"By Robotnik Corp. Speed type for Sonic"

- Description in Sonic Riders.

The Blue Star II (ブルースターII) is a board type Extreme Gear that appeared in Sonic Riders. It is created by Miles "Tails" Prower, and is used exclusive by Sonic the Hedgehog. It is an upgraded version of the original Blue Star. It is unlocked in the game after Sonic defeats Jet the Hawk at Babylon Garden in Story Mode.

History
The Blue Star II was created by Tails at some point prior to the finals in the EX World Grand Prix. When Dr. Eggman stole the Key to Babylon Garden and headed to Babylon Garden to claim its treasure, Team Sonic pursued the doctor. When Sonic finally located the doctor, he was about follow him on foot, but was then given the Blue Star II by Tails to use, saying that he had prepared it just in case something like this happened. Thanking Tails for the new Extreme Gear, Sonic used the Blue Star II to pursue Eggman. As the same time, however, Sonic found himself facing Jet the Hawk, as Jet was after the doctor as well. Seeing this as a rematch for the finals, Sonic engaged Jet in a race to the doctor with the Blue Star II, and eventually claimed victory.

Description
As the Blue Star serve as a template for this Extreme Gear, the Blue Star II strongly resembles the latter, except it has a sleeker and longer design, with double exhaust ports. In comparison to the Blue Star, the Blue Star II focuses more on speed, but lacks greater movement control.
