==Story==
The story of Sonic Mach takes place 4 years before Sonic Adventure, Sonic is resting on Angel Island with Tails and Knuckles when he feels a small tremor. After ten minutes the tremors got more violent, Sonic decided he would see if anyone was OK. As Sonic dashed the noise of the tremors became louder. As time progessed Sonic found a robot no bigger than a car pounding the ground with large fists, pipes running down the robot's back were stuck in the ground. The robot stopped and looked at Sonic, "YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP ME" The robot exclaimed "BUT I HAVE MY WAYS WITH STOPPING YOU". The robot flew his fist at Sonic and knocked him out cold. After what felt like a coma Sonic awoke to find him surrounded by Tails and Knuckles. "Where are we?" asked Knuckles, "I don't know" replied Sonic "But we have to stop that hunk of metal before it does more damage!", And from there the journey begun.
