Reprinted stories
Sonic the Hedgehog · Enter Knuckles, Part 1 #
Robotnik's Death Egg II vanishes mid-descent, and the Kintobor Computer steers Sonic and Tails toward the legendary Floating Island. They touch down in the Marble Garden Zone, smash a wall-carved face that fires arrows, and nearly slide off the rim before Tails hauls Sonic back through an underside tunnel. A spiked Badnik forces Sonic to raise an unfamiliar forcefield, then Robotnik steps between the pillars—only for Knuckles the Echidna, the Island's guardian and new bodyguard, to knock Sonic cold.
