Synopsis
Turtle Town faces destruction from an asteroid on a collision course, and its only hope seems to be Dr. Robotnik, who has the means to stop it. Naturally, there is a price.
The doctor will only save the town if Sonic takes part in the Robolympics, a contest in which the only other competitors are Robotnik and his Badniks. With innocent lives at stake, Sonic has no choice but to sign up.
Every event is booby-trapped, and every rule is bent in Robotnik’s favour. Sonic battles through the wild, rigged events and comes out on top, saving Turtle Town and leaving the doctor without a medal.
