There are two worlds, each inhabited by their own set of characters. One of these worlds is inhabited by Video Game Characters. Their "master" is the Master Hand, a being that is nothing, but a right human hand. The other is the Cartoon world. Their "master" is Princess Celestia, a pony that has both a horn and wings. Neither world has known about the other until now...

In an unknown space

Tabuu: Damn! Defeated by those lousy Smashers! My plans are ruined! Huh, another world? Maybe I CAN take down both worlds together! All I need is to study that world.

One Year Later:

Sonic and his best friend, Miles Prower, who likes to be called Tails, are running to rescue Princess Peach Toadstool from Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik

Sonic: Tails, why do you think that Egg face would want to capture Peach? Isn't that Bowser's job?

Tails: I don't know Sonic, maybe he wanted to lure Mario into a trap.

Sonic: Well he sure failed in THAT objective (stops running) Hey Tails, look! (both look up) Seems like we made it to Eggman's lair.

Tails: Alright! Let's rescue the Princess

(Both are unaware that Eggman has been watching them)

Peach: Ha! Looks like you're defeated, Sonic will rescue me

Eggman: Fat chance! Get a load of this!(pushes buttons)

Tails: Sonic, watch out, Badniks!

Sonic: He doesn't get it, does he?

(After defeating all Badniks, he burst open the door to where Eggman and Peach have been watching)

Peach: YYYAAAYYY!
Eggman: Silence! Sonic, you may have gotten through my badniks, but you won't rescue the Princess!

Sonic: I will, Eggman! (Performs a homing attack onto the machine that was holding Peach, sparks come flying out, the entire ground begins to shake!)

Eggman: Look at what you've done! My dimensional transport machine is going haywire!

(outside, on a floating island)

Knuckles: The Master Emerald, it's sensing something!

(Everythin disappears in a white flash!)
