The wheels of the vehicle are also black with red wheel covers.
- Plane mode: In its plane form, the Speed Star resembles a fighter jet, with a more streamlined, triangular shape including flat, angled wings across each side of the vehicle and a nose cone with two turbine engines attached.
- Boat mode: In its boat form, the Speed Star resembles a speedboat, with two bright red motors on the back and a large fin on the back resembling one of Sonic's quills.
