<img src="https://sonicadventuregamebook.neocities.org/Book6Images/LoRes1.png" style="z-index:1; padding-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 10px; float: left;">(display: "ResetVariables")It is another quite gloriously sunny day in the Emerald Hill Zone and, true to form, our hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, and his foxy friend, Miles Prowers (also known as Tails), are doing nothing very much. Well, unless you count lying on their backs at the top of a hill, watching fluffy clouds drift lazily across the brilliant blue sky. 'Hey look, little dude,' says Sonic, pointing up at one cloud. 'There's one that looks like a rabbit.' 'Right!' Tails agrees. 'And look, that one looks like a squirrel.' 'Oh yeah — but see that other one, the big one coming up fast: doesn't that cloud look just like fatty Robotnik?' 'It does, too — and, what's more, it's getting closer, and darker!' Now Sonic and Tails are both intently watching the Robotnik-shaped cloud. It is huge, blotting out most of the sky, and it has turned from white to a dark threatening grey. 'I do hope it's not going to rain,' Sonic mutters, just as a large raindrop splashes on the end of his nose. 'Gross!' he exclaims, scowling. Then the heavens open. Sonic and Tails are caught in the downpour and suddenly the prospect of a lovely lazy morning has gone pear-shaped. A deep rumble of thunder comes from the cloud, which now seems to have blotted out the entire sky, and a bolt of lightning streaks down and zaps into the hillside near by. 'That was close!' Tails yelps. Decision time. Should Sonic and Tails run for cover from the storm [[(turn to **78**)|78]] or stay out in the open [[(turn to **99**)|99]]?

The two pals make a dash for it and are soon shivering under a nearby clump of trees. There is a blinding flash as another lightning-bolt shoots out of the cloud and come to ground in a tree right next to Sonic and Tails! In an explosion of flame, the tree splits in half and topples forward. Roll on Sonic's Speed to beat a 9. (set: $Rating to 9)(display:"SpeedTest") (if:$Success is "True")[If you make a roll, [[turn to **152**|152]]. If you fail, turn to **42**.](else:)[If you make a roll, turn to **152**. If you fail, [[turn to **42**|42]].]

It is soon raining very hard and the two heroes are soaked to the skin. 'If this keeps up it'll soon be raining cats and dogs,' Tails announces glibly. There is an almighty crash behind the pair, then they hear a robotic clanking which sounds like it is getting closer. Looking around in panic, they are confronted by a huge, snarling robot dog and a vicious metal cat which are advancing towards them. The animals pounce! Sonic must fight the robots using his Strength (add 3 because tails is helping). The cat and dog each have a rating of 7.(set:$EnemiesRemaining to 2)(set:$Enemy2 to "metal cat")(set:$Enemy1 to "robot dog")(set:$Rating to 7)(set:$AbilityUsed to "Strength")(set: $TailsHelping to 3) (display:"Fight")(if:$Lives > 0)[ If the hedgehog and fox defeat the robots, [[turn to **291**|291]].]

'Goodness!' Tails gasps as he and Sonic get their breath back. 'What strange weather we've been having recently. Why, it'll probably be raining -' With a yell Sonic moves to clamp his hand over Tails' mouth, but does he do it in time? Roll against his Quick Wits, to beat an 8.

Tails finishes his sentence. Immediately there is another crash and something else falls from the turbulent sky. Stalking towards the pair now are — yes, you've guessed it — a large robotic sheep and a huge, annoyed-looking metal starfish. 'Here we go again!' Sonic mutters, shaping up for some bad guy bashing.

'Oh no, you don't!' Sonic commands, slapping his hand quickly across the fox's mouth. 'Watch what you're saying in future!'

Running through the rain, Sonic and Tails soon catch sight of a bedraggled chicken trying to shelter under a lightning-scorched bush. 'Chirps!' Sonic cries. 'What's happenin', dude?' 'Hello, you two,' says the soggy chicken, brightening up. 'I was just enjoying a stroll when the sky turned all dark and it started to rain. The next thing I knew, there was a huge bang and a flash of light, and I came this close to being turned into a pair of chicken drumsticks!' 'Where's everyone else?' Tails asks. 'Search me,' Chirps replies. 'You're the only guys I've seen since the storm began.' Sonic takes charge. 'Come on, then. You can help us look for them.' 'Hold on, what's that?' Tails suddenly exclaims, pointing up into the sky, where a red speck is dropping towards the ground very quickly indeed.

Sonic and Tails dash away across the Emerald Hill Zone, following the fast-moving cloud. As they reach the brow of another hill, in the distance they see a cottage being struck by a bolt of lightning which has come from the cloud. The building is blown apart and the family of squirrels who lived there are left fleeing in panic. Even though the two heroes are running as fast as they can, the strange cloud is travelling much faster. After slogging through the muddy grass for ages, Sonic and Tails are worn out, and the cloud is still getiing further and further away, so the pair stop for a rest. Sonic notices something glinting in mud near by. Should he investigate [[(turn to **134**)|134]] or go and look for his friends [[(turn to **233**)|233]]?

