Characters

A example of selecting a character.

Characters (also known as Surfers) are the playable characters that players can play as in Subway Surfers. Most characters in the game are teenagers (or in rare occasions, young adults). Every player starts off with Jake, but they can unlock more with Coins, Event Coins, Keys, Character Tokens, or Hunt Tokens from Season Hunts. There are two types of characters, which are non-limited and limited. Non-limited characters (such as Tricky and Fresh) are always available and can be bought at any time. Limited characters (such as Tony and Carmen) can only be bought for a limited time before going off-sale for a while. Limited characters can become non-limited to the people that unlocked these characters.

Characters in Subway Surfers can have outfits. Some characters have no outfits, while others can have one or two outfits which will change their appearance.

In the beginning of every game, the selected character will vandalize a train by spray painting the Subway Surfers logo while occasionally grabbing an extra spray can from their black bag or waving at the camera. When they are caught by The Inspector and his dog, they will chase the character down the tracks until that character has ran into a train, barrier, pole, etc.

During each first released editions (and some re-releases) will add at least 1 new surfer (or sometimes more) to the game (except and ). Here’s the list of every character and their costs:
