The Bot Racers is a group that appears in the Sonic Boom series. It is a term referring to the robot models utilized by Dr. Eggman and Team Sonic for the Bot Racing competition on Thunder Island.
Description
The Bot Racers consist of different robots utilizing the elusive Ragnium mineral as fuel which grants them greater speed and agility, as well as new abilities. Overall, there are the Bot Racers used by Dr. Eggman (collectively referred to as the "EggBot Racers") which consist of Eggman's go-to robot minions, except for Eggman-bot, which have been re-sized and modified for racing competitions, and the Bot Racers used by Team Sonic which consist of robots modeled after the team's individual members. Sonic-bot, Tails-bot, Knuckles-bot and Amy-bot in particular are made by Tails in his Bot Racer Workshop, while Sticks-bot is made by Sticks in her burrow. They are specifically designed for the Bot Racing competitions in Eggman's stadium on Thunder Island.
Overview
In Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, the Bot Racers are the secondary playable characters. Unlike Team Sonic which are playable in most of the levels, the Bot Racers are exclusive to the Bot Racing minigames in the main levels (after they are cleared by Sonic) and on Thunder Island. The EggBot Racers in particular also serve additional roles as the rival opponents in the main levels' Bot Racing minigames. As the player progresses with the game, they will unlock additional Bot Racers to compete with. Different Bot Racers are mostly unlocked in different ways.
In gameplay, the Bot Racers all share the same basic moves, which includes the Air Dash, Double Jump, Fire Mode, Homing Attack, Ice Mode, Sprint and usage of the Enerbeam. However, they have no actions exclusive to themselves. On the other hand, the Bot Racers each have their own statistics which determine how well they perform in gameplay. The higher the statistics, the better the performance.
