Plot

Notice: This product was only released in Japan and does not have an official English translation.

The story begins with the Tornado arriving to the Northstar Islands. Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower discovered the island and Sonic immediately ran ahead, running through loops and encountering Badniks. Sonic continued running till his high speed ran into a strange islander, Trip the Sungazer.

Sonic tried to interact with the shy Sungazer but she ran away. Tails caught up and Sonic and Tails began to discuss something before Doctor Eggman started causing loud trouble with the critters. Sonic ran over to help them but Dr. Eggman was armed with his Bridge Island Zone boss* mech. He threaten a Flicky and smashed Sonic against a wall. Sonic was down for the count, before the Chaos Emerald appeared and allowed Sonic to access a new Emerald Power to summon multiple copies to take down the mech. Dr. Eggman was forced to leave, licking his wounds for another day.

Sensing a new adventure, Sonic and Tails contacted Knuckles the Echidna and Amy Rose to tag along. In the meantime, Dr. Eggman grumbled over another loss, when Fang the Hunter and Trip entered his base. Dr. Eggman gave him money and requested Fang hunt down a Black Dragon somewhere on the Northstar Islands. Dr. Eggman looked to his monitor, noting Sonic was approaching.
