==Summary==
Sonic the Hedgehog is the main protagonist of Sega of America's Sonic 1 Promotional Comic.
He is a mysterious traveler who found himself in an underground lab owned by an equally mysterious scientist, Dr. Kintobor. Sonic and Dr. Kintobor soon became fast friends, and remained so long enough for the other critters (Sally Acorn, Johnny Lightfoot and Chirps) .Page 3 Sonic even "ran" experiments for the Doctor, using his Experimental Supersonic Treadmill that resulted in Sonic's fur turning Blue (Note: It's unknown if the treadmill granted Sonic his speed but it's likely he wanted to show off based on his attitude).
But later, an accident would occur that would change the world to come. Kintobor would spill soda over his machine, resulting in him getting hit with a feedback loop of conceptual evil while clutching a hard-boiled egg. The kind Dr. Kintobor was no longer, only the malicious Dr. Robotnik remained with a thirst for Total World Domination and ending anyone who stands in his way. The evil doctor and his Badnik Transforming Machine would soon capture Sonic's critter friends, and Sonic himself would be next.
Determined, Sonic intends to find the Emeralds to restore Dr. Kintobor's ROCC device and stop his former friend once and for all.

While Sonic states the Critters are trapped inside, the statement could either refer to his friends being trapped inside metallic, colorfully transformed versions of themselves or the Badniks act as containment units.
