Sega.
Why is it that late already?
What time is it?
Huh?
You are the blue hedgehog.
Huh! What the?
Do not be alarmed.
I am Shara, the genie of the ring.
You know, like Aladdin in the Magic Land?
Don't think I've read that.
What? You've got to be kidding me.
It's the best story of all the Arabian Nights.
Or at least the second best.
But that's besides the point.
Please, look at this.
Hey, the page is blank.
Our world, the world of the Arabian Nights, is vanishing.
Vanishing? But how?
This is the work of an incredibly evil spirit, the Eraser Jin.
Eraser Jin?
Yes, he used his evil magic to become even more powerful.
He could not bear to simply remain in the book any longer.
And so he has begun to set the inscriptions free,
absorbing the power of the book itself.
The power of the book?
If our world ceases to exist,
then not only will those stories be silenced forever,
but the Eraser Jin will then be unleashed into your world.
That definitely sounds like trouble.
But what do you want me to do?
I want you to stop him.
You must stop the Eraser Jin.
Only you, the blue hedgehog, can do it.
So this guy needs someone to put him in his place, does he?
I suppose I can help out with that.
It might even be fun.
But this is all just something out of a storybook, right?
How am I supposed to do anything about that?
That's easy.
You are my master, having called forth the genie of the ring.
As such, I am able to grant your wishes.
Simple wishes, at any rate.
Bringing you into the world of the Arabian Knights is within my power.
What? Inside that book?
Now please, place the ring on your finger.
Like this?
Ouch! Hey, take it easy.
My apologies, O master, but now the contract has been sealed.
Contract?
Yes, as master of the ring.
I am now bound to protect you.
Now, rub the ring.
Like, like this?
Oh, master of the ring, what is thy wish?
Hut-choo! Hut-choo!
How about a handkerchief for starters?
Make that a few.
Thanks, you're a lifesaver.
You see, I caught this cold yesterday and...
Please, be serious.
Okay, okay. Thanks for the hankies, though.
Oh, please, someone tell me that this isn't really happening.
Alright, let's go. Take me to this world of the Arabian Knights.
As you wish, master.
Quit it, will you? My name's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog.
Very well then, Sonic. The legendary Hedgehog.
Here we go, into the world of the Arabian Knights.
Okay.
Now this is first class. Here we go!
Tilting the Wii remote to the left and right will move you in that direction.
Two button and release to jump.
Attack while jumping. When the lock on mark changes from green to red,
move the Wii remote forward quickly.
Send release the two button to do a small jump.
Grind on places that have squared edges.
Okay, so who's this guy who's trying to make the world disappear again?
You mean the Eraser Gin?
Yeah, that's right. Can you take me to him?
There is no need.
What do you mean?
He's here!
What's that all about? Talk about close shapes.
Maybe you know where I can get my quills sharpened, too?
Sonic! That's him!
He's the evil spirit who is striking the words of our world from the pages.
You! You must be that blue rat that just got added to the story.
Don't you know anything? I'm not a rat. I'm a hedgehog!
Ha ha ha ha! I am Eraser Gin.
I am the one who shall carve up this world as I see fit.
Yeah, well, if you're gonna do that, can you at least wait until I'm done reading it first?
Sonic!
One hundred of the one thousand and one nights have already been wiped clean.
And soon the rest shall join them night by night.
And then with the seven world rings?
Seven world rings?
You have gathered the seven world rings for me.
Have you not, Shara, my dear?
Are you still going on about that?
I told you those things don't even exist, and even if they did, I'd never give them to you.
Oh, wouldn't you, though?
I suppose a suitable punishment is in order, then.
Look out!
Sonic!
Ha ha! So, this is how judgment is dealt, is it?
Hmm, this should be interesting.
You listening?
Bring me the seven world rings before the arrow of flame extinguishes.
If you do not, you're lying.
Next, I think I shall collect the life of King Sharia!
The king is the creator of the Arabian Knights and the main character of the story.
With my speed, we'll just have to make sure we get to him first!
