Mobius

## Planet Mobius

Sonic's homeworld

**Planet Mobius,** also known as **Sonic's World**, is a location in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It the homeworld of the Mobians and Overlanders and is the overall main setting of the series where the majority of events take place. Much of the world is governed by Mobius' own GUN division, while some territories are under the control of the Eggman Empire. However even territories that are not completely controlled by the Eggman Empire have bases stationed within them which are run by Egg Bosses. . Notable for its many oddities and hidden wonders, it is a lush and beautiful planet in Sonic's universe that is inhabited by various creatures, most notably the human-like Overlanders and the anthropomorphic Mobians.

Throughout its history spanning over a billion years, Mobius has seen the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, major wars and tragedies, and visits from beings from other planets. Unfortunately, various members of its inhabitants have developed weapons of mass destruction, and several power-hungry tyrants have caused incidents and crises alike. Due to this, the planet is far from peaceful, and though some have proposed to unify all its inhabitants in a world without violence, none of these attempts have been successful. Nonetheless, the majority of the people on earth are well meaning at heart and only wish to live their lives and make their dreams come true.

In the present day, Dr. Eggman, a human super-genius, seeks to conquer the planet and enslave its inhabitants. At every turn, however, the doctor's plans for world domination have been thwarted by Sonic the Hedgehog and his numerous friends and allies, manage to maintain the stability of peacefulness of the planet.

## Description

Mobius, much like the earth, is a spherical astronomical body. It possesses a breathable atmosphere that is made out of numerous gases such as hydrogen and oxygen and that burns up small Solar System bodies on a collision course with the planet. Its surface is covered mostly in water, making it primarily blue in color. Dotting the planet's surface are also a number of massive continents that can be seen from orbit, as well as a "bajillion" of smaller islands that cannot be seen from space. In addition, it possesses a moon that orbits it. Other satellites and similar objects include Little Planet, a tiny world that appears above Never Lake for one month every year and vanishes completely for the remaining 11 months; and the Lost Hex, an unexplored floating continent hidden in the planet's sky.

The landscapes covering Mobius are very diverse, to the point that the entire planet can be considered a pretty crazy place, namely due to its checker-patterned soils, floating islands of various sizes, and natural loop-de-loop rock formations, which can be attributed to the "twisty, bouncy beauty of nature". The planet's natural environments range from barren deserts and deep canyons to fertile valleys, sandy coastlines, fiery wastelands, frozen polarcaps, grassy hills, expansive jungles and forests, underground tunnel networks, and undersea regions.

Mobius is also home a number of settlements built by civilizations that include, but are not limited to, countless cities spread around the planet, with at least six of them possessing significant influence over the rest. Some cities appear very advanced in terms of technology. Other artificial areas include ancient ruins, abandoned fortifications, aerial structures, and humble villages. Robots and breakthrough technology are also common.

Mobius is home to a plethora of different species and creatures coexisting peacefully with one another, including Overlanders, animals of various species and races (anthropomorphic or otherwise), Chao, and later Wisps; although overlanders and Mobians remain the planet's dominant species. The planet also houses several forms of supernatural creatures like ghosts; several deities that include Chaos; and physical embodiments of nature. Even Mobius itself has been speculated to have a will of its own.

The planet is full of fascinating countries, each with its own cultures and people. The anthropomorphic animals usually live on the islands dotting the planet while Overlanders tend to live in the bigger countries. Other countries also exist, each modeled after real-world locations.

Over the course of the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series, Mobius has been portrayed inconsistently, its landmasses and locations having often varied in size and shapes from game to game. Sometimes, Mobius has included locations and areas from the real world, like Japan and South America, and in other cases, it is portrayed with entirely new and original locations not seen elsewhere.

## History

### Past

A long time ago, Earth and Sonic's world were once one planet. However, as a result of an unknown cataclysmic event, the planet was split in two. Afterward, each planet piece ended up in their own dimension with their own separate timelines.

4,000 years ago, there was a culture known as the Fourth Great Civilization. This civilization created a weapon known back then as the "Gizoid", a learning robot capable of copying combat and weapon data, as well as harnessing the Chaos Emeralds' power. Eventually though, the Gizoid's great power caused the destruction of the Fourth Great Civilization, and the Gizoid itself vanished.

