Sonic Riders seriesEdit

In the Sonic Riders series, Speed Type characters are able to utilize grind rails for shortcuts and alternate paths that would be otherwise inaccessible. In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, characters were no longer defined by ability types, instead each Extreme Gear had an ability type depending on the gear type; skate gear could grind on rails and board types could level up to grind on rails. However, each character's starting gear appears to refer to their ability type. Sonic Free Riders reverts to the Sonic Riders method.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games seriesEdit

In the Mario & Sonic series, the Speed type is one of the four character types, along side the Power, Skill, and All-around types. Speed characters are best suited for races, track events as well as other speed-based events. Although unplayable, Jet the Hawk and Big Bullet Bill appear as Speed Type rival characters.
