Story
Sonic's on vacation from defeating Eggman 2 years ago. He gets a call from Tails that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a group called the Marauders, and that 6 of the 7 chaos emeralds are missing.
Eggman will not be the main villain, but will be a creditable bad guy. Something about a "twist" between Eggman and Sonic that goes back to the earlier games.
