Added DiffLines:

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Robotnik's Racebots - Scraper, Scorpion, Speedo and X-Moto - prove pretty effective at hampering Sonic and his friends in the race. X-Moto sabotages them before the race even starts, Scorpion does actual damage to their car and Scraper actually ''buries them alive'', coming the closest to putting the heroes out of commission for good.


Added DiffLines:

* SoreLoser: After Sonic trashes all four of the Racebots, Robotnik erects an impenetrable neutron wall right in front of the finish line. But as he stands gloating in front of it, the porcupine orphans sneak up behind and push the wall over, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard flattening Robotnik]] and allowing Sonic to cross the finish line and win the race.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: While trying to turn on the emergency generators in his fortress after Scorpion accidentally knocks the power out, Robotnik steps in some rat traps left behind by an exterminator. We don't see them go off since it's pitch black in the fortress, but Robotnik's yells of pain make it pretty clear what he just did to himself.



* DrivingUpAWall: One of the racers sprouts suction cups from his wheels and drives up one of the buildings in Casino Night Zone. Sonic and friends cheat the cheater with a convenient Special Stage post.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: As the race begins, Sonic, Tails, and Professor Caninestein are in last place thanks to X-Moto sabotaging their car. They need to replace the tires, since they are sabotaged with a rubber salt lick, but Professor Caninestein has misplaced his self-propelled tire jack. When he sees Scratch and Grounder, he mistakes them for the jack, and uses them to help change his car's tires.

The fifty-fifth episode of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''.

Robotnik lures Sonic into a round-the-planet vehicle race called the Mobius 5000 by threatening to foreclose on a loan to an orphanage.

----
!! This episode provides examples of:
* BeTheBall: Early in this episode, Sonic takes on the form of a pool cue ball when Tails plays a game of pool at Bruno's Billiards and Chili Dogs. When Bruno accuses Sonic of cheating, Sonic assures him that he knocked all the balls in fair and square.
* TheBigRace: Sonic enters the titular race to win a 10,000 Mobium grand prize and save the porcupine orphanage. Robotnik enters his own line of Race Bots to stop Sonic.
* BlandNameProduct: This episode features a gas station that has "86" gasoline (a reference to 76 gasoline).[[note]]This ultimately leads to an "86 on the chicken" joke.[[/note]]
* {{Bowdlerize}}: The Creator/ToonDisney broadcast of this episode cuts out a scene where Scratch is unknowlingly standing next to a time bomb that he intended to sabotage Professor Caninestein's car with (having accidentally put Grounder inside it instead).
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: When Scorpion attempts to zap Sonic, Tails, and Professor Caninestein, he gets his tail caught in a power line, cutting the power to Robotnik's fortress as a result. Inside Robotnik's fortress, all that can be seen of Robotnik are his eyes.
* TheCameo: Wallace A. Ditso from "[[Recap/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehogS01E32SonicGetsThrashed Sonic Gets Thrashed]]" appears in this episode, as does Roxy the Waitress from "Untouchable Sonic".
* DisneyVillainDeath: Sonic tricks Scraper into driving off a cliff with a fake "Shortcut to Finish Line" sign.
* GloryHound: Scratch and Grounder set Sonic, Tails, and Professor Caninestein free after Scraper traps them in an avalanche so that they can capture them later and Robotnik will give them the credit.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: When Sonic races side-by-side with Speedo, he splits the latter in half down the middle.
* MythologyGag: This episode features several references to the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'' video game. Sonic and Tails are sent on a race that takes them through [[EternalEngine Chemical Plant Zone]] (complete with Mega Mack), [[CasinoPark Casino Night Zone]], and a fairly accurate representation of the Special Stage.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: As the race begins, Sonic, Tails, and Professor Caninestein are in last place thanks to X-Moto sabotaging their car. They need to replace the tires, since they are sabotaged with a rubber salt lick, but Professor Caninestein has misplaced his self-propelled tire jack. When he sees Scratch and Grounder, he mistakes them for the jack, and uses them to help change his car's tires.
* OddNameOut: Robotnik's Race Bots are named Scraper, Scorpion, Speedo, and X-Moto.
* PragmaticVillainy: At Mobius' Polar Region, Scraper manages to trap Sonic, Tails, and Professor Caninestein in an avalanche. Scratch and Grounder set them free upon hearing that Robotnik is going to give the Race Bots a big reward for capturing Sonic, and worry that Robotnik will make them the new Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad while they get turned into soup cans.
* SavingTheOrphanage: Dr. Robotnik threatens to close down the porcupine orphanage if they don't pay him 10,000 Mobiums by the next day. In order to get that kind of money, Sonic has to enter and win the Mobius 5000 race.
* SelectiveMagnetism: When Sonic, Tails, and Professor Caninestein are behind Scorpion, the latter tries to sabotage their car by dropping thumbtacks onto the road. Sonic uses a magnet to attract the thumbtack and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard launch them right back at Scorpion]].
* SquashedFlat:
** Wallace gets flattened by Scraper before the race even begins.
** After Sonic defeats all four of the Race-Bots, Robotnik places a brick wall in front of the finish line as a last resort. The children of the porcupine orphanage push the wall over and flatten Robotnik with it.
* StickySituation: Before the race begins, X-Moto tries to sabotage Professor Caninestein's car by spraying a rubber salt lick on the tires.
* VisualPun: When the titular race is about to begin, Professor Caninestein's car drinks from a barrel of gas. When Sonic sees this, he says, "Boy, she really is a gas guzzler!"
