Plot

Mario and Bowser are seen fighting in Peach's castle. Luckily, Mario manages to defeat him and launch him out of the castle. When Bowser returns to his castle, Bowser Jr. shows him the half of a weird star-shaped emerald that he found near the castle. Bowser tries to inspect the emerald and see if he can find any use out of it.

Meanwhile, in the Sonic universe. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy can be seen running in Green Hill. They stop and see Eggman and his minions holding the half of a star shaped emerald. Eggman uses the emerald as a battery to power up a machine. He pulls the lever of the machine and fires a beam in the sky. A thunder strikes on the ground an knocks everybody unconscious. Sonic can slowly see the world flashing before completely losing his consciousness.

Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser is still inspecting the emerald, when suddenly, a lightning bolt strikes the gem and causes a large explosion. knocking him and everyone in the castle unconscious.

At the castle, Mario is seen starring out of the balcony with Peach, Luigi and Toad. Mario then notices the thunderstrike and sees a massive wave of energy heading towards the castle. Mario and Company brace for impact, but the wave sends them flying and render them unconscious.

When Mario wakes up, he looks around him and sees that the mushroom kingdom has completely changed. He is now standing in the same grassy plains as usual, but it has a checkerboard pattern. He quickly sees his friends getting surrounded by some robots. Mario prepares to fight them, but a bunch of balls bash right though the robots and destroy them. The balls turn out to be Sonic and his friends, who explain to Mario what happened back at his world. The two groups agree to work together and they set of to desync the world and return them to normal.
