Sonic Riders
"From Twin Seeds. Only for a Nightmaren."

- Game description in Sonic Riders.

Description
The Night Sky first appeared in Sonic Riders. According to its profile, the Night Sky originates from the city of Twin Seeds, and that it can only be ridden by a Nightmaren, which is NiGHTS's species. It is obtained in the game, alongside NiGHTS, by completing all of Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow, and Storm the Albatross's missions in Mission Mode.

The Night Sky's design in Sonic Riders is that of a slightly slender board with purple and fuchsia stripes covering most of the main board, with a light purple stripe across the rear, and yellow fins on the sides of the rear.

Abilities and Traits
As a Board type Extreme Gear in Sonic Riders, the Night Sky is well-balanced in its attributes with average statistics and an average rate of fuel-consumption, and is suited for general riding.

Like most other character exclusive Extreme Gears, the Night Sky does not possess any unique abilities.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
"NiGHT's gear is made of dreams given form. It's said it will vanish if people cease to dream."

- Game description in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity.

Description
The Night Sky reappeared later in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. According to its profile, the Night Sky is the dreams of people given physical form. It is said, however, that should people cease to dream, it would cause the Night Sky to disappear. It is obtained in the game, alongside NiGHTS, by clearing all the missions in the Story Mode.

In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, the Night Sky receives a noticeable redesign; rather than its sleek and smooth design in Sonic Riders, it is much more bulky in appearance, almost as if it had been encased in armor, with two fin-like exhaust ports with yellow rims on each side of the rear. It is primarily colored purple, with golden outlines across the main section, and has two orange stars on top which serve as foot panels.

Abilities and Traits
