"Wow! Look at this! So vibrant in colors!" Tails exclaimed while following behind Sonic.

"Shut up and focus on the rings so we can get the chaos emerald, okay?"

"Sorry, Sonic. We need 40 rings for the first checkpoint, 80 for the second, and 130 for the third."

"Sure we do. Now follow me!"

"Okay!"

After the special stage...

"You said to follow you, and that's what I did!"

"Except you ran into bombs! Now you need to go away."

"I didn't do anything."

"No, what I ment is for you to stay near the checkpoint instead of jumping in with me, got that?"

"Oh, okay! Sounds fun!"

"It's not supposed to be fun. Whatever you say then."
