Tails tells KO about how he learned to spin dash by visualizing Sonic at the finish line as motivation. This flashes back to Tails' first meeting with Sonic, where he was inspired to catch up to him. Tails explains how focusing solely on reaching Sonic helped him gain speed. KO then tries the technique, imagining reaching his friends as his finish line. He is able to successfully spin dash through an obstacle course, thanking Tails for the advice afterward.
