Sonic Riders
The Type-W first appeared when it was used by Wave to battle Sonic the Hedgehog, along with Jet the Hawk and Storm the Albatross. Using the Type-W, which was foreign technology to Sonic, Wave and her team were able to defeat Sonic in their first confrontation. The next day, however, when the Babylon Rogues arrived to destroy Knothole, Wave was attacked by Sonic, Knuckles the Echidna and Miles "Tails" Prower, who had required their own Extreme Gear. With his Extreme Gear, Tails was able to combat Wave on her Type-W, and eventually managed to drive off the Babylon Rogues, with the help of Sonic and Knuckles.
