"Ho ho ho ho!" Dr. Eggman laughed as he was flying around the Casino Park in his floating Eggmobile. "This is great! Surely great!"

"What's great, you egg shaped man of doctoring?" Cubot asked as he rubbed the back of his head.

Eggman growled as he glared at Cubot. "I thought I told you to wait back at the shop!"

"Yeah, you did, but I like flying around in this thing." Cubot commented as he moved his hands about. "What's so great, anyway?"

"All the money I'm raking for selling robotic parts around here!" Eggman commented as he rubbed his hands together. "Just recently at the easternmost point of Casino Park have I built a junkyard for parts of my destroyed robotic parts, so that I can use the money to fuel better, superior mech!"

"...You really think it will work?" Cubot stated as he rubbed the back of his square yellow head with his right hand. "I mean, won't that pesky blue hedgehog Sonic come and ruin your plans like he usually does?"

"Oh shut it, you nitwit!" Eggman shouted as he grabbed Cubot and chucked him into a pinball slot, watching the robot being tossed about like a pinball. Smirking, Eggman took out a red and white striped bag of popcorn, munching on it as he enjoyed Cubot being tossed about.


"Hey... how come all of these robots seem so down?" Petey Piranha asked as he noticed the robots patrolling the heavily carpeted area in the Casino Park were going slower than they usually would elsewhere.

"Probably because Eggman doesn't pay them to stay in top shape. You know how cheap he can be when it comes to things beyond his ego," Dry Bowser commented as he brushed back his red hair, placing his skeletal hands on his bony hips. "You know, just once I wish Eggman could see the world from a different perspective. Maybe then he wouldn't lose all the time."

"Well, he usually only loses to Sonic and his friends." Petey commented as he watched a couple of robots get crushed by various currency of yellow variety falling on them. "I mean, Eggman can do pretty amazing things when he isn't acting evil."

"True. If he didn't have his ego on full attention, the occasional things he do that on the surface don't look threatening can be really great, for the economy and entertainment value," Dry Bowser stated as he noticed the out of date robots falling apart before his eyes, making him shake his skull. "But what's the likelihood of that?"