Just too late, the hedgehog realises who it is. 'Aw no! No! Not him!' he yells unhappily. Oh yes. Knuckles, the red-dreaded echidna (the two of you who don't know what an 'echidna' is can look at the drawing opposite, and you will at once realise that it is a spiny anteater), slams down on top of Sonic the Hedgehog at great speed, knocking him flat. Cross off all of Sonic's rings (or a life if he has no rings left). (display:"Damage")(if:$Lives > 0)[ 'Ow, ow, gerroff!' Sonic splutters, with his face in the mud. 'With pleasure, hedgehog!' Knuckles snarls. 'I might have known you were behind all this!' 'What are you talking about?' Sonic snaps, pulling himself to his feet and trying to wipe off the worst of the mud. 'Not that it's any of your business, but a mega-volt bolt of lightning from a huge cloud ripped open a hole between the dimensions, blasting me off my floating island and down on to this miserable part of Mobius — and I bet it's all your doing, you worthless worm-eater!

Sonic sees in time that the red shape speeding towards him is his arch-rival, the read-dreaded echidna, Knuckles! (Echidna = spiny anteater — Who says gamebooks aren't educational!) 'Phew, thank goodness I didn't try to catch that bogus dude,' Sonic chuckles. Fortunately for Knuckles, however his fall is broken by Chirps. 'Ooof!' the chicken gasps as all the breath is knocked out of him. 'Hedgehog!' Knuckles snarls, jumping to his feet. 'I might have known you were behind all this!' 'What are you talking about?' Sonic sneers, puzzled.

'That showed him,' Sonic says, looking down at the unconscious echidna.

Sonic lies in a dazed heap at feet of the victorious Knuckles. 'I'm going to find out what's going on around here so I can get back to my island,' the dreadlocked red dude declares, turning to go.

(set:$NorthExplored to "True")As the two friend trudge north across the hills, it starts to get noticeably colder and when they reach the brow of the next hill they find themselves looking across a snow-covered landscape! What is going on here? 'Blimey, this looks just like the Icecap Zone,' Sonic gasps. 'But I'm sure we haven't left Emerald Hill!' 'Cool!' Tails puns, frolicking in the snow. 'This is brilliant! But where did it come fr-aaaaaghh!' 'What was that, buddy of mine?' Sonic asks, looking around. 'Tails?'

(set:$SouthExplored to "True")Walking south, Sonic and Tails can see that, rather than being wet after all the bad weather, this part of the zone is quite warm and dry — and it seems to be getting warmer and drier by the minute.

(set:$EastExplored to "True")Shuffling through the desolate zone, Sonic and Tails suddenly become aware that is is growing distinctly foggy. The further east they walk, the denser the mist gets. Soon they can barely see each other in the thick misty gloom. 'Stick close, Tails,' Sonic advises. 'We don't want to get separated in this pea-souper.' Tails looks as if he is about to reply — probably to make some dopey joke about pea soup, no doubt — but then he pauses and looks around. 'What was that?' he shivers. 'What was what?' Sonic asks. 'I didn't hear anything.' 'That extremely loud and obvious, spooky noise. Listen.' Sonic stops in his tracks and cocks his head to one side, pretending to humour his barmy little buddy. But then from far away comes a faint, wavering voice. 'Helllp meee... helllp...' Tails was right! Roll against Sonic's Coolness to beat an 8.

It has stopped raining now in this part of the zone, but the damage has already been done. As Sonic and Tails reach the crest of the next hill, they look down, to see that the entire area is flooded. All the lower ground is now underwater and only the tallest hills are visible, like small grassy islands. If Sonic and Tails are going to explore here, they are going to have to get about in some way other than on foot. The tops of several trees are still above the water level, so Sonic could try swinging from tree to tree to get around [[(turn to **158**)|158]] or he could try something else [[(turn to **54**)|54]]. Alternatively, he and Tails could both leave this part of the zone and look somewhere else (if:$NorthExplored is "True" and $SouthExplored is "True" and $EastExplored is "True")[(turn to **20**). <div class="sic">`[You have already completed the other parts.]`](else:)[[[(turn to **20**)|20]].]

The Snowworm's head sways from side to side, the the metal monster darts toward the hedgehog. Does Sonic keep on running and try to escape from the worm [[(turn to **30**)|30]], prepare to fight it [[(turn to **109**)|109]] or try a super spin attack against it [[(turn to **181**)|181]]?

'Hey!' Sonic snaps, gazing out at you. 'He may be a little twit sometimes, but he's my chum, and *this* hedgehog doesn't let his chums go rolling off round the zone in the middle of giant snowballs. There may be Batniks about! I'm going after him.' [[Turn to **75**|75]].

Finding himself caught in the Yeti's freezing ray, Sonic is immediately trapped in the ice from the neck down and cannot move. Tails too is encased in a similar block near by. 'Bogus!'

It's Knuckles, and unfortunately he is Sonic's only hope. 'Er, hey, Knuckles, old pal, old buddy, old chum!' he calls in what he hopes is a friendly voice. 'Yeah, over here. We, um, well, HELP, actually. Thank you.' Knuckles speeds over and stands, regarding the hapless pair. his enormous fists planted on his hips. 'Why should I help you, hedgehog? Having you out of the way makes my life a whole lot easier.' With that, he turns to leave. 'You creep!' Sonic yells after him. 'Why you're nothing but a coward!'

There is no doubt about it: this part of the Emerald Hill Zone has now turned into a scorching desert. 'Blimey, but I'm gasping for a long, cool drink,' Tails pants. 'Try not to think about it, little buddy,' Sonic advises. 'Try not to think about ice-cold cola... on the rocks... condensation dripping down the sides of the tall, chilled glass.. just try not to -' 'That's not helping, Sonic!' Tails snaps.

