The English story prologue found in the English digital manuals:
- West Side Island: Once home, according to legend, to an advanced civilization whose people flourished by harnessing the immesurable power of the mysterious stones!
- But in their hubris and greed, they took the stones for granted once too often. Their civilization was reduced to dust. Now all that remains are lush green meadows and deep memories.
- It was within these lush meadows that Sonic was enjoying a few days off during one of his impromptu adventures. The creatures of the island had proven very friendly, specially a young two-tailed fox he'd discovered following him everywhere he went.
- Miles 'Tails' Prower was his name. He wasn't always the most popular kid, but he knew right away that if he hung around with Sonic, he would be the coolest fox ever!
- He had even mastered the Spin Dash!
- Suddenly, an explosion rung forth in a nearby forest, followed by a rising pillar of fire, with soot and rubble thrown this way and that! As the flames died down, Sonic heard a familiar high pitched laugh echo through the burning trees.
- It was Dr. Eggman, gloating to his minions!
- From his impassioned rantings, they learned that Sonic had inadvertently lead him straight to the resting ground of the seven fabled Chaos Emeralds. He only needed to uncover them all, and he would have the power to create the ultimate weapon: the Death Egg! And with that he would finally conquer the world!
- Sonic and his new friend Tails knew they had to stop this diabolical scheme, but how? What could they do?
- Well how do you start any adventure?!
- You get up off the floor and RUN!
