Story[]

Stranded in the Scorchio Zone, penguin comedian Willie Waddle is an odd desert-dweller. Deciding that his bad jokes are what got him here in the first place, Waddle decides to quit his job. However, he fears the worst when a shadow comes towards him - until he realises it's just Tails! Waddle explains to the fox that his comedy routine used to be filled with jokes about Doctor Robotnik. One day, a walrus travel agent from "Mobius Airways" offered him a free holiday for all his hard work. Unfortunately, he turned out to be Robotnik in disguise and, during their flight, dropped the comedian into the sand. Tails reveals he has come to rescue him and get him back in time for tonight's act.

As the two take off, they are suddenly attacked by a submerged Sandworm. The blinding light from the Sun dazzles Tails and they are both hit by the Badnik's cannons. Tails bumps his head and is temporarily knocked out, making him a prime target for the Badnik. Waddle contemplates escaping whilst the Badnik is busy, but feels guilty and returns. He tells a bad joke, confusing the Sandworm. This gives Tails time to wake up and destroy the Badnik. Later, at the Comedy Club, Waddle is back doing his performance and is getting as many laughs as before. Tails isn't so impressed, jokingly wondering if he should have left him in the desert.
