Learning of Snively's plan to destroy the Mobian Jungle with his Eco-Destroyer and Dr. Robotnik's fear of jungles, Uncle Chuck contacts Sonic and the other Knothole Freedom Fighters. Determined to save the jungle and its inhabitants, the Freedom Fighters split up, with Sonic and Rotor forming one team. After a brief foray into the jungle, Sonic eats a bunch of Narcolyptus Berries and falls asleep while he and Rotor are taken captive by a band of Gorillas. Dismissing the warnings Sonic and Rotor give them about Dr. Robotnik and Snively, the Gorillas put Rotor to work making Mobian stew.
