PlotEdit

In the 1964 National Stadium, the Long Jump event is next, with Dr. Eggman leaving the victory to Bowser, only for him to lose it to Mario. Afterwards, Dr. Eggman pulls Bowser to the sidelines. Bowser asks him why they are collecting medals instead of finding ways to return to the real world, and Dr. Eggman explains to him that the only way to escape the game is to collect gold medals, with his claim earlier about there being no way to return having been a lie to hide information from Mario and Sonic. However, Toad reveals that he overheard the conversation, and he relays the information to Mario and Sonic. They go to confront the villains to verify that they were not lying, but they find that the villains managed to escape while Toad was explaining. A nearby Pecky tells Toad that Dr. Eggman flew westward, so Sonic decides to chase him, while Mario and Toad look for Bowser. While Sonic is looking for Dr. Eggman, he finds a Pocky standing next to his Eggmobile. After the Pocky tells Sonic that Dr. Eggman boarded a bullet train, he sees him on the train and chases after it. After beating the train to Tokyo Station, Sonic searches for Dr. Eggman, but he does not find him and leaves. Dr. Eggman, who was hiding behind a tree, then declares that his plan to stall Sonic was a success and uses this time to find more venues to compete in. Meanwhile, Mario and Toad go to Sumida River to find Bowser. After seeing Bowser flee on a boat, Mario boards another boat and chases him on the lake. After intercepting Bowser's escape, he and Toad corner him at a dock, but when Toad enrages Bowser and hides behind Mario, they get distracted and talk about random things, and Bowser uses the distraction as an opportunity to escape. Eventually, Sonic arrives, and he and Mario both report that their villains got away and that they are probably meeting somewhere.