Approximately 4,000 years ago, the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald resided in the Altar of Emerald. This altar and the Chao inhabiting it were guarded by a deity known as the Sprit of Water. Back then, there was also an ancient civilization of echidnas known as the Knuckles Clan, which ruled the territory encompassing the Mystic Ruins during a time or rivaling warlords. During his leadership of the clan, Chief Pachacamac, seeking domination and power, led his clan into a series of successful wars that greatly increased the Knuckles Clan's prosperity. Unsatisfied however and hungry for more power, Pachacamac plotted to steal the Chaos Emeralds. Disapproving of his warmongering, Pachacamac's daughter, Tikal, tried preventing this unnecessary raid. However, her efforts were for nothing, and Pachacamac ultimately injured both Tikal and many Chao when he attacked the altar. Seeing its friends hurt, the Spirit of Water became a corrupt being through anger and sadness, and used the Chaos Emeralds to turn into Perfect Chaos. As Perfect Chaos attacked the Knuckles Clan though, Tikal sacrificed herself to seal herself and the Spirit of Water inside the Master Emerald before Perfect Chaos could destroy the rest of the world. After that, the Chaos Emeralds were lost and the Spirit of Water became known as "Chaos". Humbled by the attack, the remaining members of the Knuckles Clan used the Master Emerald's power to suspend the Emeralds' altar area into the sky, creating Angel Island. There, the Knuckles Clan would live, bearing the duty of observing and protecting the Master Emerald, so that an incident with Chaos would never happen again. Over the years however, the Knuckles Clan entered terminal decline.

The infamous Dr. Ivo J. Robotnik, somehow wound up on Mobius and began planning to establish his own empire and dominate the world. Some of his known operations involved establishing and building a massive interstellar amusement park to harness the Hyper-go-on energy of the alien Wisps. However, he was unable to finish the park until years later. In addition, his other plans for domination would be wrecked by a young hedgehog named Sonic, who soon became his worst enemy.

### Present

For some time, various conflicts between Dr. Robotnik and Sonic would occur on certain regions of Mobius over the fate of the planet. Fortunately, the hedgehog would always come out victorious, ensuring the world would live in peace before the doctor would strike back, repeating the process.

At some point, Cocoa Island was invaded by the Battle Kukku Empire when its leader, the tyrannical Great Battle Kukku XV, sought to get the Chaos Emeralds that were resting there to achieve world domination. However, their operations soon began to backfire due to interference from Miles "Tails" Prower, who repelled the empire's forces from the island. Eventually, Tails infiltrated the Battle Kukku Empire's base of operations, the Battle Fortress, and defeated what was left of the empire, leaving the Battle Fortress to sink in the sea.

Around this time period, Dr. Robotnik and his minions invaded South Island in the doctor's bid to find the six of the seven Chaos Emeralds resting there and use them to conquer the planet, but this plan was foiled by Sonic, sending the six Emeralds, alongside the seventh one, to West Side Island.

In the aftermath of this incident, Little Planet made its annual appearance over Never Lake. Seeking to get the seven Time Stones resting on the tiny planet to control time itself, Robotnik chained Little Planet to a mountain in Never Lake and took over the planet. Fortunately, however, Sonic went to Little Planet, where he defeated Robotnik and secured the Time Stones. After being saved, Little Planet would leave Sonic's world for another 11 months.

Soon after, Dr. Robotnik invaded Westside Island to get the seven Chaos Emeralds there, much like how he did on South Island earlier. This time though, he wanted the Emeralds to create a massive superweapon, the Death Egg, and launch it to space to achieve global domination. However, interference from Sonic and his new sidekick, Miles "Tails" Prower, forced the doctor to launch the space station without the Chaos Emeralds. Onboard the Death Egg, Sonic encountered and defeated Silver Sonic and the Death Egg Robot, triggering a chain-reaction that caused the massive fortress to enter the planet's orbit and plummet down to the Floating Island. There, Robotnik manipulated the island's local guardian, Knuckles, to help him repair the Death Egg. When Sonic and Tails arrived on the Floating Island, the space station was almost finished and ready to be launched to space. However, the heroes managed to damage the Death Egg and make it fall down to the Floating Island's main volcano. This time, Robotnik betrayed Knuckles and stole the Master Emerald from him to power the once-again-repaired Death Egg, but Sonic and Tails managed to destroy the space station for good and return the Master Emerald back to the Floating Island.

Following the Death Egg's destruction, Dr. Robotnik's rage peaked and made him revisit his past inventions to defeat Sonic once and for all, but this plan ended in failure. Over the next few months, more crises would arise on Mobius due to the doctor's operations, forcing Sonic to go and stop him. In one circumstance, Robotnik kidnapped Sonic, alongside Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel, and sent them to the trap-ridden Eggman Island, where he planned to execute them. However, the trio teamed up and managed to overcome the island's many traps, forcing Robotnik to activate a self-destruction mechanism that caused Eggman Island to explode. Regardless, Sonic, Mighty and Ray successfully escaped in one piece. Another incident would see Little Planet returning to Mobius, allowing the doctor to build a second Death Egg around it, but Sonic and Tails foiled this plan.

