* AgonyOfTheFeet: When Sonic and Tails find the first bomb at the train station, Tails attempts to destroy the bomb with a sledgehammer, but Sonic tells him that the shock will set the bomb off.

Fortunately, Sonic is able to fix his shoe.



* GoToSleepEnding: This episode really pushes Sonic to his limits, as he has to disarm three bombs that are about to go off simultaneously in three different parts of Mobius. His Super Speed reaches a point where he runs on the water and only manages to be one-split second away from failing, but without an ounce of energy more to keep him awake, he goes to sleep one moment too soon, almost drowning in the process and being saved at the last second by Tails. His well-earned sleep is so heavy that he can't even hear Dr. Robotnik's shouting in the screen in front of him "I hate that hedgehog!", let alone mock him like other times.

The forty-second episode of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''.

Robotnik plants time bombs at an airport, a lighthouse, and a train station to cripple them all in order to fully gain control over Mobius, forcing Sonic to circumnavigate the planet to save the day.

----
!! This episode provides examples of:
* DarkerAndEdgier: The stakes are higher than ever before in the series. Robotnik has planted three separate time bombs all over Mobius to cripple the planet's most important land, sea, and air complexes and grind transportation to a halt. Even Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, usually [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain no threat to anyone whatsoever]], are more competent than usual.
* HeroicRROD: A big part of Robotnik's plan is having Sonic tire himself out trying to stop the S.S.S.S.S. Squad, thinking they were the problem when they were merely planting the bombs. Despite this, Sonic manages to pull out all the stops and disarm the bombs, and has to be fished out of the sea shortly afterwards by Tails.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain:
** Robotnik, usually bumbling and defeated handily by Sonic, manages to pull off a very deadly scheme by having his robots distract Sonic and wear him down while they plant the bombs. Already exhausted from doing so, Sonic just barely manages to disarm all three.
** Even Scratch and Grounder get in on the act, successfully [[OutGambitted Out-Gambitting]] Sonic and managing to escape after planting the bombs.
