Plot
Chris saves Sonic from the pool, and they become fast friends. Sonic's friends, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Cream and Cheese, come to live with him soon after. They hear of an E-Series robot rampaging downtown Station and ready an unknown model of the Tornado to defeat it, although Sonic's already on his way. As the Tornado leaves with Tails as the pilot, Danny joins in the backseat. Knuckles has already destroyed a robot that was about to harm Cream and Cheese. Another two copies appear and Sonic spin-dashes right through them, heading back to the Tornado. Eggman, Rouge and Shadow reveal their newest weapon, the Tornado having surpassed Beacon. Sonic grabs a ring and is transformed into Super Sonic. Nothing else is really exploited or known.[1]

Production analysis
Original storylines seem to have been created for fights between Sonic and Eggman's team as Shadow was shown to be in the plotline but with no known connection as to how he survived his supposed death in Sonic Adventure 2. Chris and Danny also helped Amy and Tails aid Sonic in the orange X Tornado prototype, although the bios at the end of the video show Chris would have an obviously larger role than Danny. However, Danny's role was shortened much more by the addition of new characters and a plotline revision before Sonic X's release, demeaned even more so by 4Kids Entertainment. While fighting with Shadow, Sonic uses a Ring to become Super Sonic.
