Reprinted stories
Sonic the Hedgehog · Running Wild, Part 1 #
Sonic visits Porker on the Floating Island to check he is well, not to recruit him; in the ruined Emerald Chamber a robot head startles him and the ledge gives way into the Chaos Emerald pit. Emerald energy births Super Sonic, who punches through the roof hunting Amy Rose and shreds an SBS Trooper ship en route. Beside Bob Beaky's circus, Amy is coaching Tails with a crossbow when Johnny bursts out with Porker's warning - too late: Super Sonic is already on them.

Knuckles and Tails · The Revenge of Trogg, Part 5 #
Held in the Dark One's forcefield, Knuckles, Tails and Morain can only watch as the Enchanter Kings are twisted into Trogg-like monsters. The demon's full concentration on the change drops the barrier, so the heroes snatch the Dark Orb and flee to the Dimension Bridge, where they hurl it into non-existent space and the Dark One is pulled after it to its doom. The Kings begin to revert, but Trogg remains a monster and turns on them in a rage.

Sonic's World · No More Mr. Nice Bug, Part 2 #
Cam and Bert scrap the Trooper who let two Niceniks escape, fashion the wreckage into "art", then hunt the pair with Bert's Synthetic Sonic Simulation—a balloon that loyal Badniks dutifully attack. After two hundred fruitless tests, the Niceniks themselves (Bim and Bom) are cataloguing perfect flowers; when the Barfmobile crushes more blooms and appears to have deflated Sonic, they charge Cam and Bert in a fury.
First appeared in issue 33.
Sonic's World · Enter the Cybernik, Part 3 #
Furious at his creation's betrayal, Robotnik attacks Emerald Hill in an assault mobile until the Cybernik wrecks the gun and nearly the vehicle. A circuit-scrambler stalls the fight long enough for Sonic to drive Robotnik off; the Cybernik then smashes the device. Offered a Freedom Fighter place, he declines, names himself Shortfuse, bids Hopper farewell, and flies off to settle scores alone.
First appeared in issue 47.
Chaotix Crew · The Fundamental Four, Part 1 #
Vector boots babbling Charmy from Chaotix HQ just before Hydran, Gravel, Squall and Flare smash in for revenge after four years in prison and flatten the remaining trio toward a giant blender. Charmy, bored of solitude, flies home, spots the capture, and realises he cannot win alone. Only chance left: back to the Hive.
