Plot
Sonic and Tails are enjoying sightseeing in London, when red Phantasmal Fog begins to appear. Omochao and a yellow Toad notice the fog rolling in, and decide to head off. Sonic and Tails are confused by the fog, before a Boo appears telling everyone to run away. Sonic and Tails decide to investigate when they are approached by imposters of Mario and Luigi who they believe to be the real characters, and ask them to help investigate. The imposters refuse to let Sonic and Tails leave until they beat them in an Olympic Event. Fearing that the fog may cancel the opening ceremony, Sonic and Tails accept the challenge.

Sonic and Tails defeat the imposters, still believing that they are the real Mario and Luigi, but do not think that they seem their usual selves. The imposters disappear, causing them to come to the conclusion that they are imposters. They overhear the Boo talking about how to the fog was taking the form of athletes as planned, and decide to follow it to the Tower of London to ask it some questions.
