Story from US and EU manuals

File:S&K MD US SonicJam manual.pdf The last time Sonic and Robotnik went head-to-head, Sonic blasted Robotnik's Death Egg in smithereens. The explosion heaved Sonic deep into Floating Island's Mushroom Hills!

Sonic knows that many Emeralds, including the Master Emerald, are hidden somewhere on Floating Island. He bets this Knuckles character knows where they are! Sonic can't let Robotnik get his hands on the Master Emerald. He'd have Death Egg fuel forever -- and Floating Island would be destroyed!

Now Sonic's got two problems. How to protect the Master Emerald? And how to keep Knuckles off his back? He'll have to deal with that wild echidna right away!

Knuckles has problems, too. As Guardian of Floating Island and all the emeralds, Knuckles has a mission -- to wage war on all invaders. Whoever threw that bomb is in DEEP trouble. Knuckles is ready with tricks, traps and bare-fisted attacks to keep Floating Island safe.

Sonic's not taking any changes. Neither is Knuckles! But while they're going the rounds with each other, who's stopping Dr. Robotnik? Could this be the end of Floating Island?

Dr. Eggman's large fortress, the Death Egg, was going to escape into space, but Sonic crashed his 'Egg into the ground again. As he escaped from the falling space station, Sonic was thrown down by the wind and into the "floating island", where huge mushrooms grow luxuriantly inside a deep forest.

The Death Egg's safety was confirmed as it crashed into into the large volcano of the "floating island". Sonic was annoyed that the Death Egg had survived and would not feel totally at ease, unless it was completely destroyed. Sonic realizes Dr. Eggman couldn't complete the Death Egg properly due to the amount of time he had to work on it!

Just as Sonic ponders this, Knuckles appears from the door hidden in a thicket, and looks around cautiously. After a quick look, he ventures out and disappears into the wood. Sonic waits for Knuckles to disappear, and then pushes a button to open the door to the room. As he enters the room, Sonic is astounded by a dazzling bright light, that seems to reflect in his eyes. The light came from the special shining "Super Ring".

"What _is_ this ring?"

Sonic couldn't tear his curious eyes away from this shining ring. He thought the ring was wonderful, but the moment he touched it with his hand, Sonic heard a shrill sound and was catapulted across the dimensions.

When Sonic arrived on the other side, he ended up in a large room he had never seen before. Sonic found it odd that the solem altar that was built into the large room had not collected dust at all. Just as Sonic looked up at the large altar, he faltered in surprise. In the center of the altar, sat the "Master Emerald", a huge deitied Chaos Emerald.

What is up with this strange altar? Just what does this Knuckles guy do here? This island has a massive secret and Sonic bets that Dr. Eggman knows what it is! But Sonic will have to face Knuckles in a final confrontation in order to get to him!

The "Sonic the Hedgehog" adventure on the "floating island" is underway and there is still more to come!

Original Japanese Text

宇宙へ飛び立とうした、Dr.エッグマンの大要塞・デスエッグを再び地上へと墜落させたソニック。

そして、自らも空中へと放り出されたソニックが、風に流されたどり着いたのは、巨大なキノコが生い茂る〝浮遊島″の奥深くにある森の中でした。

空中から島の火山に激突するデスエッグの姿を確かめていたソニックでしたが、まだ安心してはいませんでした。
完全に破壊されていないデスエッグが、Dr.エッグマンの手によって復活するのは時間の問題だったからです。

再び意を決して、ソニックがデスエッグに向かおうと走り出そうとしたそのとき……茂みに隠された扉からナックルが現れ、あたりを注意深くうかがいながら森の中へと消えていきました。

ナックルの気配が消えるのを待って、その扉の前にあるスイッチらしきものをソニックが押すと、スルリと開いた扉の中から目映い光があふれだします。
そして、扉の中をぞいたソニックの目に映ったのは、光輝くスペシャルリング〝スーパーリング″だったのです。

「このリングはいったい……？」
ソニックが好奇心に逆らいきれず、この不思議なスーパーリングに手を触れたその瞬間……甲高い音とともにソニックは見慣れない空間に飛ばされてしまったのです。

その空間は、見たこともない大広間でした。
塵一つないその大広間には、厳粛な雰囲気の漂う祭壇が造られていました。
その祭壇を見上げたとたん、思わず驚きの声を上げてしまったソニック。
祭壇の中央には、まさに〝マスターエメラルド″ともいえる巨大なカオスエメラルドが祭られていたのです。

この祭壇はいったい何なのか？
ナックルはいったいここで何をしているのか？

伝説の〝浮遊島″に隠された謎とDr.エッグマン陰謀！
そして、ソニック最大のライバル・ナックルの対決！

そう、「ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ」の冒険は、まだまだ始まったばかりなのです！
