Rapid Dash

Rapid Dash is a Gear Part that appears in Sonic Free Riders. It is an Extreme Gear component that increases the top speed of an Extreme Gear while performing a Kick Dash.

Description
Rapid Dash 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 orange with the image of a person sprinting.

Overview
In gameplay, Rapid Dash is a customizable Gear Part that can only be attached to different Extreme Gears. It can be bought from the shop for 250 Rings.

When in use, Rapid Dash will increase the maximum speed of its Extreme Gear upon performing a Kick Dash until the player deactivates it or finishes the race.

If Rapid Dash is installed into the front slot, it becomes active in gameplay once the race begins. If installed into the rear slot, however, the player can activate, and as well deactivate, Rapid Dash by switching stance by turning his/her body around due to the Kinect controls of the game.
