The Scattered Items
"The Scattered Items" is the twelfth chapter of the Story Mode in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
Plot[edit]
Several mysterious items begin falling from the sky into various parts of 1964 Tokyo. Once Dr. Eggman realizes that Eggman Nega has come to assist him and Bowser in the Tokyo '64, he begins laughing evilly, stating how he was able to alter the game's programming to send items to him and Bowser. With this, Dr. Eggman now knows that he has to use the power-ups to get gold medals to get out of the game, so he and Bowser separate to find the various power-ups lying around the 2D Tokyo. Knowing that they cannot stand a chance against them if they obtain the power-ups, Sonic and Mario leave to go find the villains and stop them from taking them. At the Tokorozawa Shooting Range, they find Dr. Eggman, who has already managed to obtain one of the power-ups, which is a piece of sushi that he dubs the Miracle Roll. He consumes the roll and, although it is tasteless, feels the power that the roll gave him, stating that everything about him has been amplified. However, Sonic believes that, even with the power of a Miracle Roll, he can still beat Dr. Eggman any day. To prove this, Mario challenges Dr. Eggman to the Shooting event that is going on here. Sonic's claim becomes a reality when Dr. Eggman loses the gold medal to Mario despite his possession of the Miracle Roll. Thinking that more Miracle Rolls will help him, Dr. Eggman flees the shooting range, while Sonic also realizes how bad it could be if Bowser were to obtain the Miracle Rolls.
As the heroes go to find the Miracle Rolls before the villains can, they meet Toad at the base of Tokyo Tower, and he states that there is a light shining from the top of the tower, which he believes is one of the Miracle Rolls. Mario wants to climb the tower, but Toad stops him because Dr. Eggman's robots are all guarding the tower, making it very dangerous. To solve this problem, Mario strikes from the sky with an airplane while Sonic stands on top of it, with Mario using lasers to deal with the robots as well as Dr. Eggman himself, who is in his Eggmobile. Once the heroes acquire the Miracle Roll, they land back on solid ground, but Toad warns them that Dr. Eggman and his robots fled to other Miracle Rolls, so they make it their mission to stop them from getting any more Miracle Rolls. They head to the Museum, but they are blocked at the entrance by a group of Toads, who say that a Miracle Roll fell from the sky and ended up on the fourth floor of the Museum, and that the Koopa Troop has seized the Museum while evicting the Toads, in order to keep it under lockdown until Bowser arrives. Not wanting to let Bowser get the Miracle Roll, Mario sneaks through the Museum past all of Bowser's guards to get it himself, and after he succeeds, all of Bowser's minions leave out of fear that Bowser will punish them for their failure. With Sonic wondering about the Miracle Roll being tasteless as Dr. Eggman said, Mario gives it a try for himself, confirming Dr. Eggman's statement as well as the fact that the power-up has no effect on him, meaning they cannot get any power from Miracle Rolls, but they can still keep Bowser and Dr. Eggman from getting them.
