[[South Island]] is a treasure trove of gems and ancient ruins. They say that it's the island where the mystical Chaos Emeralds lie. The [[Chaos Emeralds]] are a super-material that give energy to all living beings. Also, when applied to scientific purposes, they can be used for nuclear and laser based weaponry. However, nobody knows exactly how to get ahold of these emeralds. At the same time, though, they do say that the reason why South Island is always moving is because the emeralds are somewhere inside the island's hazy depths.

[[South Island]] is a treasure of jewels and ruins, including the "[[Chaos Emeralds]]" that sleep buried somewhere within the island. These stones deal to all life a terrific energy. New techniques basing themselves on nuclear weapons and laser radii are then possible. But, they are not necessary should these stones fall between bad hands that don't understand their power. Also, since South Island is an island with a circular movement, the island started forming a interdimensional torsion in which the Chaos Emeralds wander.

Translated by Windii

Dr. Eggman, the evil genius scientist, has begun to embrace his evil ways again.
"Sonic... that annoying, cheeky hedgehog. He's the one who's always ruining my great plans. This time, I'm going to crush him with the power of my science! Heheheh..."

South Island is a treasure trove of gems and ruins. It is also said to be the island where the mystical "Chaos Emeralds" lay dormant. The Chaos Emeralds are a super-substance that gives energy to all living things. They can also be used to create nuclear weapons and laser beams through science and technology. However, no one knows how to obtain them. This is because South Island is a moving island, and the Chaos Emeralds exist within the distortions that the island creates.

Then one day, danger came upon the island. Dr. Eggman and his henchmen landed on the island.
"Hmph... I'll make sure to get my hands on the Chaos Emeralds, even if I'll have to dig up this entire island."
Dr. Eggman built a huge fortress on the corner of the island and began to develop it.

"Eggman! You still won't learn your lesson?!"
Sonic rushed over after hearing the rumors. Dr. Eggman's harassment was a regular occurrence. He has always been dealt with so far. Dr. Eggman may think of Sonic as his nemesis, but he's no match for Sonic.

But this time, oh my... Something's not right.
"You see, Sonic?! This time it's different. I've turned all the animals on the island into robots."
"Y-You guys!"
"They'll all do what I tell them to. In other words, the whole island is your enemy. Hahahahaha... cough cough. This time, the whole world will be mine."

This is terrible! Go, Sonic the Hedgehog! Everyone is waiting for your help.
