In the Nintendo 3DS version, Jet appears as a rival in the Story Mode. He first appears riding past on his hover board, and is later caught by Yoshi, Sonic, Tails, Shadow and Silver, who ask him about the Phantasmal Fog, causing him to decide to try to find the Fog machine himself. After being defeated by Shadow in 3000m Steeplechase, Jet agrees to help the group, and finds the machine but fails to destroy it. After Bowser Jr. is defeated, Jet suggests that the group splits up to investigate some of the other fog around London, pointing Sonic and Tails towards the British Museum. Jet later appears when Mario, Luigi, Sonic and Tails face Bowser and Dr. Eggman to encourage the Heroes and challenge Sonic at the games, as well as appearing at the opening ceremony.
