During ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'', [[Doctor Eggman]] attempts to conquer Little Planet, utilizing [[Metal Sonic]] as his primary minion. In fact, it is one occasion when Robotnik actually succeeds in creating his "[[Eggmanland]] utopia", by using Little Planet's bizarre chronology to invade the planet in the Past so that it would be under his control in the Future. He connects Little Planet to a rock formation carved with his face by means of a massive chain.

In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'', [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Robotnik]] attempted to conquer Little Planet, utilizing [[Metal Sonic]] as his primary minion. To prevent Little Plant from escaping, the doctor connected the planetoid to a rock formation carved with his face by means of a massive chain. Then, by using Little Planet's bizarre chronology to invade the planet in the Past so that it would be under his control in the Future, Robotnik succeeded in creating his "[[Eggmanland]] utopia", turning Little Planet into a mechanized world that acted as Robotnik's new base. The grim future of Little Planet ruled by Robotnik was bleak and mostly in ruins though, with the [[Badnik]]s around the regions broken down and deteriorating.
   
 
Upon discovering Little Planet in its sorry state, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] set off to foil his nemesis's latest scheme. Through destroying Robotnik's [[robot transporter]]s in the past and/or collecting securing Little Planet's [[Time Stone]]s, Sonic managed to liberate the planet from Robotnik, and institute a truly utopian "Good Future".

At the conclusion of the game, Sonic rescues [[Amy Rose]] (who had been kidnapped whilst following Sonic on Little Planet) and lands back on Earth as Robotnik's fortress falls apart around him. As he does so, the chain linking the Little Planet to Sonic's world shatters, allowing Little Planet to rise away from the planet's surface. In the bad ending, it will disappear and later reappear still covered in Eggman's machinery. In the good ending, however, it will be a grassy utopia. It will disappear in a flash resembling Sonic's head, and sparkles will drop down onto the surface of Sonic's world, causing [[Little Planet flowers|flowers]] to immediately grow. In the good ending, the Little Planet does not reappear.

The Little Planet reappears in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II|Sonic the Hedgehog 4]]'', where it has been mechanized by Doctor Eggman to make a new version of the [[Death Egg mk.II|Death Egg]], which can be seen in Act 3 and the boss act of [[Sylvania Castle Zone]] and the boss act of [[White Park Zone]]. The new Death Egg is a hollow sphere built above and around the Little Planet, similar to a Dyson sphere. The hypothetical Dyson sphere is designed to absorb energy from a star; this, presumably, is also the method which Eggman uses to power his latest space station. Sonic and Tails defeat Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic and the [[Death Egg mk.II Zone]]'s power drains out, leaving Little Planet still trapped inside it.

In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II]]'' and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal]]'', Little Planet made its annual return to [[Earth]]. Seeking to retrieve [[Metal Sonic]]'s body in [[Stardust Speedway]], [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] sent a drone to Little Planet and used it to rejuvenate Metal Sonic, whom Eggman then guided back from Little Planet to [[Mad Gear Zone|Eggman's base]] on Earth. Afterward, Eggman began plotting to build a new version of the [[Death Egg]], named the [[Death Egg mk.II]], around Little Planet. Similar to a [[Wikipedia:Dyson sphere|Dyson sphere]], this Death Egg was seemingly designed to absorb the energy of Little Planet; this was apparently the method which Eggman used to power his new space station.
 
Before the events of Episode II, it is shown that Metal Sonic was rejuvenated at [[Stardust Speedway]] and was guided back from the Little Planet to [[Mad Gear Zone|Eggman's base]] in [[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal|Episode Metal]].
 
 
=== ''Sonic Mania'' ===
 
Little Planet appears in ''[[Sonic Mania]]'' as a major locale. Due to the interference of the [[Phantom Ruby]], it reappeared in its mechanized form over Never Lake and in view of [[Angel Island]], chained to the ground. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are transported to [[Stardust Speedway Zone (Sonic Mania)|Stardust Speedway Zone]] following Eggman's defeat at [[Press Garden Zone]], and later traverse [[Metallic Madness Zone]]. Eggman's latest operation, the [[Titanic Monarch Zone|Titanic Monarch]], was also set up here.

By the time Sonic and Tails gave chase to Eggman and Metal Sonic after escaping the exploding [[Sky Fortress Zone|Sky Fortress]], the Death Egg mk.II had been completed, with Little Planet trapped inside it. After getting onboard the Death Egg mk.II though, Sonic and Tails destroyed Eggman's [[Egg Heart|final contraption]], thus triggering a chain reaction that shut down the Death Egg mk.II. However, the space station remained intact, with Little Planet left inside it. Following its natural cycle nonetheless, Little Planet departed Earth and disappeared into space, taking the Death Egg mk.II around it, with it.

At the end of ''Sonic Mania'', Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles destroy the Titanic Monarch, and escape Little Planet with a rocket-powered go-kart. Landing on the outskirts of Never Lake, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles look onward as the Titanic Monarch goes up in flames. If the good ending is achieved, the Titanic Monarch is destroyed, and Sonic and the Phantom Ruby are sucked into an inter-dimensional wormhole while Tails and Knuckles escape Little Planet. On the outskirts of Never Lake, Tails and Knuckles look on towards Little Planet as the chain linking tying Little Planet to the earth shatters, and Little Planet disappears just as Sonic barely escapes the collapsing [[Egg Reverie Zone]].

For other uses, see Little Planet (disambiguation).

