1. Sonic the Hedgehog · The Return of Chaotix, Part 1 #

   Sonic waits at Never Lake for the Miracle Planet's monthly return and greets Porker Lewis on the giant chain after a month alone; Porker insists he is unhurt, though his manner is oddly stiff. Chaotix arrive via the Omni-Viewer, smash Special Badnik Service tanks with Sonic's help, and warn of a Metallix scheme Sonic believes already finished. Omni then peels away an energy screen: the planet's green-and-blue look was an illusion, and it now stares down as a vast Metallix head.

   First appeared in issue 67.

2. Knuckles · The Graveyard, Part 1 #

   Poncho-clad Knuckles treks through a sandstorm toward the Kohenyu Graveyard, the one Floating Island site he has never visited, hoping to claim a raw Emerald for the Master Emerald power now held in a Guardian robot's head. Climbing the chasm when winds forbid a glide, a rockfall strips his gas mask and a Poison Dryalid douses him. Through the haze the Spirit of the Herd brands him murderer, and ancient Styracosaurus bones heave from the sand as the Herd rises.

3. Amy Rose · Out for a Spin #

   Amy and Tekno recover Sonic's old Flying Saucer from the overgrown Emerald Hill Zone and fit it with remote controls. Amy's first solo flight attracts three cloaked EggRobos, but she turns the saucer into a weapon and brings them down. The craft is wrecked beyond repair, leaving Amy happier to keep both feet on the ground.

   First appeared in issue 95.

4. Tails · Flip Side, Part 2 #

   Sonic goads cool Tails into saving Bandstand while he catches the co-pilot with an updraft. Amy spots Tails heading for the Tough Tea Club; he picks a fight before Sonic and Doctor Sorders restore him. The clubbers still attack, so Sorders hypnotises them into hippies, and Tails decides he was fine as himself.

   First appeared in issue 104.

5. Sonic's World · Cybernik Strikes Back, Part 5 #

   Shortfuse storms Citadel Robotnik to free Tekno, shredding Troopers until only Robotnik remains, then Metamorphia arrives with Tekno as hostage. When she admits her powers are gone, Tekno floors her with a judo throw; Shortfuse refuses to shoot Robotnik, preferring him to suffer knowing he created his own nemesis. Back at Tekno's workshop she offers a shared base, but he stays on the move and promises to return.
