The story prologue found in the digital manual:
A Disturbance on Angel Island
Discovering a sudden dimensional breach in the atmosphere, evil genius Dr. Eggman detected a unique wave signature emanating from Angel Island. Realising that it could be a source of unspeakable power, he immediately dispatched his elite robot minions—the Hard Boiled Heavies (HBH)—to retrieve it.
Meanwhile, Sonic and Tails were also tracking the signal but arrived a little late to the party—the HBH were already there, excavating a mysterious gemstone out of the ground. As they did so, space time suddenly warped around them, catapulting them all to the Green Hill Zone.
As the HBH rush to deliver the gemstone to Dr. Eggman, it’s up to Sonic, Tails & Knuckles to stop them.
Don't let the Phantom Ruby get into the wrong hands!
