"So this is the infamous part of Chemical Plant Zone that gave you two so much trouble?" Knuckles asked Sonic and Tails, who simply nodded in response. "Relax, you two.

"We'll have to ask him about it once this Zone's over," Sonic answered. The three celebrated getting across the gap... only for the floor tiles to flip and send the three back into the Mega Mack.
