Characteristics
In Sonic Heroes, the assigned element for the Speed Type character is wind. They also have the ability to create tornadoes to attack enemies or to spin up poles. Speed Types are best suited for running long distances and grinding on rails. Seaside Hill, Grand Metropolis, and Rail Canyon are some of the stages that Speed Type characters do great in.
Speed Type characters are the only characters that can grind on rails in Sonic Riders. Though, there are special Extreme Gear that allows characters from other types to grind. In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, grinding is not dependent on the character but the Gear that is used. Air Boards and Air Skates are the only Gear that are capable of grinding.
In Sonic Free Riders, grinding is dependent on both the equipped part, and the character's boarding stance. In story missions, Speed Type characters will have the grind skill set as the primary part. For instance, Sonic can use the grind skill as long as he is in the regular stance. If he switches to "goofy", he will be unable to use the grind skill and will instead use whatever secondary skill he has equipped.
Speed is also a distinctive class in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and its sequel.
