Metal City

Metal City is a city in the video game Sonic Riders.

History

In the opening movie for Story Mode, it is evening as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are searching for the precious Chaos Emeralds in Metal City. Tails notices that the Emerald Radar he invented has been jammed, and at that same moment, Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow and Storm the Albatross appear. The Emerald Radar beeps like mad, and Tails realizes that Jet has the Chaos Emerald! Sonic and Knuckles knock Storm off his airboard, and Sonic uses it to chase Jet and Wave, thus starting the "Night Chase" race in the Babylon Story. Jet wins in the race and uses the wake of his speed to send Sonic flying, along with the yellow board. Tails notices a strange symbol, and the Babylon Rogues escape, Storm holding onto Wave's board. When Storm reclaims his Extreme Gear, they all flee.

The next day, Team Sonic are in Metal City, and Dr. Eggman appears on a monitor. Eggman announces a special race called the EX World Grand Prix, and that the participants must race on Extreme Gear. Sonic wonders what Eggman's scheme is this time, but when Eggman announces the current participants to be the Babylon Rogues, the hedgehog with an attitude changes his mind!

Metal City is also featured as a race course, complete with obstacles such as trucks and automobiles. The Night Chase track contains police cars (to fit with the fact that GUN is chasing the Babylon Rogues) and trucks. It is possibly a part of a larger city called "Future City".

Trivia

• Many fans believe that Grand Metropolis and Power Plant from Sonic Heroes are actually Metal City, as they are all futuristic, have floating vehicles and similar places.
