Toad and Toadette had not realized that running in the Neo Green Hill from Sonic Advance wasn't the way to go, with the two Toads learning a bit too late that this was a test of not using the expected skills to pick up speed.
"Do you ever get the feeling that Neo Green Hill Zone begins on the beach and in the forestry part?" Toadette was the one to speak up first. "I'm just noticing these things."
Toad tilted his head while blinking several times. "Maybe. But why are we here?"
"...perhaps we should try to question why anything else is here!" Toadette spoke, with the two Toads fighting the Egg Hammer Tank that Eggman was on.
