Zebra Sonic

Zebra Sonic is a unlockable character in Sonic Speed Simulator. He wears black and white striped shoes, gloves, and a shirt, with some black sunglasses and a silver lightning bolt necklace.
== Appearance ==
Zebra Sonic's appearance has been stated to be loosely based on the Zebra Shoes and Gloves from Sonic Colors Ultimate, however upon first being seen in-game fans were quick to point out the skin could very likely be a reference to Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 5, who not only has an unlockable Zebra Suit (called 'Chris Outfit (Safari)', but is also voiced by Roger Craig Smith, the same current voice actor for Sonic.
==Obtaining==
Zebra Sonic can be obtained in the Zebra Sonic Event, you unlock him by completing all 5 tasks, which are as follows:
* Collect 1,000 Chaos Orbs
* 600 seconds of Boost Time
* Complete 5 Races
* Earn 25,000 Rail Grind points
* Destroy 500 Badniks
==History==

==Trivia==
* Zebra Sonic possesses many unique qualities as of his release, with all new animations and a special Zebra stripe aura effect for his boost and other actions.
* Zebra Sonic is one of the only skins in the game to have a changing mouth, seen during his idle animation where he uses a more serious face, before switching back to his smirk. The only other character with this trait is Classic Tails.
* His idle stance references Sonic's idle in Sonic Rush.
* His idle animation makes reference to Sonic's idle from Sonic Battle.
* His diagonal spring animation directly references the Long Wind Jump trick animation from Sonic Advance 2 and 3.
* His falling animation bears a resemblance to many throughout the series, but sticking with the Advance references it is likely a reference to the end of Sonic's Back Star trick, or the ending cutscene of Sonic Advance 2.
* Zebra Sonic's render has him striking a pose very similar to that of the battle stance Sonic takes when Eggman appears in Pyramid Cave, right before Sonic's Egg Golem fight in Sonic Adventure 2.
* Zebra Sonic shares several animations and his character portrait with Racesuit Sonic, implying that they used Racesuit Sonic as a base for the skin.
* Currently the last sonic variant to feature the Original head model before being replace with the new one that was featured starting with Tuxedo Sonic
