At Forest Falls Zone.
"Ho ho ho ho! It's been a while, hasn't it, Sonic?" Eggman said.
"Hey, Eggman! What have you done with Amy and Tails!?" Sonic asked and he took out two cards.
"Not to worry, they're sound asleep inside these cards."
"Hey, Eggman! The Master Emerald is gone... I'll bet you're behind this, aren't you?!" Knuckles said.
"Heh heh heh... Yes, that's right!" Eggman said and took out a camera. "This camera lets me turn anything into a card... And I'll use it to create the ultimate card collection!" he said and took out two cards. "If either of you want these cards, you'll need to catch me first! Ho ho ho ho!"
"Wait! Come back here! No hard feelings, Sonic, but this time there's no way you're gonna beat me!"
"Okay, Knuckles... Then let's race for it! First one who gets Eggman takes all!" Sonic said smirking a little.
Later.
"All right, Eggman! Hand over those cards!" Sonic said.
"Hmmm... I suppose if you win my little contest, I could give you a card of your choosing." Eggman said.
"What!? That's not what you said before!" Knuckles said.
"Heh! Pretty much what I expected from you, Eggman. Okay, bring it on!" Sonic said.
Later at Colosseum Highway Zone.
"Grr! I'll get you, Sonic!" Eggman said.
"Hey, get back here, Eggman!" Sonic said.
"Get out of my way, I've got some personal business to take care of." Silver said.
"Hey! You sure have an attitude. What are you doing here anyway?"
"I can't tell you why, but I need to get to him before you."
"Okay, Silver. Bring it on... I like challenges!"
After the fight.
"Okay! Now hand over those cards!" Sonic said.
"Grrrrr..." Eggman said.
"Hey! Move aside. I already told you I need to talk to him first." Silver said.
"Yo Silver... you're starting to get on my nerves!" Sonic said.
"Enough of this chit chat... prepare yourself!"
Later at Sky Park Zone.
"It's too dangerous to get close to him! Hyah!" Silver said.
"Hey, what're you doing!? Wha-!" Sonic said and was teleported to the Sky Park Zone. "Where am I!? Looks like we've been transported to a completely different location..."
"Sonic! What are you doing here? And where's the doctor?" Shadow asked.
"Hey, look it's Shadow!? Now I get it, he must be looking for Eggman, too. It must be another race to see who can catch him first! Let's do it!"
Later.
"Heh. Looks like I've left Shadow clear in the dust. Guess he's really not as fast as he thinks." Sonic said.
"Hoh ho ho ho! That was a thrilling little contest there, Sonic!" Eggman said.
"Eggman! What are you up to this time?"
"Heh heh heh... You must be proud of yourself, having beaten Shadow so handily. How do you feel about trying out your skills against my lovely Metal Sonic?"
"Wh-what? Metal Sonic?!"
"Come forth, Metal Sonic! Show this pathetic hedgehog what you're capable of! Now, Sonic, let's see if you really are the fastest thing in the world, shall we? Hoh ho ho ho!"
Later at Crystal Mountain Zone.
"Eggman said something about the strongest and fastest... What's he up to? Ah ha! Looks like I've caught up to him again! Hey, Silver! We meet again!" Sonic said.
"Sonic! Dang! How did he manage to get back here so quickly?" Silver asked.
"Heh! While you've been wasting your time, I've been figuring his next move..."
"What!?"
"If you can keep up, I might tell you what I know! Let's go!"
Later.
"Okay, Eggman! I've proven that I'm the fastest and the strongest! So hand over Tails' card now!" Sonic said and Eggman took out a card.
"You want this card that badly, eh? Hmm... I suppose I have enough data... But if I defeat you now, there won't be anyone left to get in my way in the present, or in the future..." Eggman said.
"The future!? You've given yourself away!" Silver said.
"Heh! That's only IF you can defeat me! Bring it on Eggman!" Sonic said.
Later at Death Yard Zone.
"Curse you, Sonic! I won't forget this!" Eggman said.
"Yes! I got Tails' card back!" Sonic said.
"Phew! Sonic, you saved me! But be careful! I just know that Eggman's got some more tricks up his sleeve." Tails said.
"Don't worry! He can try whatever he wants, but there's no way he's getting away with it."
'Never has and never will.' she thought.
"Sonic? Is that you? And Tails, too? That must mean that you got the card back from Eggman. I'm too late!" Knuckles said.
"Sorry about that, Knuckles, but if you're trying to stay on Eggman's heels, you have to be quicker than that."
"...You better shut your mouth! So you think you can track down Eggman faster than me? Let's do this."
Later.
"You can't run, Eggman! No matter where you try to hide, I'll always track you down." Sonic said.
"Humph! Mouthing off as always... If you're so eager to finish things, why don't you let me oblige you! Metal Sonic! I command you!" Eggman said.
"What, that lame robot copy of yours again? You really need to get ahold of some better toys, you know."
"Heh heh heh... The previous Metal Sonic was able to capture data from your last match... Data I was able to recover! I've already upgraded this new model with that data so that it'll be wise to your little tricks. This time, it's YOU who's going to get sent to the junkyard, Sonic!"
"A copy is still just a copy! It'll never be able to top the original!"
"Grr! Enough of this already! Let's see how you fare against both me and Metal Sonic!" Eggman said.
"Makes no difference to me! Let's go!" Sonic said.
After the fight.
"Unforgivable! You've just made me very very angry!" Eggman said and took out camera. "Fine then! I'll use this camera to turn the whole planet into a card!"
"Are you running away again, Eggman!? Get back here and fight!" Sonic said.
"Ho ho ho ho! You can just sit back and watch! Farewell!"
"Dang it! I'm too late!" Knuckles said.
"Sonic, Knuckles, get in! We can still catch up to him in my new Tornado plane!" Tails said.
"Great timing, Tails! Let's pull together on this one, Knuckles!" Sonic said.
"All right then... Now let's teach that Eggman a lesson!" Knuckles said.
Later at Meteor Base Zone.
"I'll give you a hand, Sonic! Let's take care of him together!" Knuckles said.
"Thanks, Knuckles!" Sonic said.
Later.
"I need you to find the truth! I'll help you, Sonic!" Shadow said.
"Then let's do this, Shadow!" Sonic said.
Later.
"Look, Sonic! Eggman's trying to escape in that rocket with the giant camera on it!" Tails said.
"You're too late, Sonic! I've already gathered enough energy to take a picture of the entire planet!" Eggman said and took out a card. "Once I put this final card through my energy transfer device, the world will be mine! Nice knowing you, Sonic! Hoh ho ho ho!"
"That's Amy's card! I totally forgot about her!" Sonic said.
"We have to hurry before he converts Amy's card into energy!" Tails said.
"Then we gotta hurry! You're not getting away, Eggman!"
Later.
"Where... where am I?" Amy asked.
"Are you okay, Amy? Eggman used his camera to turn us into cards... But Sonic saved us!" Tails said.
"Wow! Sonic! You fought to save me!? You're my knight in shining armor, Sonic! So that means we're going to live happily ever after!"
"Um... Uh, Tails... Didn't Eggman have other cards with him when he split?" Sonic asked.
"Y-Yeah... There might be some others trapped in the cards that need rescuing..." Tails said.
"That's terrible! We've got to find those cards right now! You heard him, right Amy? I've got to run! See ya!" she said and ran away.
"Hey! Wait, Sonic!" Amy said.
