Another gateway to one of the New Zones has opened in the Emerald Hill Zone, so Sonic and Amy Rose are off to investigate (and fetch Tekno the Canary a stick of rock). They're shocked to discover that they've entered a world filled with superheroes! Muscleman introduces himself and his six-pack stomach, Amy merely states her power is her "super-patience". Suddenly, the flying Part-Time Powers Man loses his abilities and begins to plummet to the ground. Sonic uses a speed vortex to slow his fall, saving the hero's life. The grateful man invites Sonic and Amy to Herocon - '99, but they're not interested.
