* OffModel: Despite this episode being animated by Creator/TMSEntertainment, a higher-quality animation studio[[note]]though with some of the work outsourced to an uncredited Creator/NakamuraProductions, who while one of TMS's regular partners, is more wildly varied in animation quality[[/note]], even it isn't immune to animation errors. The pupils of Sonic, Scratch and Professor Caninestein are often overshadowed by the light reflecting into them, and Robotnik also looks less comedically obese than usual in a few scenes (which the animators poke fun at by having his stomach flop down to its original position after his TakeOverTheWorld declaration). The animation itself gets choppy during extremely wide shots.

The forty-seventh episode of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', and the first part of the "Quest for the Chaos Emeralds" saga.

Robotnik forces Professor Caninestein to build him a time machine so he can go back in time and steal four Chaos Emeralds of Invisibility, Invincibility, Immortality, and the Power of Life. Robotnik's first destination is Captain Blackbeard's pirate ship, where he turns Blackbeard into Blackbot to seek out the Emerald of Invisibility. Professor Caninestein invents a pair of Atomic Relativity Boots for Sonic so he can travel back in time and stop Robotnik's plans.

----
!! This episode provides examples of:
* BrainWithAManualControl: When Robotnik roboticizes a whale, he uses it to swallow Sonic and Tails. Sonic makes his way to the whale's robotic brain and reprograms it so the whale will take him and Tails to Shark Island.
* GottaCatchEmAll: Once Robotnik collects all four Chaos Emeralds, he will become the Supreme High Robotnik.
* ImpactSilhouette:
** Sonic and Tails leave holes shaped like their bodies in the sail of Blackbeard's ship when they travel back in time.

** After Sonic has Blackbot fall from the mast of his ship, Blackbot leaves a Blackbot-shaped hole in the ship deck's floor.

* {{Invisibility}}: The Chaos Emerald of Invisibility grants the power of invisibility to anyone who uses it. The Emerald itself is even invisible.
* NearVillainVictory: After exposing Sonic with sand, Robotnik snatches the Emerald of Invisibility from him and becomes invisible. He then pulls Sonic's Atomic Relativity Boots off and destroys them so Sonic can't follow him through time. Sonic comes up with a plan of his own; he writes a note, puts it in a treasure chest, and buries the chest so that in the future, when the chest is dug up, Professor Caninestein will read the note asking him to send him another pair of Atomic Relativity Boots.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Robotnik turns Blackbeard into Blackbot, making him a robot pirate. Prior to his roboticization, Blackbeard tells Scratch that he's a blackbeard and pulls out a pair of nunchucks, making him the pirate equivalent of a ninja.

* SeeTheInvisible: Sonic uses the Chaos Emerald of Invisibility to become invisible and attack Robotnik, Scratch, Grounder, and Blackbot. Robotnik tosses sand at Sonic to expose him.
* ShoutOut:

** Robotnik uses a cartoon version of Rod Taylor's Time Machine to search for the four Chaos Emeralds.
** At the end of the episode, Sonic tells Tails, "We're headin' Film/BackToTheFuture, Juice Factor Nine!"
* SuddenlyShouting: This exchange between Robotnik and Professor Caninestein at the beginning of the episode:
-->'''Prof. Caninestein''': I can't go through with zis! My theories of time und space were developed for peace, not for your evil schemes!\\
'''Robotnik:''' Oh, that's all right, Professor. You don't have to do anything you don't want to... '''''[[LargeHam AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MIND]] [[ThrownDownAWell BEING THROWN INTO A DUNGEON]] [[SnakePit FULL OF SNAKES]] [[ReducedToRatburgers AND EATING DEAD SPIDERS]] FOR THE [[TrrrillingRrrs RRRREST]] OF YOUR LIFE!!!'''''
* TemptingFate:
** After Tails tricks Scratch into destroying Grounder, Sonic says to Robotnik, "The least they could do is give me a challenge!". Blackbot then sneaks up behind Sonic and tries to attack him.
** When Robotnik, Blackbot, Scratch and Grounder reach Shark Island, Blackbot warns Scratch and Grounder to be careful of the booby traps on it. Grounder then says, "Booby Traps? Ha! Who does he think we are, boobs?", and he and Scratch get caught in a TreeBuchet and bounced around.
** After Sonic and Tails recover the treasure chest with the Chaos Emerald of Invisibility inside it, Sonic says, "We gotta get rid of this thing before Robuttnik gets his sinister fingers on it!". Cue Robotnik and Blackbot respectively capturing him and Tails.

* WalkThePlank: Blackbot makes Tails do this after he captures him.
* XMarksTheSpot: Shark Island, the location of the Chaos Emerald of Invisibility, is shaped like a giant X. On the island, Blackbot leads Robotnik, Scratch, and Grounder to the X that marks the location of the Chaos Emerald.
