Roots
A 3-part Sonic adventure, co-starring the Chaotix Crew. Written by Nigel Kitching, drawn by Richard Elson and lettered by Ellie de Ville, this final part saw Sonic face his mind-controlled friends (and against Blockhead Bill and Society Max). Making light work of them, Sonic squares up to Root, discovering his powerful appearance doesn't accurately represent the villain's true identity.

The Take-Over
A 4-part Knuckles adventure, and the last in STC's print run. The story was provided by Kitching, art by Nigel Dobbyn and lettering by Tom Frame and saw the intruders, Ms Alpha, Mr Beta, Mr Delta and Mr Gamma, face off with Knuckles one final time. With the echidna seemingly beaten, it's left to Porker Lewis and the Guardian Robots to deal with the threat.

Doctor Genius
Starring Tails and the eponymous villain of the week. The story is written by Lew Stringer, drawn by Mick McMahon and lettered by Gordon Robson and follows "Doctor Genius", a mad scientist who invented a forcefield designed to stop Tails from beating him. Unfortunately, it stopped him picking up the money in a failed bank robbery and he ended up in prison.