The Little Planet[1] (リトルプラネット[2] Ritoru Puranetto?), also known as the Miracle Planet (奇跡の星[2] Kiseki no Hoshi?), is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a satellite with mystical properties that appears above Earth. Accordingly, the Little Planet appears over Never Lake one month out of every year, and vanishes completely for the remaining eleven months. It is unclear precisely where it vanishes to, although its appearance above Earth would suggest that it is in geostationary orbit.

Notable is that the Little Planet is home of the Time Stones, mystical gems with the power to control time. Through the use of Time Warp Plates, it is possible to travel to three distinct time periods on Little Planet - the present, the distant past, and an unspecified point in the future.

According to western sources, the Little Planet is normally covered with lush vegetation including tall trees and flowers.[1]

History

Sonic the Hedgehog CD

Little Planet under Eggman's control

Little Planet under Robtonik's control.

In Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Dr. Robotnik attempted to conquer Little Planet, utilizing Metal Sonic as his primary minion. To prevent Little Plant from escaping, the doctor connected the planetoid to a rock formation carved with his face by means of a massive chain. Then, by using Little Planet's bizarre chronology to invade the planet in the Past so that it would be under his control in the Future, Robotnik succeeded in creating his "Eggmanland utopia", turning Little Planet into a mechanized world that acted as Robotnik's new base. The grim future of Little Planet ruled by Robotnik was bleak and mostly in ruins though, with the Badniks around the regions broken down and deteriorating.

Upon discovering Little Planet in its sorry state, Sonic set off to foil his nemesis's latest scheme. Through destroying Robotnik's robot transporters in the past and/or collecting securing Little Planet's Time Stones, Sonic managed to liberate the planet from Robotnik, and institute a truly utopian "Good Future".

Little Planet restored.

After defeating Robotnik, Sonic rescued Amy Rose (who had been kidnapped whilst following Sonic on Little Planet) and landed back on Earth as Robotnik's fortress fell apart around him. Sonic then broke the chain linking the Little Planet to Sonic's world, allowing Little Planet to rise away from the planet's surface. Now a grassy utopia, Little Planet disappeared in a flash resembling Sonic's head, and sparkles dropped down onto the surface of Sonic's world, causing flowers to immediately grow.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4

Littleplanet4

Little Planet as it appears in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.

In Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II and Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal, Little Planet made its annual return to Earth. Seeking to retrieve Metal Sonic's body in Stardust Speedway, Dr. Eggman sent a drone to Little Planet and used it to rejuvenate Metal Sonic, whom Eggman then guided back from Little Planet to Eggman's base on Earth. Afterward, Eggman began plotting to build a new version of the Death Egg, named the Death Egg mk.II, around Little Planet. Similar to a Dyson sphere, this Death Egg was seemingly designed to absorb the energy of Little Planet; this was apparently the method which Eggman used to power his new space station.

During their adventure to stop Eggman's scheme, Sonic and Tails could see Little Planet in the sky above Sylvania Castle Zone Act 3 and during their battle with the Egg Serpentleaf. When they confronted Metal Sonic at White Park Zone however, they noticed that Eggman had already begun building the Death Egg mk.II around Little Planet. By the time Sonic and Tails gave chase to Eggman and Metal Sonic after escaping the exploding Sky Fortress, the Death Egg mk.II had been completed, with Little Planet trapped inside it. After getting onboard the Death Egg mk.II though, Sonic and Tails destroyed Eggman's final contraption, thus triggering a chain reaction that shut down the Death Egg mk.II. However, the space station remained intact, with Little Planet left inside it. Following its natural cycle nonetheless, Little Planet departed Earth and disappeared into space, taking the Death Egg mk.II around it, with it.

In other media

Sonic the Comic

STC27-MiraclePlanet

Tails and the Miracle Planet from Sonic the Comic #27. Art by Richard Elson.

In Sonic the Comic, the Miracle Planet appeared in the adaptation of Sonic CD, and then made recurring appearances throughout the series. It was consistently referred to as the Miracle Planet, save for a single mention in the backup Sonic's World story of Sonic the Comic #25 ("Prologue: Once Upon a Planet...") that some people know it as the Little Planet.

In its first appearance, Robotnik cyber-formed the entire Miracle Planet to be used as a power source for Metallix, the Metal Sonic. Sonic managed to defeat Metallix and restore the planet to normal by using a Time Stone.[3]

Some time later, the Miracle Planet was taken over by the Brotherhood of Metallix.[4] It was again covered in machinery, this time making it appear like a giant Metallix head, and used as a staging ground for the Metallix's attempts to conquer Mobius. Their plans were thwarted by Sonic and Chaotix,[5] and the Miracle Planet was subsequently returned to normal yet again.[6]

In this continuity, the Miracle Planet appears in the sky over Mobius for three days out of every month, rather than for one month a year as in Sonic CD.[7]

Archie Comics

LittlePlanetArchie

Little Planet, from Sonic the Hedgehog #290.

Little Planet appear in Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series and its spin-offs, although it has yet to be fully introduced. Much like in Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Little Planet is the hosts to the Time Stones, and appears over Never Lake once a year for one month. It is closely kept as secret by citizens of Albion and the current king of Mercia Rob o' the Hedge himself.

As an outcome of the events from Worlds Collide, Little Planet and its history are now nearly identical to its game counterpart.

Trivia

  • In the bad ending of Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Little Planet will disappear in its grassy state and later reappear still covered in Eggman's machinery. In the good ending, however, Little Planet does not reappear.
  • The appearance of the Bad Future of Stardust Speedway in games after Sonic the Hedgehog CD may be a result of Little Planet not following standard rules of time.
