* Near the end of "Eggman: The Video Game Part 1", Team Sonic takes on Shadow, who wants revenge on them because of a poorly-edited video of Sonic that Eggman showed him (and also edited and recorded). How does this experienced group of heroes take him down? [[spoiler:They don't. Shadow, in what is perhaps one of the most brutal beatings Team Sonic has suffered over the course of the entire series, [[CurbStompBattle hands Sonic's friends their butts on a silver platter and, as soon as Sonic himself arrives, shoulder-charges him into a wall]], standing over him triumphant as the episode ends on a cliffhanger. Shadow, as always, is a force to be reckoned with]].

** [[spoiler:Metal Sonic]] returns, and he's just as dangerous as ever, [[spoiler:thanks to the data of Team Sonic and Shadow Eggman uploaded into him]]. Sonic and Shadow can barely stop him, and when he crosses over into the main dimension with them in tow, it takes 4/5ths of Team Sonic (minus a knocked-down Amy) to take him down, with the guys holding onto his limbs with their Enerbeams, allowing Sticks to deliver the coup de grace by jamming her bo staff [[spoiler:directly into his chest cavity]].

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTd3Bry-ZT4 Season 2 Episode 38]], Knuckles manages to give [[DumbassHasAPoint a surprisingly insightful speech on how to do feminism correctly]]. Several viewers have pointed out that not only would this viewpoint be a healthier one for the feminist movement in general but that it would be healthier for ''any'' group feeling maligned and/or mistreated.

* In "Vector Detector", Vector the Crocodile makes a surprise appearance as the star of a detective reality show in an effort to find Amy's stolen hammer. It sounds like he's going to be comic relief, but [[BunnyEarsLawyer aside from getting a bit snide he plays it completely straight with some really solid reasoning]] thanks to Sonic's help, even noticing when the evidence isn't adding up the way it should and seeking Sonic out by himself to make his continued work on the case more difficult to track.

* Near the end of "Return of the Buddy Buddy Temple of Doom", Eggman succeeds in his goal of getting a power source for the mech suit he built in the same episode. So what's Sonic to do? Well, he calls in his Ancient mech suit, [[TheBusCameBack returning from "Mech Suits Me"]], and the two duke it out in a fight sequence that's as awesome as one would expect a mech fight to be and a definite change-up from ''Boom'''s usual brand of climactic battle. The [[AutobotsRockOut badass heavy metal background track]] is the cherry on top.

* The [[MiniMecha mech]] fight at the end of "The Return of the Buddy Buddy Temple of Doom", marking the [[TheBusCameBack return of the Ancient mech suit from "Mech Suits Me"]]. All complete with a [[AutobotsRockOut badass heavy metal background track]].

* Sticks manages to save the day ''again'' in the climax of "In the Midnight Hour". After being thrown in jail while attempting to explain to everyone that the mysterious Dreamcaster is attempting to use mind control on them through their [=TVs=] while they sleep during the night, she finds out he's a robot created by Eggman to do just that, explaining everyone's strange behavior. Being the only one not hypnotized because she purposefully doesn't have a TV, Sticks manages to break out[[SpannerInTheWorks with the help of a mind-controlled Knuckles]] and barely resists the subsequent mind-control attempt by Dreamcaster long enough to return to her burrow and pack five [[TinfoilHat tinfoil hats]], the one thing that can block mind control indefinitely. Upon returning to the scene, she puts one on herself and gives the others to the rest of Team Sonic, allowing them to take care of Eggman's robots while she deals with Dreamcaster; she squirts paint in his eyes and then uses her patented "jujitsurrealism" (i.e. martial arts) to take him offline for good, freeing the rest of the villagers from the mind control and forcing Eggman to retreat. Again, not bad for a nutcase.

* The mech fight at the end of "The Return of the Buddy Buddy Temple of Doom", complete with a [[AutobotsRockOut badass heavy metal background track]].

* In "It Wasn't Me, It Was the One-Armed Hedgehog", after being accused by Eggman of stealing his particle accelerator, Sonic must clear his good name by finding the real thief. Joined by Knuckles, he tracks down the culprit to a house in the jungle and is confronted by none other than [[spoiler: Metal Sonic. Knuckles attempts to take the robotic double down with a barrage of punches, but Metal [[NoSell stands his ground without even flinching]] and proceeds to unload a point-blank energy blast from the [[ChestBlaster hole in his chest]] to knock the echidna into a nearby tree, [[OneShot rendering him unconscious]]. That's right-- Metal managed to withstand the blows of and [[TheWorfEffect knock out]] ''[[TheBigGuy the strongest member of the team]]'' [[CurbStompBattle with barely any effort!]]]]

* Knuckles once again gets a chance to shine in the climax of "Spacemageddonocalypse". The echidna rockets into space to attempt to knock the asteroid that's about to hit his home planet off its collision course using an invention of Tails'... which he accidentally breaks because he has no idea how to use it. [[TheDeterminator Undeterred]], however, Knuckles exits the rocket, jumps into the air (or lack thereof), and punches the asteroid hard enough to ''break it apart''. He then manages to narrowly escape by [[SkySurfing surfing back to the rocket]] [[ImplausibleBoardingSkills using one of Eggman's satellites]]. It bears repeating: Knuckles destroyed a massive asteroid. '''''WITH A SINGLE PUNCH'''''. Truly, his strength knows no bounds.

** "Dr. Eggman's Tomato Sauce". The heroes were suspicious of said sauce and so they tested it for everything they could. To their surprise it came up negative so they dismiss it. But then it turns out that Eggman ''knew'' they'd find the sauce suspicious...which is why he made the ''cans'' the sauce is marketed in the real danger, programming them to take over all technology on the island. If not for Sonic and co., he probably would have won this time (and indeed, it took them a while to foil the plan).

** In "Sole Power", Sonic seemingly develops a condition that causes a painfully loud noise to occur whenever he uses his super speed. As a result, he is unable to help his team during a robot attack. Much to his dismay, his friends easily destroy Eggman's robots without him. Eggman then arrives, claiming that Orbot and Cubot accidentally triggered the attack. Since the attack went just fine without his guidance, [[NotSoDifferent he claims that he feels unneeded as a result]]. When Sonic confides in Eggman and asks for his assistance, he then develops a set of shoes that seemingly cure Sonic of his condition. [[spoiler:Turns out, there was nothing wrong with Sonic. Eggman actually created a device that would play the deafening tone every time Sonic runs. The shoes he made for Sonic serve as a external power source and generator for Eggman's giant robot, converting his super speed into power for the robot's battery, force field, and weaponry. Additionally, Eggman knew that Sonic would celebrate his "cure" by using his speed more often, that Sonic [[HatesBeingAlone hates being left out of a fight between Eggman and his friends]], and that Sonic has a habit of [[LeeroyJenkins senselessly charging headfirst into danger]]. All of these facts gave the robot more than enough power to deal with all of our heroes at once. To top it off, ''Sonic can't remove the shoes''.]]
