Floating Island

The Floating Island (also known as Angel Island) is a large patch of earth that floats in the sky due to the magic of the Master Emerald. It is (poorly) guarded by Knuckles, a superpowered echidna.



History
Creation

The Floating Island was created by Hitario during his fight with Evil Guy in an episode of The Super Evil Guy Super Show called Hitario Challenges Evil Guy. Hitario created it using a magical, green cupcake (which would later become the Master Emerald) as a battlefield for his duel with Evil Guy. After he was defeated, Knuckles hatched from an egg that was hidden in the grass and became the island's guardian.

The Island's Near Collapse

The island came close to collapsing onto the ground when the evil Dr. Eggman came to steal the Master Emerald. He was stopped, however, due to the timely arrival of Sonic and Tails.

Its Purpose Today

The Floating Island serves as a home for Knuckles and a few other meaningless animals. It floats in the sky, which is somehow considered special in a world full of floating platforms.
