'80s Boulevard
Description
1980s busy, bustling city
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.

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.
