Only Sonic and his friends Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose can stop the mad doctor and save the day! Set after the fall of the Death Egg, this story returns Sonic and his friends to their younger incarnations, when Sonic was full of snark, Tails was still coming into his own, and Knuckles was the frenemy. This classic-styled story filled with wacky robots and rings and things is a great way for fans young and old to celebrate the Blue Blur turning 25!
