On the Floating Island, Knuckles is found by Catweazle who tells Knuckles that his mum is getting remarried and that he spotted egg shaped pods that he believes are Overlanders. It turns out that Catweazle is pointing at Sally's ship where NICOLE is guilding her down to the Floating Island.

Trivia

 * Sallysappearances.png of the in-jokes is the fact that Sally fell into a chemical bath on a mission that turned her fur orange, and her hair yellow. This is the colour she had in the earliest Sonic mini-series before the main. Sally then scrubbing the chemicals out of her fur and hair, she was changed again with pink fur and black hair. She appeared like this in the rest of the Sonic mini-series and the classic issues of Archie Sonic the Hedgehog until her fur and hair was changed brown. The editor even puts in this joke "And you thought we coloured Sally wrong back then".
