Summary

Story One

"The Good, the Bad, and the Hedgehog"

The Freedom Fighters discover Dr. Robotnik spreading some of his Mega Muck across the land. Needing Sonic's help, Sally contacts him via special wrist watch. This happens just in time as Sonic got through fighting Scratch and Grounder. Getting the heads up from Sally, Sonic begins his run to the scene, taking the Cosmic Interstate as a shortcut. However, in his rush, he misses the turn off and ends up being deposited on Anti-Mobius. In his search for the way back, he ends up running into Evil Sonic and the two start to fight. It is there that Sonic learns of what this Mobius is about and, realizing he's outmatched, makes a break for it, only to be trapped by the kindly Dr. Robotnik.

Sonic is able to convince Robotnik that he's a good Sonic and agrees to help him capture Evil Sonic. He's able to lure Evil Sonic into racing him and is able to trap his evil counterpart in a cage. With Evil Sonic captured, Sonic returns to the Cosmic Interstate and returns to Mobius Prime in time to stop Robotnik.

Story Two

"Beat The Clock"

Coconuts, tired of being in last place concerning how long he lasted against Sonic, captures the Freedom Fighters and places them in a dynamite-filled death trap. As he waits for Sonic, he tells them how the other Badniks were able to last longer than he could against the speedy hedgehog and plans to finally beat them all. However, Sonic arrives and saves the Freedom Fighters at the last second, and escapes as the dynamite goes off.

Story Three

"Food for Thought or You Are what you Eat"

After stuffing himself full of chili dogs as an early birthday present, Sonic dreams that he's "Sonic the Chili Dog", with the Freedom Fighters and Robotnik as condiments. Robotnik captures Sonic and prepares to finally defeat him, he wakes up with a start and attempts to vow against eating chili dogs. However, the other Freedom Fighters have already made him more and he admits he could never truly give them up.
