Plot

Mario, Luigi, Toad, Sonic and Tails arrive at the British Museum. Toad wonders if Sonic and Tails are imposters, while Tails theorises that Mario and Luigi must be the real characters as Toad is with them. Mario, Luigi, Sonic and Tails approach and greet each other, and Toad explains that he thought that Sonic and Tails were imposters. As Toad is explaining their situations with the imposters, imposters of Mario, Luigi, Sonic and Tails emerge from the gates of the museum, scaring him. Mario, Luigi, Sonic and Tails challenge the imposters to an event to defeat them.

The imposters disappear upon their defeat, and Toad concludes that he, Mario and Luigi know roughly the same amount of information about the Phantasmal Fog as Sonic and Tails after Tails suggests that they look for a fog machine. Toad also explains that he heard that Dr. Eggman was around the British Museum. Mario and Sonic open the museum's gates, and the group head into the museum's courtyard.
