Parts Lock (Gear Part)

Parts Lock is a Gear Part that appears in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. It is an Extreme Gear component that grants Part Lock to opponents and prevents their GP actions.

Description
Parts Lock is an installable performance-enhancing component for Extreme Gears. Its actual appearance is unknown, though it is presented as an icon on the head-up display in the top-left corner of the game screen. Its icon is a red-colored circle with a black Board type Extreme Gear, which has a 'X' across it, inscribed in it.

When used, Parts Lock grants the obstacle of the same name, which prevents the target from using their Gear Parts, to all the opponents participating in the same race with the player. Like when obtaining it from an Item Box, however, the effect of the Park Lock obstacle granted by the Parks Lock Gear Part only lasts for a limited time. Additionally, Parts Lock prevents the opponents in the race with the player from using Gravity Control and Gravity Dive.

In gameplay, Parts Lock and its ability will be inactive at the start of the race. To activate Parts Lock, the player must press one of the following buttons after collecting a certain amount of Rings:

When activating Parts Lock, the Extreme Gear is surrounded by an orange void, indicating that the Gear Part's ability is in effect.
