Story[]
When Dr. Eggman was creating another hedgehog called Cinos, an evil clone of Sonic, with red fur, blue shoes, black gloves and socks, yellow eyes, and silver buckles, Metal Sonic helped him to trace the body of Sonic. During his research, Dr. Eggman also learned of the Mushroom Kingdom, resulting in him teaming up with Mario's enemy Bowser to create a golden watch, which can hypothize/brainwash anyone, though powering it would require the 7 Chaos Emeralds, which Sonic had at the time. After completing Cinos, Dr. Eggman abducts Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream & Chesse, Rouge, Espio, Shadow,Silver, Blaze, Vector and Charmy and takes them to his Lab, and though Sonic managed to escape at first by transforming into Super Sonic, Bowser Jr launched a surprise attack with the entire Eggman Army, resulting in Sonic getting trapped recaptured. With Sonic and his friends captured and the Emeralds in their posseition, Dr. Eggman using a slightly less powerful version of the Chaos Energy Cannon to drain the Emeralds' power completely (leaving all the power of the Emeralds useless), Boweser then uses the emeralds' power to charge the golden watch, which Eggman then uses to brainwash Sonic and his friends, resulting in their eyes changing from their normal color to red. Big the Cat, who was somehow able to avoid capture, finds out and runs off to the Mushroom Kingdom. After being told this by Dixie Kong, Birdo and Toadette, Mario and Luigi, along with Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Toad, and a friendly Koopa and Shy Guy head off to restore Sonic and his friends and defeat Bowser and Eggman.
