Hello VG Facts,
Back when I was a kid, I used to read a magazine called Disney Adventures that was filled with various articles, puzzles, and comics that were generally, but not always, Disney related. One exception during the first year of the magazine's publication was a Sonic themed comic that related a story that I've never seen or heard talked about since. In the story a brown hedgehog goes to the local kindly scientist, named Kintobor, to talk about how he can freakishly run faster than anyone else. Kintobor builds Sonic some running shoes that can handle the advanced speed, just before attempting to test Sonic's top speed on a specially built treadmill. However, Sonic breaks it when he breaks the sound barrier, and going so fast also turned him blue. The damage also caused a reaction that transformed Kintobor into a robot. Renaming himself Robotnik, he declares Sonic his enemy and attacks him. The comic ended there with an advertisement for the new Sonic game.
My question is, was this story canon, possibly just in America, and can you track it down? I'm not sure which of the first twelve issues of Disney Adventures it was in, but it would be neat to see it again.
Your help is appreciated.
