Story[]

Investigating the Casino Night Zone with Porker Lewis, Sonic encounters a destitute dog who has lost everything gambling. The statue of Dr Robotnik looming over the Zone is constantly firing out beams, hypnotising visitors into becoming compulsive gamblers, but Sonic and Porker have made plans to put a stop to it. Inside the statue's head, the Marxio Brothers, owners of the Zone, are in contact with Robotnik. He knows Sonic is planning a raid, and threatens to send the brothers back to Super Marxio World should they fail to get rid of the hedgehog. Back outside, Porker's disruptor isn't affecting the Zone's central computer. Porker theorises that they aren't close enough, and Sonic, having had enough, grabs the disrupter and charges in. The Marxios are watching, and call in the Troopers. Sonic takes a few out, but soon plunges through a hole in the floor and thus into a giant pinball machine. He escapes, only to find that the Marxios have captured Porker. Moments later, Sonic and Porker have been tied to the Zone's rollercoaster track, and the cars are fast approaching.

As their demise approaches, Sonic seems to have no plan, and Porker breaks down in tears. Naturally, Sonic was joking, again displaying his strange sense of humour, and he thus vibrates his hands at supersonic speeds, loosening the ropes. While Porker goes free, Sonic rides the coaster back to the ride station, and pursues the Marxio Bros into the heart of the Zone. The Marxios have the disruptor, and though Sonic tries to retrieve it, Grouchio smashes it, at which point Sonic sprints out. He reveals that he has merely been buying time for Porker to reprogram the Zone's computer so the machines finally start paying out. Just before the angry Marxios can attack, the statue's head explodes off of its body, taking the computer with it. With the Marxios distracted, Sonic and Porker retreat to freedom, the hedgehog vowing that putting a stop to Robotnik's Casino Night scheme is just the beginning....

Trivia[]

  • The Marxio homeworld is mentioned here as "Marxio World", but their next adventure would see them contemplate a return to "Super Marxio World".
  • Unless he has a twin brother, that's Johnny Lightfoot riding the rollercoaster with Joe Sushi. Did Johnny have a day off?
