The Detour is a complete story written by Nigel Kitching, drawn by Richard Elson, coloured by Nigel Dobbyn and lettered by Tom Frame. Sonic and Tails have found themselves lost and they're not even sure they're on Mobius anymore. The situation gets worse as they find themselves lost in a maze, tackled by a minotaur and forced to do battle with a herd of yetis. Tails realises someone must be listening to him and Sonic confronts the Tantaror menace responsible for summoning the monsters.

Fall of the Leaf is a 2-part story by Lew Stringer, Dobbyn and Elitta Fell. Tails has visited the Eldorado Zone for a veggie burger but is forced to help the citizens when a Drill-Bot attacks a restaurant.
