The Subway Surfers are the eponymous main protagonists of the game of the same name. They are an adventurous group of rebellious teenagers who are known to partake in mischievous activities. While not being truly evil, they are troublesome pranksters whose actions are sometimes illegal and/or cause danger to themselves or others (such as the guard and his dog).
Biography[]
In the game, the player chooses a character, and that character proceeds to vandalize a train car by spray painting the Subway Surfers' logo onto it. Upon starting the game, the Surfer will be caught in the act by a patrolling guard and his pet dog. The Surfer will flee into the train yard, with the guard and dog giving chase. At this point, it is up to the player to guide their character through the trains, signs, barriers, and tunnels of the endless train yard and subway.
Eventually, the player will make a mistake, causing the run to end. If the character runs into something, the guard will catch up and take the squirming and fighting Surfer away.
If the character fails to avoid a moving train, the train will hit them, causing them to fly into the screen, an action that would presumably kill a normal person. If the guard and the dog have caught up when this happens, they will also get hit. At the end of every run in the menu, the surfer is mysteriously fine, continuing to spray the train again.
Personality[]
All of the Subway Surfers have similar personalities: they are all lighthearted, rebellious, and fun-loving teens with cheerful attitudes and outlooks. However, they are also mischievous, vituperative, and disrespectful to authority and property, caring little for the consequences of their crimes and fleeing at the first sign of being caught. They also seem to be extremely friendly and kind to each other and to the player (who they will occasionally wave or gesture to).
All of the Surfers are also extremely spontaneous, impulsive and reckless. They willingly run into a dangerous and busy train yard, endangering the lives of themselves, the guard, and his dog. While it is obvious that they do not want harm to come to anyone, their dangerous and destructive behavior could result in a potentially deadly scenario.
Powers and Abilities[]
Each Subway Surfer is extremely fast and athletic. They can easily run for extended periods of time without tiring, and they are able to jump, roll, and dodge anything from a stationary barrier to a moving train. They are skilled enough to run on top of a moving train going the opposite direction without issue, and they can easily change directions in midair. All of the Surfers are skilled skateboarders/surfers, so they are able to maintain a steady balance and stamina.
Items[]
The Subway Surfers have items strewn about the subways to aid them:
- Coin Magnets attract coins.
- Jetpacks launch them into the air and forward at incredible speeds.
- x2 Multipliers increase the player's score.
- Power Jumpers propel them high into the air.
- Super Sneakers drastically increase their jump height.
- Hoverboards, the Surfers' signature item, increase their speed and protect them for 30 seconds. Should they crash, the hoverboard will explode and clear a safe area for the Surfer to keep running.