As they get closer, the pair can see they are a bunch of penguins, wearing funny hats, and each one is mounted on a clanking robot camel. When they get near enough, the leading penguin hails them in a silly voice: 'Allo! Oo are you, and what ees eet zat you are doing trespassing 'ere?'

As the scorched pair approach, a cheery polar bear pops up behind the counter and smiles broadly. 'Customers at last! I knew this couldn't be such a bad spot, after all.' 'You mean, you're really real?' Tails asks suspiciously. ''Course I am. Trouble is, nobody believes it, so trade has been really slow,' the bear explains. 'You're the first today — and I'm so pleased to see you that you can each have a triple-fudge lime sundae and a giant-sized strawberry soda slushie on the house!' Sonic and Tails dance in delight, then they set to, slurping down the proffered drinks.

'Well, it *was* quite sunny this morning when I opens up, but it just seemed to get hotter and hotter. All the trees and grass shrivelled up and sand blew in, and soon I was surrounded by desert.

For a long moment the penguin leader peers down from his camel at the two animals, then finally he says, 'Very well, I accept your grovelling apology. But oo are you two?' 'I, mon-sewer, am Sonic ze Hedgehog, greatest hero, megastar, babe magnet and all-round coolest dude on Mobius,' Sonic says modestly. 'Furthermore, mon oncle, zis, I mean *this*, is Miles Prower, better known as Tails, my best buddy and loyal comedy sidekick.' 'Never 'eard of you,' the leader snaps.

The hedgehog and fox give as good as they gte, but eventually they find themselves captured. Expecting to be led off to the penguin's distant sandcastle, Sonic is surprised when their captors start digging two holes in the sand; but all becomes clear when the penguins stick him and Tails in the holes and bury them up to their necks! Then the strange birds ride away, leaving our heroes to swelter in the baking sun. 'I feel like I'm cooking in here,' Tails soon complains, sweat pouring from his brown. 'It's at times like this that I wish I didn't wear this stupid fur coat.' 'I hear what you're saying, dude,' Sonic agress. 'But never mind that now. How are we going to get out of here? More importantly, what on Mobius is *that*?' he adds hastily. Coming across the sand is a huge robot scorpion, snapping its claws menacingly as it scuttle straight towards them.

'Oi! Ugly! Yeah, you with the pincers on!' Sonic shouts at the top of his voice. 'Over here, you useless bag of bolts.'

What do Sonic and Tails do now: make a run for it [[(turn to **162**)|162]] or stand and fight [[(turn to **98**)|98]]?

As he approaches the table, Sonic hears an ominous hissing and, looking around, he sees a large metal snake slithering towards him across the dusty floor. Sonic can attack the Snakebot [[(turn to **177**)|177]] or quickly leave the room and slam the door behind him [[(turn to **269**)|269]].

The pair start scrabbling in the sand, their eyes peeled for any sign of hidden treasure. With a resounding boom the stone door suddenly slams shut, and more sands starts to pour in through small holes in the roof. Tails runs over to the door but it is locked. 'We're trapped!

Sonic is beginning to wonder whether they have in fact wandered into a totally different zone. Then, in the distance, what looks like a giant sandcastle appears, and several dark shapes are coming out of it. As they get closer, the pair can see they are a bunch of penguins, wearing funny hats, and each one is mounted on a clanking robot camel. When they get near enough, the leading penguin hails them in a silly voice: 'Allo! Oo are you, and what ees eet zat you are doing trespassing 'ere?'

Sonic crashes into the door, smashing the stone into pieces, and lands, unharmed, in the corridor outside. Tails trots out and helps him to his feet, and the pair decide where to go next.

In the middle of one wall Sonic finds a smooth brick that slides in when he presses it. The sand stops falling and the door swings open. Relieved, Sonic and Tails dash back out into the corridor.

As the Mummy staggers forward, Sonic spots a loose strip of bandage flapping round the thing's knees. Ducking under the Mummy's flailing arms, Sonic grabs hold of the wrapping and keeps running.

'If that was the Mummy, I'd hate to see the Daddy,' Tails jokes nervously. With the tombs occupant disposed of, Sonic and Tails take a closer look at it's sarcophagus.

Hanging motionless from a branch, Sonic waits, hardly daring to breathe. The Badniks are hovering right above him. He hears a plop as something falls into the water near by, then a muffled explosion which sends a great spray of water up into the air.

Sonic spots the appendage just in time to avoid it. However, Tails is not so lucky: he is grabbed and held, struggling, in the Octopus's grasp. Gritting his teeth, Sonic splashes forward into the attack. The Octopus has a rating of 9, and Sonic must roll against his Speed if he is to avoid its marauding tentacles.(set:$EnemiesRemaining to 1)(set:$Enemy1 to "Octopus")(set:$Rating to 9)(set:$AbilityUsed to "Speed")(set: $TailsHelping to 0) (display:"Fight")(if:$Lives > 0)[ If Sonic wins, [[turn to **67**|67]].]

At Sonic's final blow, the giant Octopus bursts apart at the seams, pieces of metal tentacle showering down into the water all round our heroes. Among the wreckage of the robot Sonic sees something glowing. If you think he should investigate, [[turn to **264**|264]]. Otherwise, [[turn to **123**|123]].

