Dr. Robotnik and Snively rush across the internet in order to hop on a downloadable file and head back to the real world.

In the real world, Snively is revived in a new, handsome robotic body. He realizes that his uncle didn't make it back with him and mourns his apparent loss for a moment before deciding to get a new paint job. Dr. Robotnik arrives in the real world and destroys Snively's new body. When Snively returns in his original robotic body, he asks why he's not allowed to get a fancy new look. Robotnik simply smacks him and tells him no one cares

A Mobian rabbit treks through the Forbidden Zone in search of a friend. He arrives at a factory and is greeted by the Fearsome Foursome, Sleuth "Doggy" Dawg, and Drago Wolf.
