To promote Sonic Riders...they did the closest thing they could find.
They shoved a mascot suit onto this strange hover craft disk! It creates an effect that is absolutely nothing like the game. In fact, this would just look like a Sonic costume at some amusement place, if not for the "Sonic Riders" stickers applied to the sides. These hover-craft disks can be ridden around on smooth floors at some amusement areas. It must be difficult to ride one while also being a mascot. Still, this is interesting to see.