Probing the debris, Sonic manages to extract the glowing object. It looks like a computer circuit-board, but it is in the shape of a raindrop rather than rectangular. Stamped on it are the letters 'NT'. 'I wonder what they stand for,' Sonic wonders. ''Normous Tentacles,' Tails suggests with a silly grin. 'Don't be daft, dude,' Sonic replies. There is something else in the debris: a large rubbery bag, which is full of black liquid. If you want Sonic to take the ink-sac or the circuit-board (or both of them), write them down on his *Vital Statistics*. <div class="game">Raindrop circuit-board and ink-sac added to Sonic's Stuff.(set:$RaindropCircuitBoard to "True")(set:$SonicsStuff to it + (dataset:" raindrop circuit-board"))(set:$InkSac to "True")(set:$SonicsStuff to it + (dataset:" ink-sac"))</div> [[Turn to **123**|123]].

'Thanks, guys,' a very relieved Porker sighs, pulling his two rescuers on to the roof of his floating cottage. 'Don't mention it,' Sonic says proudly. 'All in a day's work for Mobius's greatest heroic hedgehog and his loyal sidekick. What's been going on here anyway?' 'Well, I think it all started after that Robotnik-shaped cloud appeared,' Porker explains. 'It just started raining, and it didn't stop until the whole place was flooded. I climbed on to the roof so as not to get washed away, but then my house came adrift and floated off down here. At one point I saw Sally Acorn being swept past me; she threw me her scarf to pull her to safety, but it snapped. She got carried off to the South, towards Chemical Plant Zone,' Porker adds, handing Sonic a torn yellow scarf (write this down on his *Vital Statistics*). <div class="game">Sally's scarf added to Sonic's Stuff.(set:$SallysScarf to "True")(set:$SonicsStuff to it + (dataset:" Sally's scarf"))</div> 'Then we must save her,' Sonic declares in a heroic voice. 'But first we must get out of here. I think the water level is going down a little.' 'Yes, Sonic,' Porker agrees, then, pointing up ahead, 'but we're drifting straight for those rapids!' Sure enough, the house and its passengers are being swept towards a place where the rushing water passes between two steep cliffs where debris has dropped into its path. 'I can carry you off using my tails,' Tails offers, 'but there may not be enough time to do two trips.' This seems like a sensible option, but which one should Tails carry off in this way: Sonic [[(turn to **138**)|138]] or Porker [[(turn to **85**)|85]]?

Tails lands on top of one of the cliffs and deposits Sonic safely. 'Help me!' Porker's voice comes from below. 'I'm going to hit the rocks!' 'Uh-oh!' Sonic looks at Tails with a guilty expression. 'I suppose I'll have to go after Porker now... unless, er, you, er, you couldn't, well, fly down and...' 'No chance. I'm exhausted after lifting you all the way up here. You really could cut down on all those pizzas and full-cream chocolate milk-shakes, you know,' Tails protests. 'Never mind that now. Porker's in trouble — again!' With that, Sonic dives off the cliff into the rushing water. When he surfaces again, he sees that he has already been carried past Porker's house, which has become wedged between some rocks so that his piggy pal is safe for the moment. Sonic, however, is dragged along by the river, unable to control his direction or to swim against the current.

The river soon divides, going in two different directions. One rout carries on between the cliffs, but the other way leads into a dark cave — and this is the direction in which Sonic is being carried. The river rushes along through the caves, sending Sonic hurtling this way and that — it's like a really exciting funfair ride. The rocks around the hedgehog soon give way to ruined columns and arches; the caves must link up with the Aquatic Ruin Zone.

(set:$Choice1 to 0)(set:$Choice2 to 0)The river divides, continuing between the cliffs in one fork and disappearing into a cavernous tunnel in the other, but Sonic is swept past the cave and on through the rapids.

'Heinous! That was close,' he says, with his nose just millimetres from the trunk. 'Sonic? Sonic, is that you?' comes a plaintive voice from directly above. 'It's me, Joe — Joe Sushi. I'm stuck up in this tree.' The pair peer up and can just make out a large grey shape among the branches. 'How on Mobius did you get all the way up there?' Sonic asks incredulously. 'Well, this weird cloud that looked just like Dr Robotnik floated over the zone,' the Walrus shouts down. 'It was followed by a whirlwind that picked me up and, when it stopped again, dumped me in this tree. Can you get me down, please?

'You must be joking!' Tails laughs. 'I couldn't carry him down! He's way too heavy.' So, Sonic will have to try something else: improvising a see-saw [[(turn to **201**)|201]] or knocking the tree down [[(turn to **45**)|45]].

The whirlwind must also have strewn masses of debris across the zone, because it doesn't take Sonic very long to find a plank of wood and a round log with which to construct an impromptu see-saw. Sonic positions the device next to the tree and stands on the further end. 'OK, Joe,' he shouts up at the walrus. 'You jump down on to the other end of this, and my weight going up should slow the impact of yours coming down... I think.' Joe seems unsure whether this barmy scheme will have a happy outcome, but he's game enough. 'Very well. Here I come,' the walrus warns.

Revving up into super spin mode, the hedgehog speeds through the fog towards the tree and smashes into the trunk. CRUNK! The tree snaps at its base and begins to topple forwards. Then, with a crash, it falls back in Sonic's direction! The hedghog leaps out of the way and with a dazzling bodyswerve manages to avoid getting crushed.

