7	[[folder:Episode 1 - "Fuzz Fight!! Sonic 3 & No One" (clickbait title "Sonic Commits a Moving Violation")]]
8
9	*** The episode title itself is a parody of Japanese Sonic X episode title "Fierce Fight! Sonic Baseball Team" with the double exclamation points of other titles like "Clash!! Sonic vs Knuckles", and of course VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles.
10	*** Big dies from his fishing meter going into the red, as in VideoGame/SonicAdventure.
11	*** Tails loudly announces that he is the [[VideoGame/TailsSkyPatrol Sky Patrol]].
12	*** Sonic makes the lightspeed dash noises from Adventure when he goes into pinball mode.
13	*** Sonic takes a shot at VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogSpinball.
14	*** Knuckles makes the same vocalizations when punching the rock as he does in VideoGame/SonicHeroes
15	*** Eggman's base lock-down is accompanied by the announcer from VideoGame/SonicAdventure2's level Iron Gate.
16	*** Simply holding a chaos emerald in view of the camera makes it emit the chaos emerald acquisition jingle from VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2.
17	*** Sonic quotes Sonic Adventure's famous "Hey, look. A giant talking egg!", though Eggman shoots back with "Hey, look. A coked-up speed demon!"
18	*** Decoe and Bocoe have become Jessie and James from Anime/{{Pokemon}}, and do a parody of the Team Rocket Motto.
19	*** Knuckles is giving elocution lessons to Marine of VideoGame/SonicRush, for her over-the-top Australian accent.
20	*** Chaos Control and the empty void Sonic finds himself afterward in are accompanied by music from the infamous MindScrew ending of Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey.
21	*** Sonic quotes Adventure again with "Hey hey hey!" and "See ya later, Tails", literally using the original audio clips of voice actor Ryan Drummond. Sonic later emits a Drummond "Woah!", too.
22	*** The Police Chief announces over the radio that Sonic is "runnin' down the part of Speed Highway that cars can actually drive on!" Speedy Highway is a stage from Adventure featuring ridiculous roads even going into loop-de-loops.
23	*** Sonic sings ''[[Music/GoldenEarring Radar Love]]''. Poorly.
24	*** "Hey, checkered grass!" Sonic notices, remembering [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 Green Hill Zone]].
25	*** After meeting Sonic Chris references Anime/SonicX, a show that cannot logically exist in this universe.
26	*** Over the credits, Sonic watches an infamously awful-looking [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7Q0_DgXHG0 Pakistani commercial for a Sonic Heroes Happy Meal]].
27	*** The fake Episode 2 title "It's a Dead Dead Dead Dead Cosmo" is a reference to the film ''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld''.
28	[[/folder]]
29
30	[[folder:Episode 2 - "Find the Lost Cream" (clickbait title "SONIC THE WAR CRIMINAL")]]
31
32	*** The title is a reference to the "Find the Lost Chao" missions from VideoGame/SonicAdventure2.
33	*** Sonic can't believe Chris just spent forty-five minutes telling the suicide hotline about his VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker levels.
34	*** Picking up and eating a piece of catfood causes Sonic to emit the sounds of a chao from Sonic Adventure 2 grabbing and preparing to eat a fruit.
35	*** An interviewed man mistakes Sonic for the Music/BlueManGroup.
36	*** As Sonic goes off to save Cream, he announces "I'm REAAADYYYYY!" and runs off going "I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!" a la WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants.
37	*** As Sonic dodges cameras, we get music and the trademark SplitScreen visuals of Series/TwentyFour.
38	*** Creator/KenPenders is a scientist at the base, and when the retinal scanner says "Welcome, Dr. Penders" he accuses it of trying to steal his name. See GeniusBonus on the main page.
39	*** Upon hearing Sonic and Fraiche after Cream is broken out, the scientists all turn around and, mouths all open, emit the scream from Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978.
