The are Rider-like mimicries categorized outside of the 13 Kamen Riders. Two were known to have been produced - a production model called Alternative and a prototype called Alternative Zero. 
Within the series' narrative, the Alternatives are also referred to by the sub-class of .TV Asahi's page on Alternative (archived)
The two suits were identical except for a few minor differences. Alternative Zero's suit had blue accents and silver cables while Alternative's had orange accents and black cables. Alternative Zero was also decorated with silver stripes labeled "Trial Prototype-00" on both sides of the body. Because they are modeled after crickets, the Alternatives resemble the older Kamen Riders such as Kamen Rider V3 and Kamen Rider Super-1 in terms of appearance.
==History==
===Original series===
Alternative and Alternative Zero's true identities were, respectively, Hajime Nakamura and Hideyuki Kagawa. Along with Kamen Rider Tiger, the two were fighting to close the Mirror World and opposed Shiro Kanzaki's Rider War.
Alternative Zero and Alternative were both killed the same way - Tojo betrayed them and destroyed their decks, causing them to dissolve in the Mirror World.
===Kamen Rider Ryuki: World of If===
Hideyuki Kagawa, as Alternative Zero, shows up with an army of twelve Alternatives in order to destroy Ryuga. As they prepare to attack Ryuga, Yui Kanzaki shows up. Kagawa laughs, saying Yui is the source of all their troubles and if she dies everything will end. They attack her instead, but Ryuga, having his sanity returned, shields her, reverting to human form and dying. Kagawa is shocked that there's "a Kamen Rider who would give up their life for someone". Yui says she has a favor to ask of him.
===Kamen Rider Decade===
In Kamen Rider Decade, Alternative is an enforcer of the Dark Riders who appeared in the World of Negatives alongside Ryuga, Orga, Dark Kabuto and Dark Kiva. He was later killed by Kamen Rider Diend. Curiously, even though his suit was identical to Alternative Zero's, the character is officially identified only as Pseudo Rider Alternativehttp://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/decade/arworld/index.html.