At last, through the flying debris, they see it! Standing on top of a large tower of pipes and scaffolding up ahead is a truly ginormous robotic ape. It is blowing out through its enormous mouth, and this is what is causing the powerful gusts of wind! 'Look, he's got Sally!' Sonic shouts over the gale, pointing to where the squirrel is lying, tied up, at the huge ape's feet. 'We must save her!' 'So how exactly are we going to do that?' Tails asks unhelpfully.

Reaching the base of the tower, Sonic starts to run up the various ramps and ladders that have been built into the scaffolding, in an attempt to get up to the overgrown Coconut. He hears a clang from above him and looks up to see a barrel dropping, rolling down the ramps towards him. 'I guess King Pong spotted us!' Sonic declares as a second and then third barrel drops down. 'You know, I'm sure I've played this game before,' he adds as he prepares to leap over the first barrel. Sonic must roll against his Speed to beat a 6 three times.

A single lucky throw strikes the robot square on its temple. This must be its weak spot, because the huge thing topples backwards off the tower. Far, far below, it smashes on the ground with an earth-shaking thump and explodes into a million and two pieces. Sonic races over to Sally and unties her. 'Oh, thank you, Sonic!' she says when she is free once more. 'You've saved me from an ape worse than death.' 'Don't mention it, ma'am,' Sonic says, throwing her a daft salute. 'All in a day's work for Mobius's greatest hero.' Behind Sally is a pile of assorted items which the ape must have collected. Among them are twenty gold rings, and a bunch of bananas; Sonic may take these if he wishes. <div class="game">(set:$Gain to 20)(display:"RingCheck") Bananas added to Sonic's Stuff.(set:$Bananas to "True")(set:$SonicsStuff to it + (dataset:" bananas"))</div> The pair clamber back down to the base of the tower and rejoin Tails.

The triangle looks like part of a computer circuit-board; it is covered in chips and diodes and has the letters 'KO' embossed on its other side. 'Well, that's only fair. It almost knocked *me* out,' Sonic chuckles. [[Turn to **119**|119]].

With the giant Apebot gone, the wind has dropped and the air is still. Everything is calm. But not for long, because in the distance everyone can see a small red figure getting closer and closer. It's Knuckles and he has arrived just in time for Sonic to gloat. 'Hey, you dreadlocked red dweeb! Trust you to turn up when all the hard work's finished, you wuss!' he mocks. 'Where've you been? Hiding somewhere, I suppose, trying to wash that yellow streak off your back, you big girl's blouse!' Knuckles is furious. 'You're going to regret you said that, sport!' the echidna growls, his dreads shaking in anger and his enormous fists clenching so hard that his hands are turning white. Knuckles leaps at Sonic, swinging his fists. The hedgehog just manages to duck the ferocious blow, then jumps at Knuckles.

The top of the swirling mass disappears into the base of the Robotnik-shaped cloud that seems to be the cause of all their trouble. 'A twister!' Tails yelps in panic, running this way and that. 'We have to hide in the north-east corner of the basement! Quick, where's the basement? Where's the basement!' 'Never mind that,' Sonic yells back. 'Just run for it!' Forgetting their disagreements, the four of them run through the maze of pipes and vats, but there is nowhere safe for them to hide. In a great roaring rush of noise, the wind sweeps over them. Sonic finds himself spiralling high into the air. A hand grabs his leg, and he looks down to see Tails hanging on for dear life. Near by there is a red blur that must be Knuckles. There is no sign of Sally Acorn; she must have managed to avoid getting carried away by the tornado. The three are carried away by the tornado. The three are carried higher and higher until they disappear into the murky cloud. At its heart, the top of the tornado disappears into a dark hole in the base of a large, egg-shaped flying machine.

There are two exits which obviously lead into the rest of the Weather Egg. 'You great drongo!' Knuckles shouts. 'It's all your fault we're stuck here, hedgehog!'

The corridor leads away into the distance, but close by is a bank of small tubes which point down into the corridor. 'Lasers!' Sonic declares, peering at them from a safe distance. 'Very sneaky.'

After a short distance Sonic and Tails find themselves at the entrance to a large chamber which has a domed ceiling. In the middle of the room, floating just below the ceiling, is a large grey cloud. On the far side of the room, two exits lead deeper into the Weather Egg. As soon as the heroic pair enter the chamber, the cloud starts to drop hot, wet rain on them!

The corridor continues to slope upwards round the inside of the Weather Egg.

If they should investigate, [[turn to **237**|237]]. If not, [[turn to **156**|156]].

The corridor slopes up and up, curling round the edge of the Weather Egg. Eventually Sonic and Tails come to a door set in the side of the metal corridor. Should they open it [[(turn to **294**)|294]] or keep climbing the corridor [[(turn to **156**)|156]]?

The two heroes are in a room, one side of which is open to the air. Standing in front of this gap is a gigantic magnifying glass and, thanks to a complicated arrangement of mirrors and prisms, the sun's rays are directed into a powerful beam which is scorching a great gouge across the ground far, far below!

Hurrying from the room, Sonic and Tails proceed onward and upward. The corridor comes to an end when it reaches a rectangular room which houses a huge coil, powered by clusters of golden rings. Sparks of raw electricity leap between the rings: this must surely be the Weather Egg's lighting accelerator. On the far side of the room is another corridor. Sonic gazes at all the gold rings and tries to imagine how fast he would be if he had them all. If you think he should try to take the rings, [[turn to **190**|190]].

