In the history of Sonic's world, the Babylonians were a technologicly advanced civilization whose legacy forms the basis for the storylines of Sonic Riders and Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. They were the creators of Babylon Garden and the Arks of the Cosmos, as well as an early form of Extreme Gear. The Babylon Rogues believe themselves to be descended from ancient Babylonians.
Riders Series
In Sonic Riders, Tails recounts an old legend that the Babylonians were cast down from the sky and scattered because they had angered the Gods. Zero Gravity reveals the hidden truth behind this myth: that the Babylonians had an extraterrestrial origin, and travelled to Sonic's world aboard a starship (Astral Babylon) before being forced to crash-land on the planet because of a drive instability.
As their ancient simulation, Angelus the Gatekeeper, indicates, the ancient Babylonians resembled birds crossed with genies, and as the song Catch Me If You Can says "bred from a genie with wings and throne" Amy speculates that the tradition of "wishing upon a star" may have originated from the grounded Babylonians' yearning to return to space and get back ot their home world.
Rush Series
In Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic and Tails explore the parallel Sol Dimension where Blaze and Marine live. Tantalising hints from an ancient civilization can be found around the Hidden Islands of the game's vast ocean - the most concrete of which comes in the form of a lost floating city, Sky Babylon. One of their ancient altars raises Coral Cave - resting place of the Jewelled Scepter - from the sea, and their old writings indicate that they built the submarine defences beneath what has become Captain Whisker's Pirates' Island.
The name "Sky Babylon" in particular implies that these ancient works may be from the Sol Dimension counterparts of Sonic's world's Babylonians.
