Synopsis[]
After Sonic has had this morning run with Cheese, Cheese goes back to Cream completely green. Tails diagnoses that Cheese has been exposed to Sonic's speed trait and has turned green temporarily. Chris comes in wearing a green shirt, and Amy with a green hairband. Chris tells Sonic that it's St. Patrick's day and Amy threatens that Sonic has to wear green or she will pinch him.
At Dr. Eggman's base, Eggman is confused about St Patrick's day and is told about it by Decoe and Bocoe. Eggman, reading about leprechauns, decides to catch one in order to get its gold. Eggman then chases Bokkun, who is completely green because of a painting accident.
Later at a St. Patrick's parade, Chris, Chuck, Sonic, Cream, Cheese, Vanilla, Amy, and Tails are watching the parade all wearing green (Sonic and Tails wearing a four-leaf clover badge, Vanilla a big green hat and Cream a green tie instead of blue). Bokkun enters from above and grabs Cheese thinking he is a leprechaun. Bokkun, begging Sonic for his protection, are noticed by Dr. Eggman in a giant leprechaun robot. Eggman sends robot shamrocks to search for the leprechaun while both Bokkun and Cheese flee in panic.
Cream flies up to Cheese to calm him down, flying around to protect her. Bokkun not wanting to be taken throws bombs at some of the shamrocks and hits a bomb at a balloon over the robot to distract it. Sonic begins attacking the robot succeeding until it rains. Because of Cream flying, Cheese goes back to normal because of the flying trait and the paint is washed off Bokkun.
Sonic struggling to battle on the wet robot, slips into the robot's grasp. The rain stops and there's a rainbow overhead. Chris yells at Eggman that leprechauns live at the end of the rainbow. Eggman dumps Sonic and flies to the rainbow.
Sonic and his friends celebrate with green sodas until Amy notices that Sonic lost his badge and begins chasing him to pinch him while Eggman is still trying to dig for the leprechaun at the end of the rainbow.

Trivia[]
- In the issue, Cheese turned green after hanging out with Sonic. This may be a reference to the fact that in Sonic Adventure, Chao that have been exposed to lots of run-stat Animals turn green.
- This may also be a reference to Sonic Adventure 2 where green Chaos Drives increased the Run stat of a Chao.
- When Sonic tells to the readers what will happen in the next issue, he says, "That's all, folks!", a reference to the Looney Tunes' ending slogan.
