History Recap / SonicBoomS2E9MultiTails

It's another day in the Village Center, and Tails has got another brand-new invention ready to show off to the rest of Team Sonic. They hope for it to be ice cream, but it turns out to be something else, much to their dismay. Just then, Eggman and his Bee Bots arrive, giving the fox the perfect opportunity to get to work. Activating the invention, which he calls the Village Fortifying Electromagnetic Protective Hemisphere, which his friends are unimpressed about until he renames it the Dome-pocalypse, a force field around the village is created around the village. Eggman tries to take it down but the remainder of his Bee Bots are destroyed in the process. He then commands Obliterator Bot to the job, but it only ends up knocking Eggman away and destroying itself.

The villagers praise Tails for his invention, and the fox is presented with the "Trophy of Valor" from Mayor Fink. He proudly claims that the village is now safe from all aerial attacks with his "fool-proof" Dome-pocalypse – that is, until Eggman emerges from underground in a drill-equipped Egg Tank with his Scorpion Bots. Team Sonic deals with the robots, but Eggman is able to fire shots at the Dome-pocalypse, causing them to bounce off the inside of the force field and damage much of the village. Sonic tells Tails to turn off the barrier, but the fox cannot reach it due to the Scorpion Bots nearby. He therefore tells Knuckles to do it, but not knowing how to turn it off, Knuckles grabs the device and tries to push its force-field against Eggman's Egg Tank, causing even more damage. Sonic, however, is able to destroy the Egg Tank, causing the doctor to retreat on foot. Shortly after, a public gathering is held where Mayor Fink decides to revoke the Trophy of Valor from Tails as a result of the Dome-pocalypse's flaws while the crowd boos negatively at Tails. Sonic steps in to defend Tails, stating that no one can expect Tails to think of every possible outcome himself, though Tails still accepts the blame. Mayor Fink then decides to re-reward the same trophy to Tails, but re-labels it the "Trophy of Shame", much to the fox's anger.

Back at his workshop, Tails ponders about Sonic's statement earlier and comes up with the idea of splitting himself into five geniuses to form a "brain trust". He steps into a cloning machine and out comes five identical clones of Tails. However, each of them behaves very differently compared to the original Tails in front of his friends namely showing a considerable lack of intelligence: the first clone visits Sonic at his shack to show him a simple invention. Thinking Tails might not be feeling well, Sonic visits Meh Burger to get him some food, only to find another clone there, already eating a burger. He then returns to see the clone resting in his hammock in a strange manner. Another clone is over at Amy's house and tries helping Amy hang up a picture on a wall, only for him to smash a hole in the wall. At Sticks' burrow, another clone annoys Sticks by constantly responding "Why?" until she pounces him in anger. Additionally, Knuckles and a clone compete to squirt cream cans into their mouth although the clone remains idle, only following instructions via "Simon Says".

Eventually, each of Tails' friends and their respective clone meet up at his house and come to the realization that there are more than one Tails. Sonic deduces that Tails decided to use his cloning machine to split himself, while Sticks notes that each of the clones "have only one-fifth of [Tails'] brain power", explaining their questionable behavior. Tails' friends lead the clones into the cloning machine to fuse them back together, only for Sonic to split Tails even further. Each clone goes crazy in the village while Tails' friends struggle to gather them up. As all seems lost, Knuckles is able to keep the clones in order and along with Sonic, Sticks and Amy, they rally the clones back to Tails' workshop. However, one clone ends up travelling all the way to Eggman's lair and interrupts him in the middle of a shower. While surprised at first, Eggman uses the clone's stupidity to his advantage as a potential ally and asks him to fetch him a towel. The Tails clone, however, eventually returns with pudding, and then a hand towel, so Eggman is forced to cover himself with the shower curtain. Upon leaving the bathroom, Eggman is shocked to find more clones making a mess in his lounge with his pudding.

At the workshop, Sonic discovers there are some clones missing, only for Eggman to appear in the workshop with some of them. Ultimately, Eggman and the gang decide to work together (leaving Knuckles to look after the clones) to round up the remaining clones in the doctor's base and bring them back to the workshop. Eggman turns to leave, but Sonic gets the doctor to stay and configure the cloning machine into fusing the Tails clones back together, as currently only Eggman is smart enough to figure out how to work the machine (which the doctor handles easily). Moments later, the clones are gathered together inside the machine and are successfully merged back into the original Tails. Emerging, Tails admits his idea was not smart and what he really needed was his friends. The doctor refutes with his involvement and then tells Tails how mad he is at him for forcing him to go on a pudding run, to which Tails asks why, prompting him to get tackled by Sticks.

The clones immediately respond to him, and they and Knuckles are shown marching across the village, while Sonic, Amy and Sticks look on in confusion. We don't know where this parade led, but [[DumbassHasAPoint let's just say what Knuckles really meant was getting back to the workshop]].

* TeenyWeenie: Discussed; Eggman is surprised by one of the Tails clones appearing in his bathroom while he's in the shower, and since the clone wants to be friends with him, decides to use him for evil purposes, [[YouGetMeCoffee starting with fetching him a towel]].

* CloningSplitsAttributes: This episode sees Tails, upset over a failure in battle, decide to clone himself and form a brain trust to create superior inventions. Unfortunately, a flaw in the machine used causes the ten duplicates to each receive only a tenth of Tails' original intellect, leading such bright ideas as seeing what a wall tastes like, attempting to fly while spinning his legs, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking enjoying a Meh Burger]]. Tails' friends naturally try to help, while keeping his clones from hurting themselves, but accidentally end up with one hundred doppelgangers. Fortunately, Eggman decides to intervene so he doesn't start waking up to a lair full of nitwit foxes destroying everything.
