Abilities and traits
As a Skate-type Extreme Gear in Sonic Riders , the Darkness is less powerful than most Extreme Gears, but is also more agile and more fuel-efficient.
The Darkness consumes much less of the Air in its Air Tank than even the regular Skate type Extreme Gear when in use, both when riding it normally or when performing moves such as Air Slide or Air Boost , allowing it to boost more times than most Extreme Gear can before running out of Air.
