* The ending of "Tails' New Home", where both Tails and Sonic come to accept that Sonic is Tails' family, after searching for his parents. Their dialogue... just read it yourself.
-->'''Sonic''': "Sorry for all the trouble, squirt. I was just trying to find you a real family."
-->'''Tails''': "I've got a real family. I've got the best!"
-->'''Sonic''': "Oh yeah, where?"
-->'''Tails''': "A family is just people who care about each other more than anyone else, right?"
-->'''Sonic''': *''gasps''* "Right..."
-->'''Tails''': "You're it! You're my mom, you're my dad and you're my picket fence!" *''attempts to hug Sonic''*
-->'''Sonic''': "Woah! You're not gonna use the "L" word, are you?!"
-->'''Tails''': *thoroughly embarassed* "Well..."
-->'''Sonic''': *''grabs Tails from behind and spins him over his head''* "Then I will, because it's a great word. '''I love you, little bro!''' Now I've got something even more important to say: "Noogie time"!"
-->'''Tails''': *''laughing''* "It's good to be home!"
* In "Sonic The Matchmaker", Robotnik Jr. tries to win Breezie's heart by acting as a hero like Sonic, but fails at every attempt. At one point, it's Breezie herself (after Tails told her about Jr.'s feelings) who saves Jr. from a waterfall, and she eventually realizes that she loves the feeling of being considered necessary in someone else's life. At the end of the episode, she proudly says to Sonic (her previous crush):
-->'''Breezie''': "I'm sorry it can't work out between us, Sonic, but Jr. NEEDS me too much, and I really LIKE that!"
** Which is immediately followed by another heartwarming moment, as Sonic responds "I know just what that means!" while putting an arm around Tails's shoulder. It might be considered a HoYay clue, but in actuality it shows how much having a little brother to protect, and receiving brotherly affection in exchange, makes Sonic happy and damned proud of it.
* Another brotherly moment with Sonic and Tails happens near the ending of "Full Tilt Tails".
-->'''Tails''': "Sonic, how come when I got what I always wanted more than anything else, everything went wrong?"
-->'''Sonic''': "Sometimes you're just not ready for what you want the most. But I'll bet that you'll grow up and you'll be ready. You maybe even be as fast as me!"
-->'''Tails''': "I guess, no hurry though?"
-->'''Sonic''': "But even if you're never as fast as me, you're the greatest kid. You're a great flyer, a great guy, and above all, [[FriendshipMoment the greatest friend I could ever hope for.]]"
-->'''Tails''': "Thanks, Sonic!"
* Sonic and Tails reunited in "Trail of the Missing Tails":
-->'''Sonic''': Glad you're okay, keed. I was worried you'd run off.
-->'''Tails''': I'd never do that, Sonic. You're my best friend.
-->'''Sonic''': And you're mine. Let's never forget it.
* Whenever Robotnik [[PetTheDog praises Scratch and Grounder]]. In one episode, they did a good enough job that he didn't get mad at them even once throughout the whole thing.
** Even more so for [[TheUnfavorite Coconuts]], even if similarly, a YankTheDogsChain usually follows. One example is in the beginning of "Super Robotnik" when Coconuts complains about Robotnik always giving him the shaft. Remember, Coconuts is the smartest badnik of the team, and he [[TheWoobie REALLY doesn't do anything to hinder the process of Robotnik's plans, yet he keeps getting demoted.]] Now look at his face when he gets promoted. PURE. HAPPINESS. Coconuts only wanted that promotion.
* Although it was bound to go south by the end of the episode, Robotnik's interaction with his robot son in "Robotnik, Jr." is quite wonderful to see. It's one of the most heartwarming moments in the show where Robotnik is truly happy.
* In a tongue in cheek sort of way, some of Sonic's FriendlyEnemy interactions with Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts in the "Sonic Sez" segments, particularly ones he tries to stop them [[TooDumbToLive dismantling each other in their stupidity]].
** Heck, in some of the segments, Sonic indirectly helps Robotnik by convincing Coconuts not to run away from home or to save up his money to buy something special and make him proud. Apparently, at least outside of the actual episodes, Robotnik really does care about his robots.
* "The Last Resort" has Robotnik and Mama Robotnik on unusually good terms with one another, as Robotnik goes into retirement to help care for her, and while she yells at him when his plan seems like it's failing, she encourages him to take care of Sonic and conquer the planet.
* Sonic saving Spelunk in "Subterranean Sonic"
* Breezy's HeelFaceTurn in "Lovesick Sonic"
* The few times where Robotnik shows that even [[CardCarryingVillain he]] has a heart is certain to warm a viewer's own.
** In ''"Mama Robotnik"'', there's Robotnik's genuine love and concern for his Fuzzy-Wuzzy--a [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four-armed]] [[MultipleHeadCase two-headed]] [[BearsAreBadNews giant killer robot grizzly]] to others, but a beloved childhood playmate and confidant to Robotnik. Even his ''mother'' had no idea how much Fuzzy-Wuzzy meant to Robotnik, who throws himself at Sonic's feet, weeping his heart out, and '''begs Sonic's mercy''' to save Fuzzy-Wuzzy from being electrocuted, even sincerely promising to give up villainy if Sonic will save him!
** Also from ''"Mama Robotnik"'', there's Robotnik's genuine distress when some men from the Mobius Home For Really Bizarre Mothers track her down and drag her away...[[MoodWhiplash until he visibly realizes that this is actually a good thing]], since she's been treating him like crap all episode.
** In ''"So Long Sucker"'', Robotnik reveals he once had a beloved pet cockroach named Mr. Bobo, which he does by pulling out a picture of his deceased companion and getting all teary about it. He even proclaims that [[EvenEvilHasStandards "there's nothing more sacred than the bond between a boy and his pet"]].
* Near the end of "Birth of a Salesman", after Wes Weasley re-merges Sonic's clones back into one and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere tries to sneak off (from Robotnik)]], Sonic stops him for a second to thank him.
* The titular Robot of "The Robots' Robot" was mostly created by Scratch and Grounder to do chores for them, although they spend much of the episode with seeming genuine concern for its well-being (after it runs away from home thanks to Robotnik intimidating him) and are heartbroken that Robot never returns to them, often sounding like concerned parents throughout the episode.
** Grounder also expresses his desire for a mother at several points, including in "Mama Robotnik", and can sometimes [[PetTheDog come off like a sad puppy dog just wanting love]]. This is usually offset by his happiness at serving Robotnik and thus terrorizing Mobius in the process.
* In the race in "High Stakes Sonic" Scratch is proud of his "little brother" Grounder when he almost beats Sonic in a race.
