once you get the hang on them, and that all the negativity surrounding the games is therefore once again due to memes and the internet mocking what it doesn't understand. "Oh my, this game's controls are hard to get used to? Better make fun of it and say it is the game's fault instead of me lacking skill".

Your videos are what I wish Scott the Wos' videos were

[@PhirePhlame]

Uhh? Zero Gravity also ties the type abilites to the gear instead of the character. If I remember right, it generally goes like this: Boards by default are typeless, Air Rides and Yachts can fly, Bikes and Wheels allow you to punch obstacles, and Skates allow you to grind rails. This, if you have one of those non-Board gears equipped then you'll have its type-based ability without having to buy it via a Gear Change.

[@AccelerateHedge]

16:58 Correction here, the AI is not in fact cheating. The leveling system of the default gears does not apply to all gears. Some gears have the type upgrade first, or just have access to them by default (for example, skates can always grind, air rides can always fly, etc.) NiGHTS is using Angel/Devil, which is an air ride gear, so it can fly by default. SCR-GP is a wheel-type gear, so the robots can automatically crash through obstacles (and it's not like Super Mario Kart either, if you're playing as the robots then you can too). To combat this, if you yourself are riding a default gear, you can hold off on getting the first upgrade and wait until you have 50 rings (40 in the case of gears that transform into air rides) to access shortcuts early on, often within the first 20 seconds. Alternatively you could purchase skates, air rides, bikes, wheels, and/or yachts to have access to shortcuts by default, or a board that has the grind upgrade first like Faster or Fastest (if you just want to spam Y lol).

Since it's used with Dolphin, there's even online multiplayer with netplay. I cannot recommend these set of mods enough. Zero Gravity does have a mod called Regravified, which did start fixing several of the issues with the base game, though unfortunately, this was being worked on by the DX team and has also been abandoned.

[@KidAL0]

It’s me I’m a freak who still thinks about Rivals Also shoutout to you Jon for recognizing the unique untapped potential of the original Riders. Some people say it screams 90s/2000s edge as if that’s a bad thing. Games like Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Splatoon show that plenty of players are willing to eat up a modern day “extreme” attitude. Although I admittedly was never a huge fan of the in-game slapstick art style and crude humor… Eggman farts on people 😐 the goated 2D art also was never really reflected in the character models themselves but I appreciated the difference in proportions and accessories nonetheless; made it feel like a completely separate universe. As much as I want a new entry though, I don’t see them returning to the fast-paced glory that made the first so addicting. Whenever remasters of Adventure-era games reenter the rounds of discussion, I throw in a little mention of Riders. Even just a port to modern platforms would be cool but SEGA refuses money, what else is new. Thanks for hyping it up still. You can exit turbulence with the tornado move btw 😉 (actually watch the hidden tutorial video)