'Don't mention it, ma'am,' Sonic says, throwing her a daft salute. 'All in a day's work for Mobius's greatest hero.' Behind Sally is a pile of assorted items which the ape must have collected.

The door opens to reveal another gleaming, metal room. In the far corner stands a large device which must be a teleporter.

Racing across to the teleporter, Sonic and Tails both jump on to a disc marked with a cross which is set in the floor below the device's massive teleport ray generator — but nothing happens. 'It must be controlled from that computer banks,' Sonic realizes. 'Who said that?' the android growls, turning around. 'Sonic the Hedgehog!

'Hold on a sec!' Sonic says, holding up his hand.

Continually ducking and diving, darting and weaving, Sonic manages to avoid being trapped by the robots. All this while it goes on raining, huge drops splashing down from the strange cloud.

A narrow walkway leads across to a round platform bearing a large computer screen and a terminal, in the very centre of the void. It looks like the yolk of an egg. Bravely, Sonic steps on to the walkway. 'Ah ha haaa!' comes a booming laugh. Hearing the noise, Sonic looks up, startled. There bfore him stands a hideously bloated, spherical figure with a ridiculous red moustache and disgusting egg-stains down his front. It is Dr Robotnik, the evil mastermind behind the Weather Egg. The mad scientist is wearing a shiny black cape and what appears to be a soldier's helmet, and he is carrying a strange metal cylinder in one hand. 'I have you now, hedgehog,' he pants, flicking a switch so that a long beam of pulsing red light streams out from the cylinder. Does Sonic have a laser?

His hands insulated by the bandages, Sonic is able to remove the gold rings from the lightning machine without being harmed by the dangerous electricity coursing through it.

Without a light-sabre to defend himself, Sonic is going to be hard pressed to defeat the egg-crazed lunatic advancing on him.

Fortunately Sonic is able to improvise his own light-sabre. Turning the laser on, Sonic tunes it so that a beam of blue light emerges like the blade of a sword. 'You know, I'm sure I saw this in a vid once,' Sonic mutters to himself as he advances on the snuffling scientist.

IIII'llll geeeet yooooooooooouuu...' The victorious hedgehog watches until the bulky shape has disappeared from view. 'You know, I would have thought that a fall like that would be enough to finish even him off. Let's hope so,' Sonic muses. 'Come on, Tails, there's no time to waste; we've got to stop this thing before it unleashes any more of its nasty weather!' The pair hurry across the walkway to the computer terminal. A small green square is blinking in the top left-hand corner of the screen, but when Sonic prods a key at random a message appears: 'ENTER PASSWORD>' 'Password? Oh blimming flip!' Tails exclaims. 'How are we supposed to know what that loony's password is?'

(if:$Roll is 150)[(display:"Checkpoint")Sonic types in the full name of his arch-enemy and presses 'Enter'. After a few anxious seconds, the message 'PASSWORD ACCEPTED' flashes up on the screen.

Tails asks anxiously, peering at the screen. 'Sure. It's just like the bit in *Death Droidz* where you have to reprogram all the Killer Bug-bots from -' 'SELF DESTRUCT IN T MINUTES TEN MINUTES,' says an emotionless computerized voice from all around them. 'Mind you, I haven't worked out how to get past that bit yet,' Sonic says with a shrug. 'Let's get out of here!'

'Oh all right then. Catch!' Sonic scowles, tossing the Chaos Emerald to Knuckles. 'Cheers, Sonic,' the echidna replies, catching it cleanly.

Remembering the teleport room, Sonic and Tails speed off along the corridors. (Add 2 minutes to the time elapsed.) (set:$Timer to it-2)(display:"Timer") Hearing the sound of clanking footsteps behind them, Sonic glances back, to discover that the two of them are being pursued by a motley bunch of Badniks.

'Which way, Sonic?' Tails frets as they race through the maze of corridors in panic. 'Anywhere you like. Just keep your eyes peeled for an escape pod or a life jacket or something,' Sonic snaps back.

The two friends run along yet another gleaming metal corridor which curves round the outer edge of the Weather Egg.

(set:$Timer to it-1)(display:"Timer")(if:$Timer>-1)[ Soon the Pair reach a closed door bearing the word 'Teleporter'. 'This is the place we want,' Sonic beams, pushing the door open. In the far corner of the room stands a large device that must be the teleporter. Standing next to a bank of computer screens and controls is a silver android. It is sleek and handsome for one of Robotnik's creations, and it doesn't seem to have noticed Sonic and Tails yet.

Sonic doesn't find a way out — but he does find a bunch of Orbinaunts guarding a corridor. Recognizing intruders when they see them, the three Badniks whirl into the attack.

'THREE... TWO... ONE. SELF-DESTRUCT INITIATED.' The Weather Egg explodes in a spectacular display that will be talked about by all the inhabitants of the Emerald Hill Zone for years to come. By all, that is, except Sonic and Tails. For them, it is Game Over! <div class="game">(set:$Rings to 0)(set:$Lives to 0)(display:"Game Over")</div>

Racing across to the teleporter, Sonic and Tails both jump on to a disc marked with a cross which is set in the floor below the device's massive teleport ray generator — but nothing happens. 'It must be controlled from that computer banks,' Sonic realizes. (Note that 1 more minute has gone by; if the total time elapsed is 10 minutes or more turn to **224** immediately.) (set:$Timer to it-1)(display:"Timer")(if:$Timer>-1)[ 'Who said that?' the android growls, turning around. 'Sonic the Hedgehog!

