After escaping from the flightless fox, the last of the Echidnas, and the demonic hedgehog (X / Sonic.exe / Xenophanes), you were now transported to a DIFFERENT zone…

Enter Marble Zone, the ruined depths lead to a certain evil genius, both his hands gone, and his head messed up…

“I was the diamonds, he was the dirt in here, now that HORRIBLE hedgehog made me eat crow!”

And then..

“Huhuhaha!”

…Was he laughing at himself of the failed attempts of demonic hedgehog?
