Getting Started
Dr. Robotnik’s Death Egg has once again been destroyed by Sonic, crash-landing on the peak of a volcano on the Floating Island. Dr. Robotnik is still out there somewhere, and Sonic cannot allow him to get his hands on the Master Emerald and repair the Death Egg. Sonic must also keep Knuckles off his back but Knuckles has problems too. As the guardian of the Floating Island and all of the Emeralds, Knuckles must do his part to keep the island safe.

When the Title Screen is displayed, select either “SONIC” to play as Sonic and track down Dr. Robotnik, or press down to select “KNUCKLES” to play as Knuckles and recover the Master Emerald from EggRobo. Once a selection has been made, press to start the game.
