    SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #122

    Written by Karl Bollers and Ken Penders, art by J. Axer, Conor Tomas, Art Mawhinney and Dawn Best.

    "Heart Held Hostage," part one. The Sonic/Mina/Sally triangle comes to a head in this intriguing tale. Sally has been noticing Mina's attraction towards Sonic for many months now - and unfortunately she suspects that the feeling is mutual. Before she can confront them about their relationship, however, bounty hunter extraordinaire, Nack the Weasel, kidnaps her. "Afterlife," part two. This introspective story finds Knuckles pondering the early events of his past - from his parent marriage to his infancy. Finally, Julie-Su and Vector the Crocodile have - a heart to heart?

    "Heart Held Hostage," part two. After Nack the Weasel and his bounty hunter crew kidnap Sally, Sonic and Mina set out to rescue her together. Things get dicey as danger levels get high for the two girls Sonic cares about most in life. The conclusion to last issue's story will force Sonic to choose between Mina and Sally once and for all in a tale that can't be missed. "Afterlife," part three. Knuckles continues to reflect upon his past and how he was groomed to become the Guardian of the Floating Island. "The Last Robian." A mystery has engulfed the entire planet of Mobius - all the Roboticized Mobians have disappeared.

    How do you collect the last emerald with rouge

    Im looking to find out how to get the last emerald shard while using rouge. Its the one on the platform with the four sipky balls. Her jump and jump kick dont seem to be high enough. Is there an ugrade I require and if so how and where do I obtain it?

    Fearsome Foursome

    Though I haven't read all of the comics, I did look through the scans, archives, and encyclopedia and still can quite figure out what issue I should be hunting for to see how the Fearsome Foursome got from being Mogul's cronies in the M.M. Special (between #39 and #40) to landing in the Devil's Gulag. Please help me out here!

    New Sonic at E3

    From VideoGamesLife.com:

    Sonic Team are in for a choc-a-block year ahead, according to the team's gaming genius, Yuji Naka, in the latest issue of Dorimaga.

    With speculation running out of control these last few months, the head of Sonic Team has finally let the hedgehog out of the bag promising an all new Sonic game for the E3 show, to run between the 13th and 15th of May [2003].

    In addition to this, the team will also be making their presence felt on the PS2 at last, with a new game to be announced for the machine. What form this game will take, though, is a mystery, with even Naka unclear. Expressing his desire to work on another format, having worked on the GBA, GameCube and Xbox last year, Naka himself spoke of the possiblilty of the award winning Phantasy Star Online coming to PS2 (following on from the Dreamcast, PC, GameCube and Xbox versions), although didn't rule out a new development.

    One thing it definately won't be, however, is a sequel to Saturn classic and hardcore favourite, NiGHTS. The team have told Nintendo Dream magazine that there are still no plans for a follow up to the game.

    Interview With Ian Flynn

    Sonic HQ is proud to present an exclusive interview with the creator of one of the most successful Sonic fan comics on the internet. The one and only Ian Potto!

    OM #20 Cover

    What just happened?

    So HQ,I was playing Sonic Cd and I was in Palm Tree Panic(I think Zone 2). I know I was at the begining and I was trying to time warp. Then Sonic crashed into the scenery and started to zip around extremly fast, even for him! After about 10 seconds of crazed dashing, he exploded out of the wall and stoped dead! The weirdest part was that he left a Sonic-shaped hole in the wall, like when a cartoon character runs through a door! Can you tell me how to do that again? I wasn't paying much attention untill it happened. Sorry for the long question. Thanks HQ, you guys are the best! P.S. Do any of you have info on the next upcoming Sonic game?

    Continuing on the possible Archie-related cartoon

    The first mention was reported here and a "continuation" of sorts was recently posted by Ken Penders in response to someone asking for season 3 of SatAM on his board:

    No Third Season But....

    ... there IS a Sonic Animation Project currently in development. A story has been worked out, but beyond that I really can't talk about much at this point.

    The only other thing I can say is that we intend to compete on the level of a Monsters Inc. That means whatever is developed has to be done with the general audience in mind beyond Sonic fandom in particular, so don't be surprised if the overall plot is more in line with what you'd expect from the first film of a series, rather than something you'd expect from a third season or later entry in a film series.

    Echidnas

    In #13, Knuckles mentioned he was the "last of the echidnas." Where did everyone else come from? What's up with this?

    Scratch and Grounder Action figures

    We have checked for Scratch and Grounder action figures on Amazon & E-bay for 8 years and have not found anything of them. Did they make any figures of them? Please e-mail me so I can give up the hunt or continue looking for them. If they did, can you tell me where I can find them. Some fan web sites say they did but didn't tell where they got them. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sonic Says

    Am I crazy, or did the SATAM series have a clip at the end of the episodes called "Sonic Says"?

    Shedload of Sonic Advance 2 info

    The Japanese Sonic Team website had released some new information and images for Sonic Advance 2. (Note: I used a translator for some of this, so it may not be 100% accurate)

    Firstly, the rather surprising return of Zero - it seems that he now resides in the bonus stages, now using an isometric runaround style similar to the Sonic CD bonus stages. It seems you have to defeat Zero to get a Chaos Emerald.

    Also, some of Cream's moves are described.

    Chao Attack
    Apparantly this move is similar to Sonic's homing attack, probably meaning that there is a certain amount of automatic 'lock-on' to the enemy (be honest, you've been wanting to do this for a long time :b).

    Fan Flight
    This move looks somewhat similar to Tails' propellor flight. It seems enemies are also damaged on your way back down.

    Chao Rolling Attack
    As far as I can tell, this move is simply a spin attack but with Cheese the Chao doing the same thing, therefore increasing the chance of hitting the enemy.

    There also seem to be new moves for all the characters. The first seems to be a 'boost', which as far as I can tell is where your character speeds up greatly after an extended period of running. This may take up rings, and it is possible only Sonic can do this.

    Other moves are 'trick actions', which seem to be a kind of vertically downwards attack, including Knuckles' Drill Claw from SA2.

    Also included on the new sub-site are some downloads including wallpapers and a movie. Check it out here. If you're having trouble navigating, the first link on the nav bar is home, the second some info on Cream and Cheese, the third info on new character moves, the fourth special stage information, the fifth some as yet undisclosed 'secrets' (Hmm...) and lastly the downloads section.

    Several perhaps difficult questions.

    Okay, so I've dug around on the net, but I've not been able to find what the name of Amy Rose's Japanese voice actress was in SA (and SA2, assuming that it's the same person). Also, I'm somewhat curious about who Eggman's Japanese voice actor was for the SA games. Lastly, I was wondering -- Do you have any frickin' idea of what Tiara Boobowski from Sonic X-Treme is supposed to be? Thanks a lot for your time. Any answers you have would definitely be appreciated.
