The Worst Birthday Ever - Chapter 1

June 23, 2013. World famous hero Sonic the Hedgehog turns 22 on this day! But little did he and his friends know, this day was going to be pretty bad for them.

*Ding dong!*

"I'll get it!" said Miles 'Tails' Prower, Sonic's brother-like companion.
He opens the door to find a black hedgehog with red streaks and a silver fuzzy hedgehog. The black hedgehog was holding a fairly big present with a red bow.
"Oh, hey Shadow and Silver! I guess you want to wish Sonic a happy birthday as well?"
Silver replies, "Oh, we do want to, but this present is from someone else." "Someone else?" "Dr. Eggman wants to say happy birthday as well." says Shadow.

"Eggman?" Sonic said as he came down the stairs. "Are you sure if that present's not a bomb or something?" "Read this card, and see for yourself." Silver hands a birthday card over to Sonic. It turned out to be a voice message.

"Dear Birthday Boy,

While I was walking around plotting my next scheme to finally destroy you, I came across something that is interesting. Apparently some other planet managed to hear about some of your adventures, and they decided to make some video games about them. You were a big hit there. However, after some years, the quality of the games became rather... questionable.

I've managed to get a hold on the two games that were considered the worst of them. A game simply called "Sonic The Hedgehog", and a game called "Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis", probably because it's a port of the first game they made about you which was made for something called the "Sega Genesis". In this gift, there are the two games, and there's a gaming console which will play both games. I've also sent Shadow and Silver because the "Sonic the Hedgehog" game is focused on you three.

Enjoy the games, and Happy Birthday Sonic.
~Dr. Ivo Robotnik"

"Heh. Bad video games? Is that really Eggman's plot to defeat me? Tails, set up the console. I'm up for whatever Egghead's got to throw at me."

"I'm on it!" Tails then took the present and went into the living room.