During the Phantom Ruby incident, Robotnik discovered an ancient power buried on Angel Island, and sent an elite squad of Eggrobos to obtain it. However, by the combined efforts of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, Robotnik's plans were foiled, which also resulted in Sonic and the Phantom Ruby being sent to the future. Regardless, Sonic returned shortly afterwards alongside the Phantom Ruby, only to find two of his friends, Mighty and Ray, both of whom were trapped in a capsule. After Sonic freed the duo though, one of them was revealed to be the Heavy Magician in disguise, who had survived the previous incident, and set off to revive the other Hard Boiled Heavies who had been destroyed. Thus, now with the aid of Mighty and Ray by his side, alongside Knuckles and Tails, Sonic set off in search of the Phantom Ruby once again. Despite the combined efforts of Sonic and his group, Robotnik once again took the Phantom Ruby, and rematched them with old foes. After chasing down Robotnik to the Titanic Monarch, Sonic and friends were finally able to stop Robotnik, causing a chain reaction which caused the Phantom Ruby to go haywire and create a rift that consumed it and the doctor, and put an end to that scheme for good.

During the Sol Emerald incident, the earth and all of Sonic's universe were threatened when Dr. Eggman made a cooperation with his descendant from the future, Eggman Nega, to create an interdimensional Eggmanland. To create their desire paradise, the villains sought to harness the powers of the Chaos and Sol Emeralds, bringing the dimension into a collision course with the Sol Dimension, another universe. Fortunately, the combined efforts of Sonic and Blaze the Cat resulted in the scientists being defeated and both dimensions being restored.

When the Wisp incident came along, Eggman completed his Egg Planet Park by chaining five planets to it; while he claimed that this was done as a public apology for his past transgressions, the doctor was actually using the chained planets to enslave a local alien race known as Wisps and harness their Hyper-go-on power to fuel a Mind Control Ray, which he would then use to take control of the earth as a stepping stone to achieve universal domination. When Sonic inevitably interfered and liberated the planets from his rule, the villain would fire the charged mind control cannon at earth. However, as the cannon had been damaged, it instead created a Hyper-go-on void that consumed the entire amusement park. Fortunately, the Wisps would neutralize the void, preventing it from causing further damages, and sent the hedgehog back to the surface of the earth.

Following this incident, Eggman would be left stranded in space, where he would come across a mighty creature known as the Time Eater which possessed the power to consume time and space. Coveting this monster's abilities to erase his past mistakes, the doctor tamed the creature and teamed up with a version of himself from the distant past to perfect it. Following that, the villains would tamper with the earth's history, trapping various of its locations and sending them to a white void known as White Space. However, Sonic and Tails, alongside younger versions of themselves, managed to stop this threat and the Time Eater was destroyed. The doctors would then be trapped within White Space and the heroes would return to their respective times while the earth was restored back to normal.

Eventually, Dr. Eggman set foot on the lost continent known as the "Lost Hex" and enslaved its inhabitants, six Zeti demons known as the Deadly Six, to control their electromagnetic abilities. Additionally, he built an Extractor on the floating landmass to drain the life of the earth, which he would then use to power his machines. However, due to interference from Sonic and Tails, the Deadly Six were liberated from their enslavement and rebelled against the doctor, forcing him to team up with the heroes to stop the evil creatures from harnessing the planet's life for their own gain. When the hedgehog defeated the demons though, the scientist used this opportunity to use the extracted life to power a massive Eggrobo mech, which he tried to use to destroy his nemesis. As expected, nevertheless, the villain was defeated, while Tails tampered with the Extractor to return the stolen energy to the dying earth, restoring it yet again.

Following an incident in a past dimension, the mystical Phantom Ruby was transported to the present earth. Happening across this gem, Eggman learned of its impressive powers and sought to use it during his campaign to conquer the world. Having hired the Jackal Squad, a group of mercenaries run by a jackal called Infinite, the doctor ran various tests on the Phantom Ruby, discovering its potential and creating various prototypes based off of it, the final one being incorporated within Infinite to give him the gem's powers. When he invaded a City, the scientist's forces managed to overwhelm Sonic himself and imprisoned him inside of a new Death Egg. Over the next six months, the virtually unopposed Eggman Empire would conquer 99% of the planet in what became known as the War to Take Back the Planet. It was during this conflict that the villain's empire would be opposed by the Resistance, a rebellion created by Sonic's friends. Eventually, the heroes managed to rescue the hedgehog and, with him, reclaim various territories formerly controlled by the empire, destroy the Death Egg and diminish its forces. They would also have help from Classic Sonic and a person known as the Avatar. In the meantime, Eggman moved his army to the Eggman Empire Fortress, where he prepared a doomsday plan to wipe the Resistance out with a sun created by the Phantom Ruby in three days. When the moment came, however, the Avatar used the last remaining Phantom Ruby prototype to dispose of this sun at the last moment, saving the Resistance. With Infinite having been taken out for good by Sonic and his friends, Eggman dispatched a massive Death Egg Robot powered by the real Phantom Ruby as a last-ditch effort to dispose of the heroes. Luckily though, Sonic, Classic Sonic and the Avatar joined forces to defeat this mech, thus ending the Eggman Empire's rule over the earth.
