Sonic and Tails are in the Metropolis Zone, admiring the repair work done on Johnny Lightfoot's statue (although Sonic jibes Tails that it took too long), when Tails recognises a build-up of energy behind them. To their shock, another version of Sonic, joined by Johnny himself, appears, seemingly sent to the wrong location by the Kintobor Computer. The present Sonic and Tails are taken aback to see Johnny alive and well, but the past Sonic starts quizzing his future self about his green eyes and the statue of Johnny. The rabbit is curious about it, but Tails simultaneously tries to keep him away from it whilst warning Sonic not to reveal any information about the past.
