The following review was done by
Alessandro Sanasi (tyro@deco.franken.de). The beginning
was cut out since it only stated who to send this review to.
Do not download and display any of these graphics on your web page or

fine. Thanks, and enjoy! (And if you're going to ask, yes, I have the Anime. :)
Thanks to Seiji and Maringa J. Micik for their help.
Phew. :) Now on with the story:
The film begins with a lifeless Metal Sonic hanging in some sort of blue
energy field. Dr. Eggman appears and says that HyperMetalSonic is his
newest weapon to destroy Sonic. But the robot should be patient a little
longer, until everything is prepared. With Eggman's last words, Metal
Sonic's eyes come to life and start to glow in an evil red color.
In the next scene we see an old owl flying toward Sonic's headquarters in
some sort of mini-plane that could need a few mechanical fixups. Said
'headquarters' seems to be built out of a sattelite antenna, an Apollo
rocket, two railway wagons, something that looks like the wreck of the
Enterprise, and a Boeing 747 at ground level. Sonic is relaxing on the
beach, and Tails comes running out of the Boeing to excitedly show him his
new self-made surfboard with rocket boosters. Tails asks Sonic if he
would like to try it out, but Sonic turns down the offer. So Tails jumps
into the water alone, while Sonic turns on his stereo and notes that the
little fox is still a real kid.
Tails powers up his surfboard and gives Sonic a good splash of water in
the process. While he zooms past, Tails demonstrates a few stunts and
calls to his friend that even Sonic would have a lot of fun with this,
although he can't swim. Sonic just lies back and tries to relax again.
When Ojisan the owl appears (Ojisan means something like 'old man') and
Sonic hears Tails scream, he first reacts very annoyed and yells that the
fox should be quiet, until he realizes what's going on.
