Sonic is busy destroying another group of Badniks, with the Freedom Fighters and a crowd watching on. A large rhinoceros comes forward and congratulates the heroes for their work and states that he can provide them with a holiday. Tails is keen, but Sonic reminds him that they have no time for holidays with Doctor Robotnik around. The inventor, Rhino Neil, persists and leads them to the Paradise Dome, a simulator that produces an authentic beach experience. Amy Rose leads the other heroes inside, but Sonic isn't interested and speeds away. Rhino Neil is less than impressed, calling Sonic a "spikeball".
