- Not to be confused with Southern Island. For other uses, see South Island (disambiguation).
South Island (サウスアイランド Sausu Airando?) is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is an island that is known to be a treasure trove of gems and ancient ruins, that supposedly shifts along the water due to some connection to the Chaos Emeralds.[2]
Description[]
South Island is a landmass that floats over a rich ocean.[3][4] Described as a peaceful island,[5] South Island is a paradise blessed with abundant nature. Its fauna is mainly composed of non-anthropomorphic Animals. Its flora, however, is much more diverse and abstract; one area in particular holds many kinds of flowers that move, almost as if they were dancing, alongside tall palm trees with spiked coconuts. Topographically, South Island's terrain quickly elevates from south to north, with the southern regions being plateau-like and very low in altitude. Which hold massive mountains, jungles and Huge waterfalls.[6] The island also has a lake archipelago that flows from the northern mountains to the south east of the island, with many tall islets found on it.[7] Despite its abundance in nature, South Island also holds many artificial territories, which include large metropolises and massive industrial complexes. Additionally, it is a treasure trove of ancient ruins, with several locations holding temples.
Many legends claim that South Island has had connections with the Chaos Emeralds since ancient times, though the accuracy of such affirmations cannot be guaranteed.[2] Such mythos also say that the island creates distortions that cause the Emeralds to exist[2] and that it floats thanks to Chaos Emerald energy; as a result, if at least one Emerald gets stolen, South Island will eventually sink into the sea unless all the Emeralds are reunited.[3]
History[]
Classic Era[]
Death Egg saga[]
Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)[]
In the 16-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), and its numerous ports and remasters, the evil Dr. Ivo Robotnik, also known as "Eggman", arrived on South Island with his army to get the Chaos Emeralds, spoken of in the legends surrounding the island, to power his empire.[2][8] Setting up a huge fortress on the corner of South Island, the doctor began his hunt for the Emeralds, even if he had to tear the whole island up to find them.[2]

As the local Animals on South Island started to mysteriously disappear,[9] Sonic the Hedgehog rushed to the island upon learning of Eggman's operations. There, he encountered the doctor, who revealed that he was kidnapping the Animals in order to use them to power his Badniks.[2] To stop his nemesis, the hedgehog embarked on a journey across South Island to secure the Chaos Emeralds.[9] As he traveled through the various Zones on the island, he was able to gather the six Emeralds, defeat Eggman in several encounters, and free the Animals from the Badniks. Eventually, Sonic infiltrated Scrap Brain Zone, the doctor's stronghold, where he triumphed over his final weapon. As Eggman attempted to escape however, Sonic made his Egg Mobile crash with the doctor in it.
With South Island saved, Sonic went back to Green Hill, where he reunited with the various Animals as they celebrated his victory over Eggman.[9] Amidst this, the Chaos Emeralds' power filled the Zone with flowers.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit)[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit), Dr. Eggman returned and kidnapped all South Island's inhabitants, along with Miles "Tails" Prower, demanding a ransom of six Chaos Emeralds to return them.[10] Upon discovering this, Sonic went out to stop the doctor once again. After the hedgehog successfully defeated the villain on the island, Tails was freed from captivity.
Sonic Chaos[]
In Sonic Chaos, Dr. Eggman stole one of the Chaos Emeralds on South Island. As a result, the rest of the Emeralds became unbalanced, causing South Island to slowly sink into the ocean.[3] However, Sonic and Tails managed to recover all the Emeralds and save the island after defeating Eggman.

In Sonic Labyrinth, while Sonic was resting somewhere on South Island, his shoes were replaced with Dr. Eggman's Slow Down Boots, eliminating his super speed. After this success, the doctor quickly began construction on a Super Labyrinth-based Eggmanland nearby and found the Chaos Emeralds.[11] Despite his limited movement, however, the hedgehog broke into this new fortress and claimed the Emeralds to get rid of the fake boots while his nemesis escaped.
Sonic the Fighters[]

In Sonic the Fighters, a section of South Island was used as a fighting arena for a fighting tournament. The arena was set on a small island plateau, in an area that looked mostly like Green Hill, and served as the home field for Knuckles the Echidna. The victor of the fighting tournament fought their first round here in order to earn the right to use the Lunar Fox for a mission to destroy the Death Egg II.

Along the way, the heroic trio got ambushed by Dr. Eggman and his Death Egg Robot.

Modern Era[]
Sonic Generations[]
In the console/PC version and Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations, as a side-effect of the Time Eater's time-traveling, a past version of South Island's Green Hill got transported to White Space where it was drained of color and life.
After ending up in White Space, Modern Sonic paid a visit to Green Hill. By speeding through Green Hill, Sonic was able to fix space, thereby restoring Green Hill from its lifeless state. When the Time Eater later got destroyed, Green Hill was seemingly return to its rightful place in the timeline on South Island.
Sonic Forces[]
In Sonic Forces, South Island's Green Hill, as well as the locations within it, got changed for the worse by Dr. Eggman's industrial projects. Because of Eggman, the area would undergo heavy desertification, causing Sandworms to infest the area.
Shortly before the War to Take Back the Planet, Sonic took a trip through Green Hill before being called in to defend the City. When Eggman later seized control over the globe, he conquered South Island as well. However, thanks to the efforts of the Resistance, the Eggman Army eventually withdrew from the area.

Trivia[]
- In Sonic Forces, one can see on the world map that Green Hill covers a significant part of the island, leaving no room for the other zones depicted in other Sonic games. However, this is likely due to presentation reasons and is not intended to be an accurate map of earth, much like how the continents in Sonic Unleashed do not match up with world maps from previous games.