40	*** Chris asks Sonic "Do you remember [[VideoGame/SonicShuffle the Shuffle]]? Big scramble on the board! Better than UNO!"
41	*** Cream asks "Uh, Sonic? Which button boosts?" is a reference to the Modern Sonic gameplay. Sonic responds "Oh, no, you're not bastardizing yourself too!"
42	*** Tails refers to Sonic as a "16-bitch pinball" with "bastard processing", a reference to the "Blast Processing" Sega Genesis adverts.
43	[[/folder]]
44
45	[[folder:Episode 3 - "Occupy Branson" (clickbait title "TAILS DOESN'T SAVE AMERICA")]]
46	*** The title itself is a reference to the various Occupy movements of the past few years, though Robotnik is a literal occupying force.
47	*** Robotnik's slot machine features the BAR graphic from Casino Night Zone of VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2.
48	*** Both scenes of Amy and Knuckles in the sewer feature sewer-related music, with Dilapidated Way from VideoGame/SonicAdventure and Toxic Caves from [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogSpinball Sonic Spinball]].
49	*** The infamous Burn-Bot routine from the pilot episode of ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' is referenced and then quickly subverted. WordOfGod is that this was a TakeThat at the routine's excessive length with no real punchline.
50	*** Cream quite fittingly calls Tails "{{Literature/Biggles}}". [[CulturalCrossReference One for the UK fans.]]
51	*** A police officer requests Eggman's autograph because he "practically made Sonic in Sydney", an obscure Australian Sonic musical. It has to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq4g6-uKVQM heard to be believed]].
52	*** Tails yells [[VideoGame/TailsSkyPatrol "SKAH PATROL!"]] as he dive-bombs Eggman. Given Sky Patrol is one of his only two solo games, we can probably expect him to keep bringing it up.
53	*** Tails refers to the Tornado 2's transformed mode as "No Landing Gear Mode", in reference to the famous scene from VideoGame/SonicAdventure.
54	*** "It's my turn now!" announces Amy, just as she does when you select her in VideoGame/SonicAdventure2.
55	*** [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk "Amy SMASH!"]]
56	*** Sonic sings some David Bowie for us as he saves the day.
57	*** Eggman insists that Sonic is "worse than people who say '[=LEGOs=]'!"
58	*** Sonic was immune to missiles because he popped an invincibility monitor. Why was there no visual indication of this? Because he ate the stars, which he then belches up.
59	*** In another game mechanic joke, Knuckles had a bubble shield before the episode started but it got popped by a sewer crocodile. Thus, he's way more afraid of bullets now.
60	[[/folder]]
61
62	[[folder:Episode 4 - "Grand Theft OH NO"]]
63
64	*** The title itself is a pun on [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto Grand Theft Auto.]]
65	*** Chris' room is filled with old video game consoles, including multiple Platform/{{Atari Jaguar}}s. Scotty refers to them as "garbage."
66	*** Chris wants to eat at "Diary Queen."
67	*** Knuckles [[spoiler: (actually Tails)]] refers to the Ozark Shindig Festival.
68	*** Sonic spots an Applebee's from atop a tall tree, and goes off on a tangent about how they used to be called Apple Beatrice's.
69	*** Sonic mimics the opening notes of the Japanese Sonic X theme, Sonic Drive.
70	*** Eggman tells his robot to "invert controls! Backdoor code: The Beast!" in a reference to [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Evangelion 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance.]]
71	*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQBQIXCH3WE The original scoring]] in the last few minutes of the episode includes melody from "Believe in Myself" (VideoGame/SonicAdventure), Windy Valley (Adventure again), and the ending theme of VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2.
72	*** Tails gets quickstep bonuses during his fight against the robot, a feature of the Boost-era games.
73	*** As he's defeated, Eggman yells his [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog AoStH]] catchphrase "I hate that hedgehooooooooog!" before quickly adding: [[spoiler: "And that fox in the echidna's body!"]]
