Summary
Racing for the Stars
Off-Panel
A question is asked "If it's a race, why is Sonic in a car?" A hypothetical race is shown with Sonic on foot, completing the race within a hundredth of a second, answering the question with "Because…then it's fair!" as Sonic holds a sign saying "YOU'RE TOO SLOW!"
