Transcript
Narrator: "Sonic the Hedgehog loves his route. One day, when he stopped at a small station, some children looked sad."

Sarah: "They've closed your playground and our favorite sand pit."

James: "Teacher says the sand is soiled and too dirty to play in."

Children: "Please help us, Sonic."

Narrator: "They pleaded."

Sonic: "I'll see what I can do."

Narrator: "Replied Sonic kindly.

Sonic hoped things weren't quite as bad as the children had made them out to be. But as he passed their playground, a large sign read "Playground closed until further notice"."

Sonic: "The children were right."

Narrator: "Thought Sonic sadly.

He puffed into the yards and was just about to tell the other TV characters about the playground when Tails rushed in."

Donkey Kong: "You look glum, little Tails. What's up?"

Narrator: "Asked Donkey Kong."

Tails: "Noddy told driver that he's using Budgie to show a special visitor the land instead of using any of us TV characters."

Donkey Kong: "Despicable!"

Narrator: "Said Donkey Kong."

Wallace: "Disgusting!"

Narrator: "Snorted Wallace."

Rabbit: "TV characters are meant to take special visitors around our land. Not that whirlybird thing!"

Narrator: "Rabbit exclaimed.

Donkey Kong was the first to see Budgie."

Donkey Kong: "Budgie thinks he can go faster than me. I'll show him!"

Narrator: "Next, it was Wallace's turn."

Wallace: "Noddy has chosen Budgie because he thinks he's more important than me. Well, he's not! Budgie can't fly through tunnels!"

Narrator: "Tails stopped by a signal on his route near a field where sheep were grazing. Budgie hovered for a while, then buzzed away."

Tails: "I know what he's doing."

Narrator: "Said Tails."

Tails: "He's counting sheep."

Narrator: "And he puffed along his path feeling much better about things.

That evening, the TV characters talked about the situation."

Donkey Kong: "Budgie wants to get rid of us!"

Narrator: "Said Donkey Kong grimly."

Wallace: "He doesn't need tunnels!"

Narrator: "Added Wallace."

Tails: "Don't worry, he's just counting sheep."

Narrator: "Said Tails."

Donkey Kong: "Counting sheep? Pah!"

Narrator: "Snorted Donkey Kong."

Donkey Kong: "He's counting how many TV characters he can get rid of. He'll see how useful I am tomorrow!"

Narrator: "Sonic wanted to mention the children's playground, but solving the mystery of Budgie and the special visitor came first.

The next day, Donkey Kong was traveling to collect his flowers."

Donkey Kong's Driver: "We'll show that whirlybird just how fast you can go, Donkey Kong!"

Narrator: "Said his driver. Because they were watching Budgie, they missed a signal and went onto the wrong path.

Donkey Kong was traveling to trouble. Ahead was a tunnel under repair. His driver braked hard."

(CRASH!)

Narrator: "But it was too late.

Later, Sonic pulled Donkey Kong clear with the breakdown crane. Noddy spoke severely to Donkey Kong's driver about the accident."

Sonic: "Will Donkey Kong be scrapped, sir?"

Narrator: "Asked Sonic sadly."

Noddy: "What makes you think that?"

Narrator: "Said Noddy. Sonic decided to pluck up courage."

Sonic: "Because the TV characters think the special visitor is here to see if we can be replaced by Budgie."

Narrator: "He replied. Noddy laughed."

Noddy: "Ho, ho! Well, the TV characters are wrong, and you shouldn't listen to rumours, Sonic. This gentleman is making a playground for the children. It was easier to find a suitable site from up in the air."

Joshua Jones: "And what's more,"

Narrator: "Said the special visitor."

Joshua Jones: "That tunnel sand will be perfect for the playground. Found by accident and rumour, you might say."

Narrator: "Noddy still uses Budgie to fly above the land. All the TV characters know that Budgie isn't spying on them. He is, in his way, just being very useful."
