The Hovercraft (きんとうん Kinto'un?) is a Board type Extreme Gear that appeared in Sonic Riders.
Description
According to its profile, the Hovercraft was once used on a grand adventure. It can be purchased at the shop for 1,500 Rings from the beginning of the game.
The Hovercraft has a rather simple design, closely resembling a single white cloud.
Abilities and traits
As a Board-type Extreme Gear in Sonic Riders, the Hovercraft is well-balanced in its attributes with average statistics with an average rate of fuel-consumption and is suited for general riding.
When charging up a jump with the Hovercraft, the slowdown from doing so is minimal compared to other Extreme Gear. Also, despite its high stats, the Hovercraft is very difficult to control properly due to its poor turning skills; when turning using this Gear, the Hovercraft oversteers and trying to turn in the opposite direction will not be registered for almost a full second. It also consumes more Air when performing Air Boosts with it compared to other Extreme Gear.
