Character conception
Jet was conceived as a rival to Sonic the Hedgehog in the 2006 racing game, Sonic Riders. Known as the "Legendary Wind Rider"[2], Jet believes that while Sonic may be the fastest thing on the ground, he is the fastest in the air due to his revered Extreme Gear skills.
As with the other Babylon Rogues, Jet is takes on an anti-hero role rather than a Dr. Eggman-style villain, attempting to make money by stealing treasure (not dissimilar to the previously introduced Rouge the Bat).
Jet is the second green bird with red shoes to be introduced to the Sonic series, following Bean the Dynamite in 1996's Sonic the Fighters.
