History[]
Sonic Spinball[]
In the 16-bit version of Sonic Spinball, Dr. Robotnik built the Veg-O-Fortress on Mount Mobius, from where be planned to robotizatize all beings on Planet Mobius. Using the lava pumping through the mountain, Robotnik was able to harness the volcanic energies to power his fortress's generators, although he had to use Chaos Emeralds to keep the mountain's volcano stable or it would explode.[2][3]
Eventually, Sonic and Tails used a a plane to approach Mount Mobius, only for the Veg-O-Fortress's artillery cannons to start firing at them. This made Sonic fall onto the sea near Mount Mobius, though he managed to make his way into the Toxic Caves, the lowest point of the Veg-O-Fortress. From there, Sonic climbed up through the fortress on the inside, collecting Chaos Emeralds along the way to destabilize Mount Mobius's volcano. Eventually, he also destroyed the Veg-O Machine, which caused the entire fortress to crumble. In an attempt to escape, Robotnik tried to fly away in a rocket ship, only for his ship to be destroyed by Sonic. As Sonic and Robotnik then fell from the sky, Sonic was rescued by Tails in his plane, while Dr. Robotnik fell into Mount Mobius as it sunk into the sea.
