Synopsis[]

Sonic and Tails arrive in the Oil Ocean Zone to shut down one of Robotnik's machines, called The Pump. The Pump spews oil into the surrounding water.

After destroying some Octus Badniks, Sonic breaks in through the wall of the Pump, wondering what sort of sophisticated mechanism he'll have to shut off. When he finds a simple lever with the options "On" and "Off", he suddenly gets the feeling that he's been set up... and he has! Although switching the lever to "Off" deactivates the Pump, Robotnik suddenly appears on a video screen, saying that it has activated a Super Bomb that will detonate in just 30 seconds, turning the entire zone into one huge fireball!

Sonic immediately sets to work, dashing between the numerous platforms to try and find the bomb. One false step causes him to slip and plummet over the side, but the stress causes him to transform into Super Sonic, who is determined that Robotnik must not win. Super Sonic finds the bomb, but only some quick words from Tails prevent him from detonating it. It is too late to deactivate it, so instead he flies around it at super speed, encasing it in a cocoon of speed that contains the eventual explosion.

Having transformed back to normal, Sonic asks what happened, since he has no memory of being Super Sonic. Elsewhere, Robotnik vows vengeance!

  • This story was reprinted in the 1995 Sonic Holiday Special.
