Sonic continued zipping around the world as he was wondering if he would return to a section that he was familiar with. He dashed on the surface of the ocean just south of the Mushroom Kingdom, only to stop by the giant kingdom that was aptly named the Baseball Kingdom.
"Huh. This place looks new." Sonic commented as he landed at the entrance harbor, his hands on his hips as he looked around the entire place, spotting the beach to his left and a colorful, kiddy theme park to the right, walking up to the giant stadium in the middle of the kingdom as he noticed all of the baseball memorabilia, looking at them in awe. "Man, this place... it really is something else..."
He then bumped into a large green crocodile with a large red cape, with Sonic taking a double take as he recognized the giant croc. "Whoa! Aren't you King K. Rool?"
King K. Rool, having been recognized, turned around and nodded his head at Sonic, his hands on his giant, crocodilian hips. "That's me, by far, the feared ruler of the Kremlings!" He frowned as he shook his head, closing his eyes. "Too bad I'm not allowed to appear in any games again."
Sonic rubbed the back of his head with his right hand. "What? That's absurd, why?"
King K. Rool sighed as he placed his left hand on Sonic. "Because Nintendo is stupid and doesn't know how to properly use its characters." He then angrily shook his right hand as he closed his eyes. "Can't believe those moneygrubbing idiots replace me and my race with friggin' tikis..."
Sonic patted King K. Rool on both of his shoulders, smiling. "Hold on, K. Rool! There's no need to be upset!" He wagged his right index finger as he winked. "This problem can be solved without any villans!"
King K. Rool stared at him oddly as Sonic chuckled nervously, folding his arms together.
"Violence. I meant violence." He swiftly corrected himself.
