Safety Information
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video
games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while
watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby
objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms–children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from
the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room,
and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction Manual
contains important health and safety information that you should read and understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-pro-
jection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are
played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of game play
may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to
appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage
may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause.
Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be played
safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual,
contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can
be played safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public
performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is

PROLOGUE CHARACTERS
PROLOGUE CHARACTERS
At Midnight one evening in Metal City, Sonic and friends
uncovered a valuable Chaos Emerald. As they stood admiring
it, a mysterious trio on floating Extreme Gear airboards
appeared out of nowhere and snatched the precious gem.
As they raced away, one of the three dropped their airboard
and Sonic jumped aboard to pursue the thieves. But unaccustomed to riding, he lost his footing and they got away.
Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic hates evil as much as he
loves freedom. Sonic can be short
tempered at times but will
always show a gentle side to
those in trouble. He’s nor-
mally carefree and easy
going, even when the going
gets rough; but when it comes to
a showdown he’s aggressive and
focused like a hedgehog possessed!
Later, as Sonic and friends gathered in Metal City Plaza,
they were interrupted by Dr. Eggman speaking from a giant
building monitor.
“I’ve put together a little extra something to spice things up!
I call it the ‘EX
World Grand Prix!’ A tournament to see who’s
the best of the best with Extreme Gear!”
Sonic groaned with disdain.
“Eggman again! Just what is he up to this time?”
At that moment, the three mysterious Chaos Emerald thieves
appeared as top ranking entrants on the monitor and Sonic’s
attitude changed.
“The EX World Grand Prix, huh? Let’s do this!”
Sonic’s mind was made up. But just what is Eggman really
planning? And who are the three mysterious characters?
Sonic has always been known as
the world’s fastest, but inexperienced with Extreme Gear, he will
have to fight to hold onto this
reputation.
Jet the Hawk
Known as the “Legendary Wind
Master,” Jet leads the Babylon
Rogues, a talented group of thieves.
Jet’s Extreme Gear skills are revered
far and wide, earning him an
impressive reputation.
He carries a mysterious “control
box” said to have been passed
down from the ancient Babylonians.

CHARACTERS
Miles “Tails”
Prower
His real name is “Miles
Prower,” but his friends
just call him “Tails.” He’s
a little kid fox with
two tails and a
heart of gold. He
loves tinkering with
machinery and has made
various devices to help Sonic.
This time he’s pitching in as the
team mechanic, fixing up the
Extreme Gear.
Wave the Swallow
A superb mechanic, Wave takes
care of all of the Babylon Rogues’
Extreme Gear. While she's capable
of fixing many things, Extreme
Gear is her specialty, and her
knowledge and experience surpass
both Tails and Eggman in this area.
Storm the Albatross
Storm is the muscle behind the
Babylon Rogues’ nefarious
schemes and Jet’s right-hand
man. What he lacks in smarts,
he makes up for in raw power.
He has a quick temper, but is
slow in movement. He tends
to stutter when excited
or flustered.
CHARACTERS

Knuckles the
Echidna
Born on Angel Island,
Knuckles spends his days
guarding a precious
stone called the Master
Emerald; for reasons he
himself doesn’t understand. His hard headed
demeanor makes him
gullible, and he has been
tricked by Eggman on
more than one occasion.
Bringing his inherent
aggression to the race, he
plans to show Eggman that
this time he means business!

PLAYING THE GAME
EXTREME GEAR AIR SYSTEM
Racing is performed on Extreme Gear Boards powered by Air stored in the
Air Tank. At regular speeds, Air is consumed fairly slowly, but special moves
such as Air Slide and Air Boost will consume Air at a much higher rate. Air
can be replenished by picking up Air Items, performing Trick Actions, capitalizing on your characters’ Special Skills, and rotating the Left Thumbstick
during Automatic Trails.
If the Air Tank becomes empty, you will have to run to the nearest Air Pit
to fill up, perform a trick, or pick up an Air Power-Up item.
AIR PIT
Air Pit terminals allow you to quickly fill your Air Tank, and
are positioned at various points around the tracks. Simply
ride/run over the Air Pit to refill the tank. When the tank is
full, you will automatically leave in the correct direction to
continue the race. If you’re in a rush, press the
to leave the Air Pit immediately.
Note: Some tracks do not have Air Pits.

