Plot Summary
The plot picks up where Episode 7 left off. Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach once again, but this time she is held captive in Bowser's newly constructed, flying Omega Doomship. Mario and company hear word of the tragedy through a letter sent from Bowser. In the letter, Bowser states that he's holding Peach for ransom, and demands that Mario and his team bring him the Chaos Emeralds that they currently possess. Everyone agrees to help rescue Peach, except for Shadow, thinking that they would be wasting precious time they should be using finding more Chaos Emeralds before Mecha Sonic does. This starts an argument between Sonic and Shadow, ending up with with Shadow leaving the group to go his own separate way. Sonic decides to follow out the mission without Shadow, as he and the rest of the team go to E. Gadd's lab.

There, E.Gadd shows them the Mario Bros.' plane, the Sky Pop Mark II. With it, they fly to Bowser's Doomship to save Peach. However, Bowser eventually discovers Mario's group, and tells his soldiers to activate the ship's defense systems. After nearly getting vaporized by the ship's laser cannon, the group flies out of the cannon's range, above the ship. Things are not any better there either, as Mario and his group are assaulted by an onslaught of Bowser's minions. Mario and Sonic decide to take offensive measures, leaving Luigi and Yoshi to pilot the plane, as they jump off of it to go infiltrate the Doomship.

Mario and Sonic land on the bow of the ship, beating up any soldiers that get in their way. Eventually, Luigi and Yoshi join Mario and Sonic on their invasion of the Doomship. The two end up in a hangar, but unfortunately, they run into a fleet of Koopatrol soldiers. The fleet attacks them, but, Mario and Sonic save them.

Sonic and the group nearly finish off the the soldiers, but are interupted by Basilisx. He demands a one-on-one fight to the death with Mario, wanting revenge for killing his friend. He petrifies Luigi, Yoshi and Sonic, so they wouldn't interfere. Basilisx shows no mercy, as he brutally and single-handedly defeats Mario. Bowser and Peach, watching Mario and Basilisx from a monitor in his throne room, laughs with a wicked smile, while Peach looks in terror.
