1930 is one of the Spirits of the Years Past. Having returned from the Time Stream, 1930 is a stereotypical Northern human. Unhappy with the life as it is, 1930 decided to enter the Time Stream again instead of 1999. This change in schedule caused the creation of the Time Waster who threatened to destroy all of time. The old spirit "coshed" the young 1999 over the head with a black pudding before heading to the Time Stream, unaware of the damage he could cause. Amy Rose chased him down and convinced him that things weren't any better in his day. 1930's change of heart made the Time Waster disappear and allowed 1999 to enter the Time Stream as planned.
