Hoverboard

Hoverboards are objects that appear in the Sonic Boom television series. They are a form of hovering skateboards that are used for transportation and racing.

Description
The Hoverboards are skateboard-based equipment which, like their name implies, are capable of hovering above ground or flying through midair. They are highly maneuverable, capable of making sharp 180 degree turns and pulling off acrobatic stunts. They can also move at high speeds, though they are not as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog. Using them effectively requires a great deal of skills and focus however.

The Hoverboards come in various designs, from rustic to high-tech, and can be fitted with armaments for offense while riding them.

Season one
The Hoverboards were used by for the first stage of a race between Fastidious Beaver, Tails and Dr. Eggman as a test to see who was worthy of being Sonic's sidekick. Following a tough race through the jungle (during which Fastidious got knocked out), the contestants left the Hoverboards for the next stage. Eggman would afterwards exhibit his own custom Hoverboard in his lair.

While having a Hoverboard race through the jungle, Sonic and Tails stumbled upon Gogoba Village. After escaping the village, only to meet the Gogobas at home, Sonic and Tails used their Hoverboards to stop a Badnik attack when the Gogobas got in their way.

The Howeverboards would also surface in the Mirror Dimension, where the Knuckles of that reality would use them to rescue her Amy and damage Octopus Bot.

Sonic's Hoverboard
Sonic's Hoverboard is made of yellow wood with a round rear and front, and sides that curve inward. It has a metal strap around the middle and a wired cylinder component on the edge of the rear. It also has a circular metal pad on top of the rear and two hover engines below it.

Tails' Hoverboard
Tails' Hoverboard is made of wood fitted with two propellers for propulsion on the rear. It is fitted with a tailplane at the rear and charged with a counter at the front with stabilizers for rest. It also has a metal square for Tails to maneuver the Hoverboard with.

Dr. Eggman's Hoverboard
Dr. Eggman's Hoverboard is made of sleek metal with a red stripe design down the middle and a red triangular tip at the front. It has circular foot-controls for maneuverability and black, twin-tailplanes. Its underside is black with blue lighting.

Eggman's Hoverboard can deploy round, cylindrical weapons with blue slit-like eyes in their centers. These units can protrude red razor-sharp blades to attack opponents.

Fastidious' Hoverboard
Fastidious' Hoverboard appears to be made just of wood with metal straps for keeping his feet in place. Curiously, it is capable of hovering without any noticeable components, and has no form of propulsion other than gravity.

Knuckles' Hoverboard (Mirror Dimension)
The Mirror Dimension's version of Knuckles rides two Hoverbords for each foot. These Hoverboards are identical in terms of design to the one used by the Sonic Boom World's version of Tails, but with grey boards and red components.

Trivia

 * The Hoverboards bare great resemblance to the Extreme Gears from the Sonic Riders series.
