The 25 Years of Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992)

After Sonic had saved South Island, he decided to take a little vacation, and go on new adventures. He then took his biplane, the Tornado, and flew to West Side Island. Sonic landed his plane on the island to check it out and relax, not paying attention to the fact that a certain metallic flying object was chasing him and suspiciously landed on the other side of the island.

Sonic then noticed that a small, shy, yellow fox was following him. But he ran back in the shade of the palm trees so that Sonic wouldn't see him. But as the little fox watched Sonic, something changed inside as he saw him running across the island. He then wanted to be cool like Sonic.

Sonic then realized that the little fox was harmless when he finally saw him again. The fox's name was Miles Prower. Miles had a love for aircraft and machinery. Miles told him that his other friends called him Tails because of his two tails. With his two tails, Tails has the ability to fly.

On an early afternoon, Tails discovered the Tornado stranded at the beach. Being a budding fan of machinery and vehicles, he rushed to take a closer look at it. He loved its magnificent build until he noticed that Sonic was taking a nap under its wing. Realizing that Sonic owned the plane, Tails quietly walked away, trying not to wake him up. Suddenly, an ominous flash occurred in the direction of the nearby forest, followed by a terrific explosion. The wild fire blew away various debris, which Tails avoided by taking cover underneath the Tornado as he witnessed robots violently excavating the area. This ceaseless activity threatened to blanket the entire island in its destructive flames.

It turned out that Dr. Robotnik detected the presence of all chaos emeralds after following Sonic. They then learned that there were seven chaos emeralds instead of six as being a legend told on the island. He took the opportunity to kidnap the island's animals to rebuild his badniks and finish his ultimate weapon, the Death Egg. Robotnik now ruled the factories, refineries, and cities. He grabbed control of everything except the seven Chaos Emeralds. Sonic and Tails then went off into the forest to set things right.

They traveled through West Side Island, rescuing the kidnapped animals, and stopping Robotnik's creations every time they face him. After liberating the island from Robotnik's control, the doctor took off to his flying fortress with Sonic and Tails following on his trail on the Tornado. However, the plane gets shot and Sonic has to continue on without Tails.

After defeating Robotnik, the doctor retreats to the Death Egg but Tails returns with an upgraded Tornado allowing Sonic to catch up with the doctor.

Onboard the space base, the two then have a climatic showdown. Dr. Robotnik went into his giant robot to finish Sonic off. Suddenly, The chaos emeralds started spinning around Sonic in a powerful yellow burst. Sonic was then transformed from a blue speedy hedgehog, to a gold invincible Sonic. He had the ability to fly and can travel a lot faster than his normal self.

The doctor was then defeated, causing the Death Egg to explode while Sonic escapes just in time falling through the Earth. He is then saved by Tails where the duo became best friends from the course of their adventure, and they set off with the Tornado to search for their own vacation.