CONTROLS
Steering Left Thumbstick 15
While riding your Extreme Gear, use the left analog
stick 15to steer left and right around the track.
Forward motion is automatic so no controller input is
required.
Air Boost B / X button
Press the B / X button for an extra blast of speed.
Air Boost also allows you to attack rivals ahead of
you, temporarily disorientating them and costing
them time. This technique consumes a considerable
amount of Air, so try to use it sparingly.
PLAYING THE GAME
PLAYING THE GAME
Air Slide Steering + l / r trigger
Some turns are too tight to tackle at high speed.
Pressing either the l / r trigger while steering into
the corner will shoot a jet of Air out the side of your
Gear to assist in maneuvering. Air is consumed more
quickly when performing an Air Slide.
Brake l / r trigger
Press either the l / r trigger to brake quickly.
Tornado l + r trigger
If a character is too close behind you, you are then vulnerable to being attacked, or overtaken. Press the
and r triggers together to create a mini Tornado that
will halt your rival in their tracks. Tornados cost you
both speed and Air, so check conditions carefully to
make sure other players can't take advantage.

Running Left Thumbstick

by crossing the startline just after the countdown finishes. Don’t cross it too soon or you will get electrified

Trick Zones
These can be found at various points on each track,
and act as springboards allowing you to perform a
variety of Trick Actions. To perform a simple Trick
Action, press the
Trick Zone. For a longer jump that allows greater
combos, hold down the
approach the Trick Zone and release as you pass over
it. Correct timing is crucial. While in the air, use the Left Thumbstick to perform spins in all directions.
Larger numbers of spins in a variety of directions will award you a higher
Rank, which replenishes a greater amount of Air. When the Left Thumbstick
is neutral, the character will automatically return to the upright position facing forward ready to land. Fail to land correctly, and you’ll get a lower Rank
and receive less Air.
There are two types of basic Trick Action as follows:
Back Flip
Hold the Left Thumbstick 3 as you release the A Button. Back Flips propel
you high into the air making it possible to reach Shortcuts or bonus Items
far above.
Front Flip

Accelerators
Launch into an Accelerator and you will be propelled
forward at a higher speed than normal, sometimes as
a Shortcut bypassing part of the course. Use the Left
Thumbstick to try to pass through as many
Accelerators as you can for maximum speed and
bonus Air.
Only Flight Type characters (p.18) can access Accelerators. This is also
known as Air Riding.
Barricades
Some routes around the track are sealed off by
obstacles such as barrels and stationary vehicles, that
have to be smashed through to gain access. Smashing
obstacles is as simple as riding straight into them. Try
to break as many as you can in succession to receive
maximum bonus Air.
Only Power Type characters (p.18) can access Barricaded areas.
Automatic Trails
Some sections of the race courses are automatically
controlled and require no input from the player.
However, in most cases, you can increase your speed
and Air by rotating the Left Thumbstick clockwise as
quickly as possible during these sections.
Shortcuts
Use of Trick Actions and Character Type Skills (p.18) such as Grinding, can
sometimes allow you to access hidden shortcuts around the course. Make
use of these shortcuts to keep you in the lead.
Only Speed Type characters (p.18) are able to Grind.

Turbulence
Riding Gear at high speed sometimes leaves a trail of
Turbulence behind which can be surfed by other characters. To surf a rival’s Turbulence, approach the trail
from the rear or push into it from the side, and then
duck left and right quickly to increase your speed. If
you can reach the source of the Turbulence, you can
overtake a rival putting you in the lead.
Depending on conditions, Trick Areas may appear in the Turbulence. If
your positioning is correct when these Trick Areas appear, you will automatically perform Trick Actions that increase both speed and Air.

crosses the line first, that team wins. Controls are the same as for the regular game modes. Shortcuts and Type Skills are not available.
During the race, it is important to keep an eye on your teammate's
progress, for if you stray too far apart the player in front will be zapped
and forced to wait until the other catches up. If you stay close together
though, the Air Tank will be slowly topped up. The distance and relative
positions of each member are easily grasped by referring to the Tag
