The Spacebird 42 is a vehicle from the Space Channel 5 series. It is Pudding's personal vehicle, and a race car in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed used for racing competitions.
Description
The Spacebird 42 is a green and yellow vehicle. It was designed to look like a bird, as it was originally just a hovercraft. It made its debut in the Sonic series in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed as Pudding's personal vehicle on the racetrack. On the sides of the vehicle, it bears a yellow "42", signifying Pudding's relations with Channel 42.
Pudding's vehicle has different appearances while in different modes:
- Boat Mode: As a boat, Pudding's vehicle becomes more curvy towards the bottom in an upright position, poking up from the water.
- Car Mode: As a car, Pudding gains a set of four blue wheels, having the Space Channel 5 logos written in yellow print all around it. The Spacebird's blue "beak" will also open.
- Plane Mode: As a plane, Pudding's vehicle appears to look almost like her original vehicle, except she sits inside and not on the outside like a bike. The Spacebird's blue "beak" will also open.
