{{stub}}'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a {{SegaLink|virtual reality}} world in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] universe, introduced in 1994 as the setting for the unreleased [[32X]] platformer ''[[Sonic Mars]]''. Existing solely in the digital realm, {{PAGENAME}} is inhabited by characters known as [[Mips]], and are ruled over by the benevolent [[King Cyberooski]] and his daughter [[Tiara Boobowski|Tiara]].

==Development==
{{PAGENAME}}, alongside [[Tiara]] and [[Cyberooski]], were originally created for ''[[Sonic Mars]]'' back when the project was still intended as a tie-in game to the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series)|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' TV series]].

While unconfirmed, the creation of {{PAGENAME}} as a virtual reality world may have been intentionally chosen to best work with the [[Sega 32X]] hardware. Playing to the system's polygon capabilities, most stages would have featured [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] running across a series of 3D floor tiles. Knowing that any more 3D processing would likely tax the 32X, Zones were designed entirely of these floor tiles, keeping on-screen rendering to a minimum while keeping within the bounds of a digital landscape.

When ''[[Mars]]'' was moved from the [[32X]] to the [[Saturn]] and became ''[[Sonic X-treme]]'', the setting of Micro Mobius, and much of Kosaka's setting, were dropped from the project entirely.

{{quote|1="While [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] is away checking on a security alarm in a remote part of the [[Great Forest]], his pals ([[Princess Sally Acorn|Sally]], [[Bunnie Rabbot|Bunnie]], [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] and [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]]) have discovered a strange message from within one of [[Dr. Eggman|Robotnik]]'s super computers.

<br>
(Dr. Robotnik is trying to take over a computer VR world (Micro Mobius) and the message is a plea for help from its peaceful inhabitants.)

<br>
Sonic returns to Knothole to discover that Robotnik has captured his friends and taken them into his VR world.

<br>
Sonic is tasked with trying to liberate his friends and thwart Robotnik's plan to completely "reformat" Micro Mobius."|2=''[[Michael Kosaka]]''|ref={{fileref|SonicMars 32X Kosakascript.pdf|page=4}}}}

During the events of ''[[Sonic Mars]]'', the [[Freedom Fighters]] intercept a distress call from Micro Mobius. Soon, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] returns from a patrol to find [[Knothole Village]] destroyed by [[Dr. Eggman|Robotnik]]'s Raiderbots, and his friends captured. He quickly makes his way to Robotnik's lair, where he accidentally gets teleported into Micro Mobius, beginning the game.
