Sega has released an adorable animated short prologue for Sonic Superstars starring the villainous trio Dr. Eggman, Fang the Hunter, and newcomer Trip.
The short, which was shared on Sonic the Hedgehog’s official social media accounts on Wednesday, is directed by IDW Sonic comic artist Evan Stanley and Tyson Heese, written by Ian Flynn, and animated by Powerhouse Animation. It mostly centers on Fang’s journey into the ruins with his cohorts before the events of Sonic Superstars.
While escorting Dr. Eggman and his hapless new helper Trip through a perilous ruin, Fang the Hunter will need to muster all his cunning to overcome past mistakes and escape the coils of a fierce new enemy.

In the short, Fang has a nightmare where he encounters Sonic and the gang, who best him by inserting the battery of the Marvelous Queen the wrong way, sending his vehicle plummeting to the ground with the drill and Amy delivering the final blow with her Piko Piko Hammer, jolting him awake. As Eggman studies the mural depicting the people who look like Trip, Fang encounters a vicious red snake, and he relies on the memory of his nightmare to come up with a strategy to defeat it.
Sonic Superstars is the purple jerboa’s first video game appearance in 27 years since Sonic the Fighters, a Sonic-themed fighting game that disappointed fans of fighting games like Street Fighter and Fighting Vipers but became an obscure gem for Sonic fans, which wasn’t obscure anymore with its inclusion in Sonic Gems Collection in 2005
Sonic Superstars releases October 17.
