Sonic Riders - Sky Road

In a strange inversion of motifs, the Babylon course is bright and sunny whereas the Heroes course is dark and stormy. I suppose it's because the Heroes story ends with Babylon Garden whereas Sky Road is still a buildup of tension. The mood isn't quite so ominous yet. Doesn't mean the course is any easier though. You need to watch your step, as there are still a lot of sharp turns without guardrails, the classic way to make a tough course.

The character I'm using is E-10000R. (R stands for "red," I presume.) Also voiced by the late Maddie Blaustein, E-10000R is the partner in crime to E-10000G. E-10000R is an enigma in that, although he's a Speed character (and can thus grind on rails), he's slower than E-10000G, a Power character. R says the same things as G, except higher-pitched and quieter. (He says, "Target acquired" at the beginning, and I believe he says nothing at all at the end of the race.)

The AI in this course is brutal, able to take all of the shortcuts in this course like it's nothing, and that's saying something considering that the biggest shortcut in the game is in this course. See the jet stream looking thing after the second jump that I get on in the first lap but not the others? That path can save a whole 7 or 8 seconds off a lap, and this is one of the shorter courses. Take a look at how easily E-10000G overtook me in the second lap. Luckily, I get to take advantage of a wicked grind rail that lets me catch up...though not entirely.

Power characters can take advantage of a well-hidden shortcut on this course: Just before the rail I use, there's a pile of rubble on the road that a Power character can knock out of the way. It'll drop them down a hole that lets them skip the sharp turn that would immediately follow if they took no shortcut at all.

How did you go on that wind? What flips do I have to do to grab that wind?

[Overhazard]

@secretwalkthroughs If you mean that big one, you need to do a long jump.

[Atjme]

how the hell can you get on the upper way after the tower?

[Overhazard]

@Atjme I believe you have to do a high jump: Hold the control stick down when getting ready for a trick.

This level is challenging just like babylon Garden I was stuck on both those levels for god knows how long I was happy back then when it was over & done with but after getting the GC I'm having trouble unlocking this robot I managed to unlock the green robot but not this one (E-10000R) I have no idea how I unlocked the robot on the PS2 version but I can't remember how I didn't know how I unlocked the green robot either I just got a message saying I've unlocked him

I find this stage easynow :)
