Sonic the Fighters (ソニック・ザ・ファイターズ Sonikku za Faitāzu?), known as Sonic Championship on arcade versions in North America and Europe, is a competitive fighting video game developed by Sega AM2 for Sega's Model 2 arcade system. The game, which allows players to fight using characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, was released in arcades in Japan in May 1996 and North America in June 1996. The game was included in the compilation disc Sonic Gems Collection for PlayStation 2 and GameCube in 2005. An HD port for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network was released in November 2012.
Dr. Robotnik has built the Death Egg II, along with Metal Sonic. Tails manages to build a rocket ship called the Lunar Fox, capable of flying into space in order to stop Robotnik's plans. However, the Lunar Fox only contains one seat and requires the power of all the Chaos Emeralds (Unique to this game's canon, there are eight Chaos Emeralds total rather than the usual seven). With each emerald in possession of an individual who each wants a shot at Robotnik, a fighting tournament is held to decide who will ride the Lunar Fox into space.
