February 27, 2006
- Fully completed Sonic Riders Extreme Gear Guide

@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@
@                               1) Introduction                              @
@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@

After buying Mario Party 7 (and was extremely disappointed in doing so), I
completely forgot that Sonic Riders was coming out.  In fact, I did not
remember that was was coming out until one day before the shipping date.
I was skeptical of this game's awesomeness when I bought it for $39.99, but I
didn't "give up hope" that quickly, and I am glad that I didn't.  I do not
have the time to make a full-blown FAQ of Sonic Riders, but I felt that I
needed to contribute something to help the GameFAQs community.  I received
many good comments about my Sonic Advance 3 Special Stage FAQ, so now I am
presenting this guide.  I am hoping that this guide will give you a better
idea on what obtainable items (called "extreme gear") are in this game.
