At the beginning of the game, Dr. Eggman turns Miles "Tails" Prower, Amy Rose, Rouge the Bat, and the Master Emeralds into cards. Arriving on the scene, Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna figure out what happened. Knuckles, being bent on saving the Master Emerald, tells Sonic that teamwork is out of the question. Sonic replies that he likes a good challenge.
Elsewhere, Shadow receives a distress signal from Dr. Eggman. Just then, a hedgehog named Silver appears. Silver says that he needs to get to Dr. Eggman before Shadow does. Later on, it's revealed that Dr. Eggman is really Eggman Nega, Dr. Eggman's descendant.
After a final battle involving Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Knuckles, and Metal Sonic, Eggman Nega is defeated. His defeat reverts everything to normal. Silver then takes Eggman Nega back to the future.
