Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is a hoverboard racing video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the PlayStation 2 and Wii. It is the fifth racing game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, following Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic R and its predecessor, Sonic Riders. This game is the second chapter of the Sonic Riders Series. A sequel, titled Sonic Free Riders, was released for the Xbox 360 in 2010.
The Story is split into two halves, the Heroes Story (Team Sonic), and Babylon Story (Babylon Rogues). Although the stories start separately, they overlap each other, telling the story as the main characters within that story see it. Following the format of Sonic Riders, Babylon Story also includes an epilogue that expands past the Heroes Story leading to the last course.
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are alerted to robots that are attacking a famous city of the future. They set out to retrieve a legendary artifact that has the ability to control gravity. Along the way they discover surprises, including the return of the Babylon Rogues, a group of avian thieves who are also after the artifacts. This sets off a war to decide who gets the artifact, leading them to settle their dispute by having an Extreme Gear competition.
Toward the end of the Heroes story, Sonic and friends discover that Eggman had created the robots, but they had gone berserk due to a malfunction. Helping Eggman regain control of his robots he attempts to use the power of the artifacts to control his machines at will from his secret base. Sonic and friends along with the Babylon Rogues destroy it.
During the Babyon Rogues story, Jet, Wave, and Storm discover that the artifacts are attracted by each other and have the power to raise an ancient Babylon city. During the game, Jet and Sonic both stop Eggman from using the artifacts to control his robots. However, due to a distortion, as the Babylon city begins to float into the sky, the artifacts power becomes corrupted and opens up a black hole which could vacuum in the whole world. Jet, Sonic, and the rest of the gang fly to the Babylon city to fight the Boss of the game.
