TUTORIAL - SUN MODE

Revor: "The Sun Staff… When you offset someone's attack with this, 'Sun Beans' will be sent to your screen. Unlike regular refugee beans, these things increase your power when cleared. Creating bigger counters, means more sun beans will show up."

Pin: "That sounds annoying!"

Revor: "Well, it's only optional, babycakes. You don't have to use it… But, those little boosts of power can mean a lot. Especially if you want a challenge. Oh, and if you clear you board entirely… You don't get a huge boost in power on the next clearing."

Pin: "What? That's lame!"

Revor: "Buuut instead, depending on the last chain you made before clearing your board, you instead get some sun beans. Try building your chains around the sun beans, and clear 'em. Things will easily turn in your favor."

Pin: "I… Guess if I want to, I'll think about it."

SCENARIO MODE - HARD LEVEL

STAGE 9

Spike: "Tch…! I had a feeling leaving a clumsy ditz like you behind was a bad idea! You're gonna cause trouble, no matter what!"

Pin: "Huh? Do I even know you?"

Spike: "Yeah… You landed on me!"

Pin: "Did I do thaaaat?… Nah, but really. Sorry, I don't remember anything beyond falling."

Spike: "That doesn't matter right now'! What does however, is the fact you're here…C'mon, squirt! Let's see what you're really made of! Forget those rivet-brains you've seen so far! I'm Spike!… And I'm gonna stick it to ya!"

Pin: "Spike… Stick it to me… Oh! You have a rather sharp wit, huh? Good way to make your point."

Spike: "You're a thorn in our sides— Wait, what?"

Pin: "Wahaha!~ I didn't think there was someone who appreciated sharp objects like spikes, needles, pins, and all that… The same way I do!"

Spike: "Y-you're trying to weasel your way out of this! I-it won't work! I'm gonna nail you in this match!"

STAGE 10

Ffuzzy Logik: "Milord is troubled by your success, madam…"

Pin: (Whoa, a knight? That's pretty intimidating actually!) "Who might you be?"

Ffuzzy Logik: "Lord Robotnik's champion, Sir Ffuzzy Logik!"

Pin: "Ah, so you're the final one before the doc himself?"

Ffuzzy Logik: (… I should change the subject, fast.) "Thou art destined to proceed no further, witch—"

Pin: "I want you!"

Ffuzzy Logik: "W…!? Wh-wha-what?! I beg your pardon miss?!" (You seem too young!)

Pin: "Ah, no, I mean… I want you to give me your trident if I win! It's nice, sharp, shiny… And would strike fear into others!~" (Hmm, this sort of misunderstood exchange feels familiar…)

Ffuzzy Logik: "An… Unusual desire. But thou must prove thyself, in a duel against me!"

STAGE 11

Dragon Breath: "Well, well, well! Ol' Ffuzzy-Fface got tied in knots over you, huh?"

Pin: "Friend of his?"

Dragon Breath: "Mmm… Yes and no? We're rivals!… And no one, is allowed to beat him, but me!~"

Pin: "Will I even it out by beating you?"

Dragon Breath: "I'd like to see you try! Then again, doc's sending the boys 'round because of you."

Pin: "I think I can wing it!… Oh wait… You don't have wings despite being a dragon, do you?"

Dragon Breath: "Err…"

Pin: "Kinda negates the puns. Sheesh, I'm running low on them!"

Dragon Breath: (That's what you're worried about? Not me?) "The fun's over now, so long sucker!"

Pin: "Is he serious?"

STAGE 12

Scratch: "You've been scratching around here for too long, worm-bait!"

Pin: "I see myself more as a hook. Sharp, and able to poke back if not handled properly, which none of you have~ The rest of you are closer to bait."

Scratch: "It's time to cross the road and head home pal!"

Pin: "I don't chicken out personally, but I think you will."

Scratch: "I'm winning this one, by fair means or fowl!"

Pin: "… Nope. Got nothin'. You win this one… But all those puns mean nothing in this battle! I'll finish you, then Dr. R!"

Scratch: "Bahaha! Is that right, chickadee? You're just a hatchling!"

Pin: "Urk… I said that's enough! Can we just settle this legitimately now?!"

Scratch: "You'll be clucked-out!"

Pin: "That one doesn't even make sense!"

HARD LEVEL COMPLETE

As the last capsule was opened, freeing whatever was inside, Pin snatched up the new, baton-like wand inside. "Another one… I'm starting to wonder why these things were all incased, but that doesn't matter!" She stepped over the fallen badniks, and went up the path, spiraling up to Robotnik's fort. "I need to save all of them! There's no time to waste!"

Scratch staggered. "Bahawhaaaat?! You're abandoning us?!"

"Get back here! There's no way you can do this yourself!" Spike called out.

Pin swiped up the little white, feathery baton from the ground, and ran off. "This is it, the final stretch…! No one can stop me!" However, Pin didn't realize, how easily she was being tailed by the others so quickly, once they had recollected themselves.

They were at the bottom of the spiraling mountain, yet Pin could see them from such a height as she kept climbing. Except Revor, for some reason, he was nowhere in sight, neither was Katella or MD.

No time to think about it. No time to look back anymore. Pin had to be fast!… Just like another hero capable of fighting Robotnik.
