Sonic Rivals is a 2006 action Platform Game for the PSP, published by Sega and developed by Backbone Entertainment in 2006 (with a sequel, Sonic Rivals 2, released in 2007).

The main objective in these games is to race through each stage and beat your "rival" to the finish line. Stages are broken up by boss fights, where both characters fight against one of Dr. Eggman's^[1] robots, with the winner determined by who can land more hits.

Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, Silver and Metal Sonic are playable in the first game, while Tails, Rouge and Espio are added to the playable roster in the second game.

Tropes used in Sonic Rivals include:

Two Point Five D
Comeback Mechanic: Anyone not in the lead gets his or her top speed increased.
Green Hill Zone: Blue Coast
Heroic Sacrifice: Metal Sonic tears out his processor to save Shadow, trapping Eggman Nega
Hoist by His Own Petard: Eggman Nega unleashes the Ifrit, and upon it's defeat is sealed in the Ifrit's dimension.
Monster of the Week: Ifrit
Mirror Boss: Once a level, actually.
No Export for You: These games were developed in the United States, and were never released in Japan.
No Name Given: Two of the Bosses in Rivals 2.
Omnicidal Maniac: Eggman Nega
Palette Swap: With the exception of super moves, all the characters play exactly alike.
Playing with Fire: Ifrit
Robot Me: Metal Sonic 3.0.
Soundtrack Dissonance: Similar to the US version of Sonic CD, hard rock plays on every level, even the bright and cheery ones.
