STORY & CHARACTERS
Dr. Eggman is up to his old tricks again.
And Sonic is right there to stop him!
“Hey Eggman! What have you got planned this time?”
“Hah! Do you think I’m going to tell you that?”
After an exchange of blows, Eggman hastily retreats leaving behind a
mysterious Emerald, quite unlike the Chaos Emeralds.
As Sonic goes to pick it up, it is whisked from under his very nose.
“And that's the second one…”
Mutters the unfamiliar figure of a lady, before quickly vanishing.
“What was THAT about?”
Muses Sonic, as he takes off again on another exciting adventure.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Foot loose and fancy free, his only
gripe is with evildoers. He’s sometimes
quick to anger, but will always lend a
helping hand when somebody's in
trouble. There's no stopping the
world's fastest supersonic hedgehog!
Blaze the Cat
As guardian of the Sol Emeralds, she's currently
hot on the trail of Dr. Eggman who's made off
with them. Blaze is normally calm and levelheaded, but may be concealing her real feelings.
Devoted to her position, she sometimes gets
bogged down by her own strict discipline,
which may explain why she seems a little
withdrawn.

Dr. Eggman
An arrogant self-professed evil scientific genius, with a passion for
robotics, and dreams of enslaving
the world in his own Eggman-land
utopia. His schemes are invariably
foiled by Sonic, but he’s never let
that detail stop him!
Eggman-Nega
His speech and manner is
eerily polite for such a cold
and calculating individual.
On the surface he resembles Eggman, but on the
inside?
Miles "Tails" Prower
A gentle fox with two tails,
he adores Sonic and follows
him around like a kid
brother. In this game, Tails
will support Sonic.
Cream the Rabbit
A rabbit who takes
her friend Cheese
wherever she goes. She
is polite and hardworking.
She can also fly by flapping her
ears. She meets Blaze and
becomes friends, supporting
her in this game.
Amy Rose
She calls herself
Sonic's girlfriend,
and chases him
wherever he
goes. She is
cheerful and
energetic,
strong-willed
and very active.
Knuckles the Echidna
A powerful and spectacular echidna, he is
always ready for a
fight. Being so
straight forward
and earnest, he
is easily fooled.
