Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were all rolling around at the speed of sound at the Emerald Coast, only for the trio of animals to stop in their tracks as they saw Dry Bowser, noticing that the bony reptile was selling umbrellas on the wooden boardwalk.

"Hey! Get a load of bonehead over here!" Sonic laughed as he zipped right up to the business, rubbing his big nose. "So, what's the deal?"

"The deal is that I'm running a business. I'm a salesman." Dry Bowser stated as he held a yellow colored umbrella in his skeletal hands. "Want one? It only costs, oh say, 30 rings."

"Thirty? How can we afford that?" Tails moaned as he placed his hands on his head.

Knuckles chuckled. "Like this!" He then dashed off, heading to the giant hotel overlooking the sandy beach as he came back, with some stocks in his knuckles. "See? You gotta invest in order to make money!"

Sonic and Tails squinted their eyes as Knuckles handed Dry Bowser the stocks, with Knuckles suddenly getting rings in his hands as the two exchanged glances with each other.

"Enjoy it. You'll certainly get use out of it." Dry Bowser said as he handed Knuckles the umbrella, who proceeded to glide with it despite already being able to glide.

Sonic and Tails both slapped their hands on their faces as they couldn't believe how gullible Knuckles was, with Dry Bowser laughing as he placed the yellow rings away into his charcoal shell.
