## History

### Classic Era

#### Seasons of Chaos

One flicky was trapped inside a Ticktock badnik, Sonic destroyed the badnik and liberated the bird while searching for the chaos emerald there. Another Flicky was seen in the Mushroom Hill Zone (Classic) of Angel Island (Classic), while Knuckles the Echidna (Classic) was relaxing. The Flicky, along with the other animals there, were threatened with being squashed by the mushrooms in the zone by Metal Knuckles. Fortunately they were saved by Knuckles, at the cost of giving the robot time to get away with the chaos emerald. (Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special)

#### Flying Off the Rails

Sonic and Tails travelled to Flicky Island for a vacation. There, they discovered that Witchcart trapped most of the flickies in crystal and had her enforcers catch the ones remaining. Witchcart's ultimate aim was to uncover the secret power of the Flickies. After Sonic was trapped in crystal from a surprise attack, Tails was reassured and befriended by a group of non-identical Flickies. They then helped Tails take on each of the witches' enforcers, which resulted in the defeat of Witchcart. (Sonic the Hedgehog: Tails' 30th Anniversary Special)
