— In-game description

80s Boulevard is an unlockable track in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. It takes place in a 1980's busy, bustling city covered in references to famous Sega franchises during that period and their successors.

Overview

The track starts in a street whose design is similar to Times Square, located in New York. As the player progresses throughout the course, the track then branches into a four-way crossing crowded with buses (which can be used to induce Meteor Bursts while using Gravity Dive). It then transitions to a subway station where one can either take the opportunity to ride on top of a subway train or take the stairs, where Grind Sections are located.

• Alex Kidd
• Other Sega characters and games during that period

Trivia

• The traffic on this track grant the lowest amount of GP when meteor bursted. When GP is set to "High", they usually only give around 30 GP.
• If one happens to run out of gravity points while on top of the moving subway train, the train moves, but the player does not.
• Above the giant claw machine, after the four-way intersection, you can find Sonic Channel artwork of Sonic.
• The underground subway is called "Sonic Station" if you look at the signs in the subway tunnel.
• One of the missions has Knuckles chasing after a runaway taxi cab. This is most likely a reference to Crazy Taxi.
• A hundred Ring Capsule is located on the wall running section, after the first ramp.
• In a certain barricaded alley (a path reachable using a Bike or Wheel Gear), several posters showing Dr. Eggman and Elise from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) can be found.
