| - When Doctor Robotnik was deposed, he and Grimer escaped from the Metropolis Zone and went into hiding on Flickies' Island. Here, Robotnik began making plans to re-conquer Mobius and take his revenge on Sonic the Hedgehog. After setting up a laboratory on the island, the mad scientist eventually discovered an inter-dimensional Mobius Ring, and found out that the Flickies originated from another world. After designing new and improved Badniks to unleash upon Mobius's citizens, Robotnik began experimenting on the Flickies and used them as organic batteries for his new Badnik horde. While Robotnik and Grimer conducted research on the Flickies, one Flicky they had captured managed to escape and fly across the ocean to the Emerald Hill Zone, where it warned Tails (who for some reason could understand "tweet") of danger on Flickies' Island. Tails and Sonic arrived at the island where they were greeted by their old foe Doctor Robotnik, who explained to them what he had been up to and then ordered his new Badniks to attack the two Freedom Fighters. In the time it took for Sonic to destroy one Badnik, Robotnik got the drop on Tails and took him hostage. Before he could take them prisoner, however, the Mobius Ring activated and a Drakon Prosecutor emerged. The Prosecutor took Robotnik prisoner and dragged the scientist back through the Ring. Flickies' Island was temporarily left vacant, until Robotnik returned to Mobius after having forged an alliance with the Drakons. For several months, Flickies' Island served as Robotnik's staging area. Here, wave after wave of Badniks would be deployed to carry out random attacks all across Mobius. The island was left vacant again, however, when Grimer was taken to prison and Robotnik went missing after the Robotnik Reigns Supreme arc.
