Awesome / Sonic Mania Adventures

• Episode 5 has Sonic, Tails, Mighty and Ray face off against an Emerald-powered Metal Sonic, and battle it to a standstill to an awesome remix of Sonic 3's Final Boss. Then Tails uses the device Eggman dropped and knowledge of the terrain to trap and de-power Metal Sonic and have Sonic spindash it into a wall. All to an amazing remix of Sonic's theme.
  • Then Eggman reveals the Master Emerald, and Metal's about to power up again before Knuckles appears out of nowhere and punches both Eggman and Metal Sonic clean out of their base! And then nonchalantly walks away with the Emerald.
  • Props to Eggman too. Despite his losses in Episode 1 and 2, he manages to obtain 4 of the Emeralds before Sonic returned, then had Metal Sonic take the rest in order to power it up. He even had a backup plan with the Master Emerald, and might have won had Sonic's friends not shown up.
• After being absent from the series for several years and not appearing in games where other classic versions of the characters appear, Classic Amy finally returns in Episode 6.
• Villainous example from episode 4: Mighty initially has the edge over Metal Sonic, but the later turns it around with judicious use of super speed: distracting Mighty by warping in front of him, punching Ray across the clearing, catching him in a Neck Lift before he lands, and then using him in a Hostage for MacGuffin situation, all in about 5 seconds! Comedy series or no, you have to give Metal props for that.
