Westside Island is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is an island in the Acorn Archipelago that hosts Mobotropolis, the capital of the Kingdom of Acorn.[1]

Description[]

Westside Island is a tropical island, and is where Mobotropolis, the capital of the Kingdom of Acorn, is located.[1] Various locations exist on Westside Island, including green fields, facilities, and caves.

History[]

Past[]

It is said that a long time ago, Westside Island was the place of an ancient civilization that would use the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds to achieve peace and prosperity. However, when some individuals corrupt with power attempted to use the Emeralds with bad intentions, this civilization was instaneosly wiped up by the gods. Following this tragedy, their only remains would only be found at the Aquatic Ruins Zone.[2]

For some time, Westside Island has been a part of the Kingdom of Acorn, which would peacefully rule the island.[1] During Nigel Acorn's reign, the evil scientist Dr. Ivo Robotnik, with help from Julian Snively and Royal Wizard Walter Naugus, was able to send Nigel and Walter to the Special Zone. After this, Robotnik took over the Kingdom of Acorn, and Westside Island by extension.[3][4][5][6] During this period, the doctor sabotaged Professor Charles the Hedgehog's Roboticizer, which he used to roboticize various of the inhabitants of the island, specially those from Mobotropolis, to create a personal army of servants. Those who survived would escape to Knothole Village, where they would continue with their lives. Amongst those refugees was Miles Prower, who soon became a target of bullying due to his two tails, earning him the nickname "Tails", until a hedgehog by the name of Sonic the Hedgehog came to the island and inspired him to be a hero.[7][2][8] Meanwhile, Robotnik would eventually scrap his roboticized army in favor of the similar Badnik Horde.[9]

Over time, Dr. Robotnik would exploit the resources of Westside Island and the nearby South Island for a plan to dominate the world. It would be on Westside Island where he built the Chemical Plant Zone refinery, and where he began construction of the Death Egg.[3]

Eventually however, Robotnik, now under the alias of "Dr. Eggman", would be pushed back by his soon-to-become nemesis Sonic. During this, the hedgehog also rescued Walter Naugus (disguised as Nigel Acorn) from the Special Zone. After defeating the doctor on South Island, freeing the island from his rule,[10][11] Sonic would reunite with his friends and "Nigel" at Knothole Village. This would later inspire his friends to form the Freedom Fighter group to oppose Eggman's reign.[11] Shortly after, when Eggman was about to launch the Death Egg, Sonic, with the aid of Tails, traveled across Westside Island, freeing the multiple locations of the island from the doctor's rule, restoring peace to Westside Island.[2] After stopping Eggman, Sonic and his friends would rescue the actual Nigel Acorn and defeat Naugus.[12]

Following a later incident, Cream and her family would take residence on Westside Island. More recently, Sonic and a past version of himself visited various locations from Westside Island during an incident involving the Time Eater.[13][14] After this, Naugus secretly overthrew King Acorn, before Eggman initiated the second Genesis Wave on Sonic's World.[12][15]
