Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Plot
Sonic is an alien anthropomorphic blue hedgehog from another planet who has come to Earth to defend it from Dr Robotnik, his arch-nemesis. Robotnik, Sonic’s arch-nemesis, is a mad scientist whose sole goal is to capture Sonic and figure out how to exploit his super-speed and other abilities to rule the world. On his previous mission, he was defeated by Sonic and sent to a mushroom realm, where he vows to return and exact his revenge.
He befriends Tom Wachowski, a Green Hills officer, and stops Robotnik. Sonic has made himself at home with Tom and his wife, Maddie by the sequel. While the pair is on vacation, Sonic runs across an old acquaintance named Tails and embarks on a quest to stop his old foe once more.
