Wheel


 * For Wheel type Extreme Gears in general, see here.

Wheel is a Gear Part that appears in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. It is an Extreme Gear component that transforms the Extreme Gear into a Wheel type.

Description
Wheel 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 yellow-colored circle with a black Wheel type Extreme Gear inscribed in it.

When used, Wheel changes the Extreme Gear physically into a Wheel type Extreme Gear and gives it the same traits of a Wheel type. This allows the player to smash through obstacles and barricades by driving into them without slowing down, while gaining Gravity Points for each obstacle destroyed. Additionally, Wheel also lets the player use Slide Turn, allowing the player to make sharp turns without Gravity Control.

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

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