Original stories
Sonic · Sun-Trap #
Max Gamble sells Casino Night residents a holiday on dangerous Flickies' Island, relying on Robotnik's abandoned traps to keep them in peril. Sonic and Tails disable the defences and return the tourists; when Gamble refuses refunds, Sonic scatters the takings for them to reclaim.

Amy · Following Suit #
In Metropolis Zone, criminals begin robbing shops after Carruthers's break-in, each apparently compelled to follow the last. Amy and Tekno trace the trouble to Alf Garment, whose intelligent suits are directing their wearers, and bring the scheme to an end.
Script: Lew Stringer · B&W art: Carl Flint · Colour: John M. Burns · Letters: Ellie de Ville
Double Sonic · Football Lazy #
Manager Ronnie Dribble steals Sonic's speed and transfers it to Shinpadzio's players for the Mobius Cup final. The team cannot control their borrowed pace and lose 22“0; Sonic escapes and the club's chairman has Dribble prosecuted for disgracing the game.

Reprinted stories
Sonic the Hedgehog · The Sentinel #
The Kintobor Computer spots a vast stone warrior rising from the Aquatic Ruin Zone. Sonic goes alone, clears Whisp Badniks, then nearly drowns under a fallen pillar until the Sentinel itself lifts him free. Built by the Ancient Ones to guard a vanished city, the statue refuses to join the fight against Robotnik and collapses into the sea once its purpose is gone.