On a desk near by is a triangular key, which Sonic snatches up and fits into a similarly shaped socket in the control panel.

(set:$Timer to it-1)(display:"Timer")(if:$Timer>-1)[ As the teleporter hums into life, Sonic looks up in horror, to see a strange, mechanical, robot-like contraption step between it and them. It looks like a large metal egg with robotic arms and legs. Through a glass plate in the front Sonic can see the leering features of his nemesis, Dr Robotnik! 'You won't escape me this time, vermin! Ah ha ha ha haaa!' the mad scientist roars. Pushing a control, he sends his eggs-o-skeleton stomping towards Sonic and Tails. Our heroes will have to fight, but how?

As Sonic and Tails leap into the teleporter beam, there is a sharp, electrical crack. The world goes black; in the sky, stars spin crazily round and round; pink lightning explodes everywhere. When Sonic and Tails dare to open their eyes once more, they find themselves back on a hill-top at the heart of the Emerald Hill Zone. It's warm and sunny, and little fluffy clouds are drifting lazily across the brilliant blue sky. 'Hey look, little dude,' says Sonic pointing at one particular cloud. 'There's one that looks like a doomed-experimental, mad-scientist-style Weather Egg, spinning wildly out of control.' The pair stand and watch as the grey cloud disappears out of sight over the horizon for the final time. 'I do hope Knuckles got out in time,' Tails ventures innocently. 'Oh, him. Yeah, he always seems to scrape through somehow,' Sonic grumbles. 'I'm sure we haven't seen the last of old Knuckles — nor Robotnik for that matter, worse luck.' The hedgehog slaps an arm round his foxy friend's shoulders. 'Never mind that now. It must be getting near teatime. And I don't know about you, Tails, but I am *starving*!' <div class="game">This has been Sonic the Hedgehog Adventure Gamebook 6: Stormin' Sonic by Marc Gascoigne & Jonathan Green. <div class="game">**Final score: $Rings ring(if:$Rings is not 1)[s]**</div> Challenge your friends to beat your score!</div>

Fiddling with the controls at the base of the crystal-tipped rod, Sonic suddenly manages to make a freezing blue ray shoot out from it. It missed Robotnik and strikes the floor, covering it with a film of ice. As soon as the eggs-o-skeleton steps on it, the machine slips and slides. As Robotnik struggles with the controls, the eggs-o-skeleton skids across the room, knocking Sonic off his feet, before ending up on its back. Sonic must lose all his rings (or a life).

Squirting the Octopus ink in Robotnik's direction, Sonic manages to cover the glass viewing-plate. Unable to see where it is going, the eggs-o-skeleton stumbles blindly round the room, leaving the way to the teleporter clear. Add 1 minute to the time elapsed. If the total time is now 10 minutes or more, turn to **224**. (set:$Timer to it-1)(display:"Timer")(if:$Timer>-1)[ If it is less, [[turn to **300**|300]].]

(display:"Timer") Leaving the echidna lying in a heap on the walk-way, Sonic and Tails hurry off in search of a way to get off the Weather Egg. Does Sonic have a triangular key? (if:$TriangularKey is "True")[If he has, [[turn to **174**|174]]; otherwise, turn to **41**.](else:)[If he has, turn to **174**; otherwise, [[turn to **41**|41]].]

'Hey, Tails, I've got a good idea,' Sonic says as they speed along. 'No, it's a good one this time, honest. Eat these,' he adds, handing over several bananas. As they run, the heroic duo scoff down as many bananas as they can, tossing the empty skins over their shoulders. From behind them they soon hear the sound of Badniks crashing to the ground. (set:$Timer to it-1)(display:"Timer") Add 1 minute to the time elapsed, then [[turn to **142**|142]].

As Sonic feared, the robots soon catch up with the pair.

Dashing through the door marked 'Teleporter', Sonic and Tails clamber over the broken bits of Android and thrust the triangular key into its socket. (Add 1 minute to the time elapsed; if the total time is now 10 minutes or more, turn immediately to **224**.) (set:$Timer to it-1)(display:"Timer")(if:$Timer>-1)[ As the teleporter hums into life, Sonic looks up in horror, to see a strange, mechanical, robot-like contraption step between it and them. It looks like a large metal egg with robotic arms and legs. Through a glass plate in the front Sonic can see the leering features of his nemesis, Dr Robotnik! 'You won't escape me this time, vermin! Ah ha ha ha haaa!' the mad scientist roars. Pushing a control, he sends his eggs-o-skeleton stomping towards Sonic and Tails. Our heroes will have to fight, but how?

