Jet the Hawk as he appears in Sonic Riders with his J-type Extreme Gear

[edit] Background

Jet the Hawk is the leader of the Babylon Rogues. He is an expert thief who uses Extreme Gear to get in and out quickly. He works with Wave the Swallow and Storm the Albatross. They meet Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends while they are stealing the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic tries to catch them on an Extreme Gear, but he is too slow. They are all great with Extreme Gear, so they decided to enter a contest called the Grand Prix. This was a race for people with the Extreme Gear. He tries to win, and he does, but he only wins with help from Wave the Swallow. Soon, he rises the Babylon Garden with the help of the Chaos Emeralds. He escapes, and Sonic and Friends go after him. He uses the J-type Extreme Gear, but he can use many better ones.

[edit] Video Game Appearances

So far, Jet the Hawk has only appeared in two games, Sonic Riders and Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. In both of these, he is rivals with Sonic the Hedgehog. But, in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, he is a friendly rival with Sonic, as they became friends at the end of Sonic Riders. In Sonic Riders, he tries to defeat Sonic and win the Ex World Grand Prix. He wins it, but only by cheating. He raises the Babylon Garden, which is what his dream has been.

[edit] Skills

Jet the Hawk is incredibly quick and uses the J-type Extreme Gear to race. This is a green board that resembles Jet. He is the Speed type. If you are a Speed Type, you can grind rails to use as a shortcut. These rails get you much farther in the race. Sonic can do this as well. As mentioned before, he uses the J-type board. This is his default board. You can then go to the store and buy some new Extreme Gear. This is much faster and it can be used just buy selecting him in vs mode and picking the board. These do cost rings though. The more rings you can get the more boards you can buy. The only way to get rings is to obtain them in races. You can find them in Story Mode or Vs Mode.
