English story from US manual

File:Chaotix 32X US manual.pdf Tomorrow's the big opening day for Carnival Island, a huge resort with the latest in high-tech rides and games. As guardian of the island, it's Knuckles' job to make sure nothing goes wrong before the grand event.

Unfortunately, the evil Dr. Robotnik has other plans. he needs fuel for his latest diabolical devices, and the Power Emerald that supplies electricity to the entire island fits the bill perfectly. His awful new invention, the Combi Confiner, should help him get rid of that annoying echidna and his friends.

When Knuckles returns from patrolling the far end of the island, he discovers that Dr. Robotnik has imporsed all of his friends—Espio the Chameleon, Mighty the Armadillo, Vector the Crocodile and Charmy Bee. After he chases the Doctor off, Knuckles discovers that he can resuce one friend at a time by using Ring Power...only the power that sparks between the Rings hold the two partners together like a magical rubber band. Never held back for long, Knuckles finds that with a little teamwork, he can use the stretching and snapping action of the Ring Power to double—even triple—the partners' speed.

And they need all the speed they can get. As Dr. Robotnik drains the power from Carnival Island, everything on the island begins to break down. Robotnik must be stopped, or by tomorrow morning—the morning of Carnival Island's big opening day—the grand amusement park will lie in ruins!

A floating island somewhere in the world. It has been several months since an incident caused this island to graze the surface of the ocean.
However, an upheaval occurred deep in the south sea, and an island appeared out of nowhere. It was a product of tectonic movement, caused by the power of the Master Emerald "pillar" on the floating island. Moreover, the island was changing its appearance at a very fast pace in just a short period of time.
The energy of the "pillar" was transforming the island from a mere rocky mass into a green paradise.

"There's something on that island..."
Knuckles, the guardian of the Master Emerald Pillar, wonders about the rapid changes on the island that continue uninterrupted.
Are there vestiges of a legendary civilization lying dormant on the island, which disappeared in an instant due to the runaway "power stone" in the distant past?
"Something must be amplifying the power of the 'pillar.'"
With that thought and with a sense of responsibility as a guardian, Knuckles went to the island alone.

However, he wasn't the only one who thought so.
Dr. Eggman, the infamous genius scientist, was also one of them, and had already gone to the island to investigate.
There, Eggman discovered a small ring with ancient writing carved on it. It turned out that the island had been indeed part of a lost civilization.
He also discovers a super ring that looks exactly like the one on the floating island. It was an ancient special ring that was used before the legendary civilization was lost.

"Now I can reach the Master Emerald again!"
Eggman was astonished at the discovery, but the power stone that the special ring was supposed to guide him to had already been moved to the floating island by the gods who descended from the sky.

However, the mysterious space created by the special ring was filled with "pillar" energy and turned into a ring-shaped crystalline body called a "Chaos Ring."
"If I can find out the secret of this special ring, I can not only find the secret of Sonic's gang's rings, but I can also summon the Master Emerald!"
With that thought in mind, Eggman hastily builds a fortress on the island. The resort, named Newtrogic High Zone, is where Eggman's terrible plans are aswirl.

And when Knuckles arrived near the island, it was all too late. Eggman succeeded in crystallizing the energy. He named the artificial ring the "Dark Ring." He also developed a "ring power" that could generate a space-time connection between the rings.
"With this, there's nothing anyone can do to stop me. No one will be able to get in my way! This time, the whole world will be mine!"
Steadily, Eggman's ambitions were being realized.
