The Story So Far…
Villainous echidna Doctor Zachary has gathered together a group of outlaws, called the Syndicate. Rouge’s attempt to steal the powerful Chaos Emeralds failed, and they were warped back to the Special Zone. Sonic and Knuckles must retrieve them before the Syndicate can use its mysterious new weapon: the being known only as Shadow.
Sonic
Sonic is the super-fast hero of Mobius, and leads a gang of freedom fighters. He is totally committed to keeping Planet Mobius and its people safe.
Amy Rose
Although Amy first met Sonic when she was claiming to be Sonic’s girlfriend, she has since proved a hero in her own right with her trusty crossbow. She has a wicked sense of humour and loves winding Sonic up!
Knuckles
Tails is an optimistic young fox who uses his two tails to fly for short periods. He idolises Sonic but has also become a respected hero in his own right – if only Sonic would notice!
