Collin was shocked to say the least at hearing the news that the once docile Princess Peach had gone off the deep end and become the evil tyrant known as Empress Toadstool. Of course, in typical video game fashion, he was given very little information about where he should go from here. He grabbed the “?” ball and he suddenly heard a loud crash from outside. He went back out of the castle to see what the racket was and saw that a warp pipe had emerged from the ground right outside the castle. He was just about to see where the pipe would take him, when he saw a bright flash fallowed by a blue blur speeding right at him. He stared in awe for a split second before he blasted by the blur. He fell backward loosing the power of the super leaf he had obtained. He tried to regain he bearings as he looked up and saw none other than Sonic the Hedgehog reaching down to help him up.
"Ow! Oh my dearest apologies I’m Dr. S. some call me Sonic. And you are?"
He grabbed Sonic’s hand and got to his feet. “Thanks, my name’s Collin. Wow! You’re Sonic the Hedgehog. You’re famous in my world. What are you doing in the Mushroom world?”
