Sonic the Fighters

Sonic the Fighters, called Sonic Championship in English, is an arcade game, Released on Sonic Gems Collection.



Story
Doctor Robotnik has released the Death Egg 2, and now Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails must stop him. However, their new airship only supports 1 passenger, and to defeat Eggman they need the 8 Chaos Emeralds (7 in the majority of Sonic continuities). The other wielders are Fang the Sniper, Amy Rose, Knuckles the Echidna, Bark the Polarbear, Bean the Dynamite, and Espio the Chameleon. When arriving at the Death Egg, the heroes get a surprise visit from Metal Sonic. After defeating him, the Death Egg begins to fall apart as Eggman in his mech suit challenges the victor. YOU MUST FINISH THIS ROUND TO COMPLETE THE STORY. Unlike other battles in the game, you only get one shot to take down Eggman.

Characters
All of the heroes containing Chaos Emeralds can be played, as well as Super Sonic in story mode. There are also hacked characters: a Honey prototype, 3 Eggman prototypes (skinny Eggman, Eggman in a UFO and green mech usage), Metal Sonic, the intro's Metal Sonic model (Rocket Metal Sonic), and Eggman's robotic servant from the title sequence.

Trivia

 * A special theme plays when pitting Sonic and Knuckles against each other in either story and versus.
 * Check the sound test. It has a place called Sunset town. There's theme music for the area, but no such area found in the game. Later, a zone called Sunset hill appeared in Sonic Advance 3. This is probably a coincidence.
 * Even in English, the title screen was listed as "Sonic the Fighters". This is an example of how Japanese and American names would slip out on occasion.
 * Amy's snout is apricot in all her promo pics, but white on her playable character.
 * Honey the cat was a character who was going to be in the final game, but scrapped for unknown reasons.
