Reprinted stories

  1. Sonic the Hedgehog · The Big Fight #

    Sonic's new flat in New Tek City gives him a chance to check on Tails, but a street battle between the Bruise Brothers interrupts the call. He tries to identify the villain and gets walloped by both identical fighters, then carries their mother clear and receives a whack from her walking stick for his trouble. Their quarrel ends as usual when Ma Bruise drags the pair home by their ears, renewing Sonic's determination to escape the Special Zone.

    First appeared in issue 95.

  2. Tails · Desert Fox #

    Tails rescues comedian Willie Waddle from the Scorchio Zone after Robotnik strands him there. A sandworm blocks their journey until Willie's jokes provide a distraction.

    First appeared in issue 126.

  3. Sonic's World · Head in the Clouds #

    Robotnik learns Sonic is marooned in the Special Zone and rages not at the absence but that someone else achieved it; he orders Grimer a colossal self-portrait rocket to orbit Mobius and crush hope of the hedgehog's return - in two months, not six. Rushed launch ends in an instant crash; Grimer's dawn report blames cheap parts and skipped tests, yet the official broadcast must still cry sabotage. Being evil, Robotnik explains, sometimes means lying.

    First appeared in issue 92.

  4. Knuckles · Roots, Part 2 #

    Robotnik's plan to replace Metropolis Park with a tower block brings Knuckles and Ebony against Omen and his cyborg gorillas. During the fight, a stray missile destroys the Elder Tree, and the surviving trees answer with a furious eruption of roots that transforms the city into a forest. Pyjamas's supposedly useless vision has proved uncannily accurate.

    First appeared in issue 95.

  5. Amy · Fights, Camera, Action #

    Amy and Tekno discover that a film about them has cast two actors in their roles. The production's Badniks turn a dispute over casting into a real fight.

    First appeared in issue 129.
