Plot[]
The game starts with Ricky watching reruns of Full House in Eric the Hedgehog's apartment, when a siren goes off outside! He sticks his head out the window to see dark spirits and robots ravaging the city! He decides that it's time to finally show the Emperor of Dark Spirits who's boss! Eric comes along saying that Metal Eric is in cahoots with the demon, and is the reason why there are robots. Mighty and Warp decide to come along to help Ricky since he's a friend of Eric. Fuzzy and Cloud, two hedgehogs who have a vendetta against the Dark Spirits, tag along. But before they can get too excited, Ricky knows that he must first visit the Kaonashi Monks to see if he and his companions are strong enough to take down the Emperor!

Trivia[]
- The fact that the Emperor of Dark Spirits was born after Mephiles and Iblis became Solaris again is hinted when the Emperor says "Dad would never let this happen... he would just shoot his opposer, like he did with that blue hedgehog..." during the final boss battle, Round 1.
- The name of the ruined city and jungle is derived from 2 things:
1. How The Three Stooges once called an orangutan: Orangutanga-tanga-ting. 2.The chorus line from the song "Witch Doctor": Ooh Ee, Ooh Ah Ah, Ting Tang, Walla Walla Bing Bang. (also the inclusion of gray langurs in this game refers to a part from "The Rugrats Movie" in which there was a scene where escaped circus monkeys dance around to a monkey-oriented version of Witch Doctor)
- The vendetta that Cloud and Fuzzy have is never revealed, although it's hinted that it's because of the demise of a friend or family member.
