Reprinted stories

1. Sonic the Hedgehog · Hero Hour #

   A bank robbery in Mootant Village puts Sonic at odds with the Zed Monkeys, whose scheduled Hero Hour leaves the Yob free to escape. Sonic catches the hippopotamus himself, then confronts Professor Zed at the monkeys' school. The supposed mentor is unmasked as Madmeano, who has been manipulating the routine so his gang can steal undisturbed; the Monkeys replace Hero Hour with a more miserable daily ritual.

   First appeared in issue 96.

2. Knuckles · Roots, Part 3 #

   With the Elder Tree gone, the Ancient Trees raise a vast forest across Metropolis Zone and Omen's forces ambush Knuckles, Ebony and Pyjamas. The Trees threaten to wipe flesh creatures from Mobius, but Knuckles's regret over the destruction persuades them that revenge is not the answer. Omen and the cyborg gorillas are expelled, while new shoots promise that the Elder Tree may return.

   First appeared in issue 96.

3. Sonic's World: Amy & Tekno · Earthbound, Part 1 #

   Lost on the way home from the Kaamdaarn, Amy and Tekno crash a borrowed map-ship on a blue planet and meet friendly Professor Cratermass. He offers help finishing his gateway to infra-space; Tekno starts on the data before Colonel Granite's Operation Starwatch storms the house and takes all three prisoner.

4. Sonic's World: Amy & Tekno · Earthbound, Part 2 #

   Bored in Starwatch cells, Tekno blows the door with an Explosive Earring; they free Cratermass, dodge Granite, and flee in the hangar's two-seater with the Professor clinging outside. Back at his house they finish the infra-space gateway; Amy and Tekno dive through, and Cratermass deletes the program so Granite cannot follow. Amy later tells Johnny Lightfoot Earth was fine for a day trip.

   First appeared in issue 115.

5. Sonic's World · The Monster Wakes, Part 1 #

   The Freedom Fighters accept Tekno's underground laboratory as a possible base and start digging to make room.

The creature announces that the accidental alarm has left it angry and ready to make its displeasure known.
