December 1993
First up, "Olympic Trial & Errors." Robotnik has built a stadium to challenge Sonic & Co. to the Robotropolis Olympic Games. The deal: if Sonic can win only one out of four events, Robotnik will leave Mobius. If he loses all four, then the Freedom Fighters have to be roboticized. There's definitely a trap or several. While Sonic was chilling in a pond, a swatbot swapped his sneakers with a pair that drains his energy. Sonic quickly passes out before the Games begin, so Sally, Rotor, and Antoine take his place. They easily lose in long jump, swimming, and weight lifting. The last event is a race against a Buzzbomber. Meanwhile, Tails finds Sonic's real sneakers in some trash and brings them back to him. Sonic runs around the badnik to confuse it, giving Antoine enough time to barely win the race. Robotnik keeps his promise and leaves Mobius forever...YEAH RIGHT. He escapes to fight another day, and that's it.
Ministory of Sonic's ten second workout of him running across the world.
"Chomp On This, Chump!" is the second story. Rotor orders an ant farm which is naturally a trap set up by Robotnik ("We can ant-icipate the end of Sonic and his friends very soon!"). It ends up being a termite that grows the more it eats, and it starts eating up all the FF's stuff in the village. Sonic makes a log made out of pancake batter which ends up clamping the bot's mouth shut. Rotor reconfigures it and sends it to Robotropolis where it eats all of Robotnik's stuff. End.
Ministory of Sonic eating his food really fast and getting sick. In reader mail, someone sent a really long one asking what animal Sally was. Wow...
This issue sucked, that's all I have to say.
