Some years previously, Dr. Ellidy and his daughter Nikki traveled to the Emerald Coast for a vacation. More recently Sonic the Hedgehog, Big the Cat, and E-102 Gamma traveled through this region on various missions: Sonic in search of his friend Tails, Big looking for his friend Froggy, and Gamma fulfilling his directive from Dr. Eggman.
