Mobius Strip

Mobius Strip is the final level in the Babylon Story in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. It features the boss fight against Master Core: ABIS.

Story
One MeteorTech Robot stole all the Arks of the Cosmos! He has turned into a giant, powerful robot and the Babylon Garden is causing a black hole to appear which can consume the whole planet! Turn the Babylon Garden's core off and shut it down!

Overview
This level is the only boss level which does not allow you to take control of your gravity actions since you don't have the Ark of the Cosmos. You (the player) are the only one that is fast enough to run through Master Core: ABIS and destroy him for good. This is a very simple track with almost no obstacles and only four jumps to build up Gravity Points. There is also a rail and flight pads for those with the right gear to use for more points.

As the players race along the level, Master Core: ABIS will try and attack the player. During the first lap, he will do nothing. The second lap has him hurling electric bolts that riders with Bike and Wheel Gear can knock back for Gravity Points. The third lap will have him forming large meteors and throwing them onto the track, creating explosions.

Twice per lap, Gravity Control automatically activates and hurls the player as usual. Using the lifted floor tiles, the player must grind to Master Core: ABIS and hit it before their Gravity Points wear off. Once he has been twice in one lap, the next one begins until the designated number of laps has passed and destroys the boss.

Musical Themes
The music played in this level is entitled "The Core".

Trivia

 * The player can not use the Chaos Emerald (Extreme Gear) in this stage.
 * Amy is not present in this race, even though she was in the race before it, and the cutscene did not give any reason why she wouldn't be in the final race.
 * The area could be a reference to the planet Mobius, Sonic's planet in the comics and television shows (not including Sonic X). The reason is that the area is in a black hole in Sonic's world and that the black hole could suck up areas of Sonic's world, so the area could be just a strip of Sonic's planet. However, this could be false because Sonic's planet in the games is called Earth, like our planet.

Etymology
A Möbius Strip is a mathematically non-orientable surface. In a technical sense, a Möbius Strip is an object with one side and one edge. Moving along a Möbius Strip, one will pass the same point of the strip twice (once on either side) before returning to the starting point. This makes sense, as the player needs to hit Master Core: ABIS twice per lap to advance to the next lap.