You don't read it through from front to back like you would a normal story. In *Stormin' Sonic* you will decide how Sonic and his pal, Tails, will defeat the sinister Dr Robotnik. How will they fight the Badniks, and how will they overcome all the other tricks, traps and puzzles they will encounter along the way? The choice is yours. If you choose well for them, they will win. If you make the wrong choices — well, you'll soon discover what happens then! <div class="game">Correction: This is not an ordinary gamebook, it's an electronic gamebook. The text presented here was first published in 1996 by the Penguin Group, and wherever possible the text is presented unaltered. Any additional information will be presented in this format. Any dice rolls or note-taking will be automatic, and page turning will be done with links, [<div style="font-weight: normal; display: inline;">like this</div>]<example|.(click:?example)[]</div> Before you start to read the adventure, take a quick look through the simples rules which are set out on the next few pages. They are not at all complicated, so don't worry! They are like those used in the other Sonic gamebooks in this series — so, if you have already played one of those, the rules will be familiar. You will also need one ordinary six-sided dice, a pencil and an eraser. <div class="game">If you are familiar with the rules you may [[skip to Sonic's Vital Statistics|Sonic's Vital Statistics]].</div> <center>**Playing the game**</center> In *Stormin' Sonic* you help guide Sonic and Tails through the action. Every so often our heroes will need advice on what to do next, and it's up to you to decide for them what they should do. Their adventure will succeed or fail depending on your choices. The book is divided into three hundred sections, each one with a number. The first section is **1** and the last is **300**, but you don't read them in that order. Instead, each section ends with a list of several different actions that Sonic could take next, and a number for each one. Once you have decided what you want Sonic and Tails to do, turn to the section with that number and read it. Keep doing this until you have either finished the adventure — or have failed along the way! If you lose, you will have to start again and perhaps try to find a different way to victory. <div class="game">This version of the gamebook includes checkpoints that you may return to after a game over. If you wish to play as the authors originally intended you may opt not to do this. Checkpoints will only activate when certain conditions are met to prevent you from being locked into an unresolvable loop.</div> <center>*Sonic's Vital Statistics*</center>Before you start, you have to decide how good Sonic is at doing certain things. Sure, everybody knows that he's very fast and very cool, but do you know exactly how fast and how cool? Here's how you find out. If you turn to page 12, you will see Sonic's *Vital Statistics* sheet: a list of Sonic's abilities, what he is carrying, how many lives he has left, how many rings he has collected, and a few other things besides. Tails doesn't have a sheet of his own; his abilities are the same as Sonic's. There are six of these abilities: Speed, Strength, Agility, Coolness, Quick Wits and Good Looks. Beside each of them is a description of the ability and a box, which is currently empty. Read the descriptions of Sonic's abilities, then choose the one that you think Sonic is best at; write a '5' in that box. Put a '4' in the next best, a '3' in the third best and '2' in all the rest. The different numbers show what Sonic's strengths and weaknesses are; the higher the score, the better Sonic is at doing something. <center>*Doing Things*</center>Some sections of the adventure will ask you to roll on one of Sonic's abilities in order to beat a certain number which is given in the text. This means that you should roll one dice, add the number you've written to that particular ability, and compare it to the number given to beat. If your score is equal to or higher than the number, Sonic has succeeded (all right!). If your score is lower, Sonic has failed (crunch!). Follow the instructions in the section you're reading to find out what happens next. <center>*Fighting*</center>Sonic also uses his abilities to fight his enemies. Sometimes defeating them is so easy that you won't have to roll the dice, but at other times you'll be told to roll for combat against one of Sonic's abilities. It can be any of them, depending upon the enemy and the type of attack they use. All of Sonic's enemies have a rating, and number between five and ten; the higher the number, the more deadly they are at fighting. To fight an enemy, roll one dice and add it to the ability Sonic is using in that fight — the section will tell you which ability that is. If Tails is fighting alongside Sonic, our heroic hedgehog can add three points to this roll. If Sonic rolls equal or higher than the enemy's rating, he has landed a blow on the enemy (wallop!). Sometimes this will destroy the enemy, but some enemies are stronger and will need more than one hit to knock them out. If the enemy are not destroyed, they can try to hit Sonic back. Roll one dice and add it to their own rating. If the result is higher than 10, Sonic has been hit (bam!). If there is more than one enemy, each can try to hit Sonic back in this manner, unless they are fighting one at a time (the text will tell you if this is the case). When Sonic is hit by an enemy or a trap, one of two things will happen. If he is carrying any gold rings, he loses them all. However, if he is not carrying any rings, Sonic must lose a life! If the opponent fails to hit, Sonic can then try to hit again, and so on. <center>*Lives*</center>Sonic starts the book with three lives, just like in the game. If he loses them all, he has failed and must start the adventure again from the very beginning. Tails has no lives of his own; if Sonic loses, then Tails must also start again. There are two way to get extra lives. The first way is for Sonic to find them concealed along the route of his adventure. The second way is to collect 100 rings which he can then swap for an extra life. <div class="game">A peculiarity of this book is that the rules regarding lives differ from others in the series. Other books in the series state that 'if he can collect more than 100 rings, he gets an extra life', while this book implies that 100 rings should be *traded* for a life. This also contradicts text on the *Sonic's Vital Statistics* page. You may interpret the rules on this occassion: <div class="game">[(display:"LivesOptions")]<Options|</div></div> <center>*Carrying Stuff*</center>Sonic starts the game with nothing, but he and Tails may pick up items along the way, or they may lose some in the course of the adventure. Always write any new items down on Sonic's *Vital Statistics* sheet and remember to cross off the ones he and Tails don't have any more. Throughout the adventure, Sonic and Tails will find and collect gold rings, which will protect our heroes from hurt and may help them gain extra lives. When you finish the adventure, your final score will be the number of rings that Sonic has left. Challenge your friends to see who can end up with the most! That's everything you need to guide Sonic and Tails through the dangers that will be inflicted by the Weather Egg.
