Survival Relay is one of three special games in the Survival Mode of Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. It consists of a multiple-lap race where two rival teams race against each other to complete a certain number of laps of a course. It has a similar variation known as Relay Race in Sonic Free Riders.
Gameplay[]
Two to four players may choose one of three ways to play Survival Relay. The matchup chosen will change the number of laps the race will last:
Two human players vs. two CPU-controlled SCR-GP units
Three human players vs. three CPU-controlled SCR-GP units
Two human players vs. two human players
Once a matchup has been chosen, the players may choose any available circuit, followed by their Extreme Gear. The leader is the only one who gets to pick an Extreme Gear for the entire race; the others must use the leader's chosen Extreme Gear in order to compete.
The race starts out and plays in the same way as a normal race in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. The only difference is the addition of a special orange field referred to as a changeover zone that is usually located near the course's finish line. Once the first player enters the changeover zone their character needs to run forward into the next player's character to pass over the Gear to them so that the next player gets to play; only then the lap is completed. Depending on the pace that both players are moving at, the next player can receive bonus Gravity Points upon receiving the Gear. The number of Rings collected, Gravity Points and any activated Gear Parts of an Extreme Gear will pass over to the next player. The team that finishes the race by completing a set number of laps first is the winner.
Trivia[]
SCR-GP and SCR-HD cannot be used by human players in Survival Relay.
Due to Dr. Eggman's mechanics, and the fact that there can be only one Extreme Gear per team, if Dr. Eggman is selected to compete in Survival Relay, the player may only choose Bike or Wheel type Extreme Gear for the team.
Survival Relay shares the most similarities to a normal race in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity out of all the games in Survival Mode.
