Sonic and Tails test a new invention to make the former go even faster, but he goes so fast that he eventually disappears. Did Tails disintegrate Sonic?
Tropes featured in this episode:
- Biting-the-Hand Humor: Tails comes up with a new invention to help achieve his goal of making Sonic go faster, which he says uses "blast processing technology"* to increase Sonic's speed.Sticks: "Blast processing technology"? Those are just some phony-baloney buzz words to fool the simple-minded.
Knuckles: Blast processing technology?! GIMME, GIMME, GIMME! - Epic Fail: The motif of this episode is Tails conducting several tests in an attempt to make Sonic go even faster, all of which end with the hedgehog crashing into something - painfully. Of particular note is an attempt involving rocket skates:Amy: (worried) Oh, no, Sonic! (annoyed) ...You scuffed my skates!
- Green-Eyed Epiphany: Near the beginning of the episode, Sonic goes looking for Tails. When he doesn't find Tails at his workshop, he wonders if the fox might be with Amy, and has this reaction to the thought:Sonic: Ah, I guess it's my own fault. You snooze, you lose.
- This is followed by Sonic running to Amy's house, calling out for Tails and Amy. When he sees they aren't there, he sighs with relief before catching himself.
- Iron Butt Monkey: Sonic ends up taking this role early on in the episode as a result of being the test subject for Tails' speed amplifier. But even when he's covered in bandages (more than usual) after all of his crashes and dryly jokes his ribs need to be healed, he's still willing to try more tests.
- Speed Echoes: Before the Ultrasonic Speed Amplifier is pushed to too far of a level, Sonic ends up reaching a speed where he's able to leave afterimages of himself.
- Voice of the Legion: As Sonic goes faster and faster thanks to Tails' Ultrasonic Speed Amplifier, he becomes more and more excited - so much so that he demands the fox to go further beyond in some of the most unimaginable screams of exhilaration ever heard from the Blue Blur.Sonic: We can always go faster! Tails, crank it!
Tails: I think we should do more tests before we push it...
Sonic: DO IT!
