This tenacious trio of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles combines exhilaratinghigh-speed action with medium difficulty.

Sonic may be a drifter, but Knuckles'home is firmly fixed in the mountains.Wild, tough, stubborn, and inflexible,Knuckles sees himself as Sonic's rival,perhaps because of his own dreams of afree lifestyle. He's also known as a treas-ure hunter, and possesses martial artsskills. Tails and Knuckles finally catch upwith Sonic as he tours around the globe,and pass him a letter from his arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman, threatening anoth-er outrageous revenge scheme. Thistime, the deranged scientist announcesthat he has finally completed his ultimateweapon, and in a matter of 3 days, hewill be ready to bring the world to itsknees! Unlike Tails, disturbed by themessage and unsure what will happen,Knuckles relaxes confident there's noth-ing to worry about. Sonic, however,shows a brief flicker of a smile and takesoff again into the distance. With thatfamiliar grin of confidence, Sonic says hewouldn't miss this party for the world!And this is how the three reunite for theirgreatest adventure, to put an endto Dr. Eggman's wicked ploy.

In order to release Shadow fromthe capsule, Rouge switches on the facili-ty's power, unintentionally reactivating thefinal E-Series robot, Omega. Shadowwakes to find his memory gone, unable torecall why or how he went into stasis.Omega, on the other hand, was ratherupset about Dr. Eggman shutting himdown.

Rouge steps in to break up thefighting, and reminding them both thattheir enemy is Eggman, the three shakehands and the team is formed. “Yeahbaby!"announces Rouge. "That makes usa team!