74	*** Tails tries to impress the others by bragging that he once donated to PBS, but he can't prove it because he threw away the tote bag.

76
77	[[folder:Episode 5 - "Way Past School" (clickbait title "SONIC'S EVIL TEACHER")]]
78
79	** We have an actual CutawayGag to [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Neon Genesis Evangelion]], where Rei has been horribly injured by Tails pushing her down the stairs.
80	** Sonic social media coordinator Aaron Webber is Chris' dad.
81	** Big the Cat, having died in Episode 1, returns as some sort of godlike being made more powerful by each mention of his name.
82	** Chris' mom is Violet Johansson, [[Creator/ScarlettJohansson Scarlet's]] mediocre sister known mainly for doing a line of Dramamine commercials featuring lyrics from Tommy Roe's "I'm So Dizzy."
83	** Eggman's trading cards are from the Sonic X Trading Card game.
84	** The Robo Teacher himself is an impression of David Hyde-Pierce, Niles Crane of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Frasier Frasier]] fame.
85	** The cop has a Dave's Double with extra cheese, having clearly gone to Wendy's.
86	** Bokkun suggests using the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/AClockworkOrange Ludivico technique]] to indoctrinate the students.
87	** Danny is apparently a member of [[Music/TheJacksonFive The Jackson Five,]] only contributing further to the [[AmbiguousTimePeriod ambiguity of when the series takes place.]]
88	** Chris decides to become an objectivist after reading [[Creator/AynRand Ayn Rand's]] tome ''[[Literature/AtlasShrugged Atlas Shrugged]]''. Eggman considers this to have "broken his brain."
89	** Another fast food reference, where Sonic complains about having been banned from Denny's for selling his own knock-off Denny's meals outside the restaurant. Boy, Xonic really loves its fast food jokes.
90	** Eggman offers Sonic a sticker featuring a bikini-clad Robotnik from [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog AoStH.]]
91	** Sonic refers to Station Square, implying it is a part of Branson.
92	** Aaron Webber announces "And now the stars of 4Kids TV will sing the national anthem," referencing an infamous promo aired on the Fox Box many years ago. A moment later he speaks of [[VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing Team Sonic Racing]], although he misidentifies it as Sonic Team Racing. Whether or not this was deliberate is open for debate.
93	[[/folder]]
94
95	[[folder:Episode 6 - "Strato Wars: The Rise of Sky Patrol" (clickbait title "SONIC THE BAD FATHER")]]
96
97	** The title itself is a reference to [[Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker]], which was soon to be released at the time of the episode.
98
99	** The episode opens with the gang watching an Oxyclean infomercial presented by Creator/BillyMays. In live action.
100
101	** Chris saying he's a "technical whizzzzzzzz" is a self-reference to Tails making a similar claim in the second episode.
102
103	** Not the first Series/RedDwarf reference comes when Sonic enters and quotes Holly with "What's going down in Groove Town?"
104
105	** Chris says "The Fox was seen on TV!" in reference to the As Seen on TV chain of stores, in a hopelessly obtuse attempt to explain Tails was thrown into the television.
106
107	** The central conceit of the episode revolves around Sonic being desperate to catch the {{Series/Cops}} marathon on Spike TV after Eggman blocks all television signals in Branson.
108
109	** In the flashback, Sonic is at KFC while Tails attempts to chopshop the Tornado.
110
111	** While working on the plane, Tails sings September by Music/EarthWindAndFire, the first of a few attempts to contribute to the ambiguity of when this flashback is meant to take place.
112
113	** In an attempt to be relevant Sonic quotes the famous 1980s "Where's the beef?" Arby's advert, which he says is "probably relevant in whatever the hell year this is."
114
115	** Sonic complains about Ross Dress for Less denying his coupon. He plans to either leave the island or steal all their hangers.
116
117	** Sonic continues his Arby's streak by saying they need to hurry to get to Christmas island before it closes. He's not missing those curly fries again.
118
119	** Eggman says to "Lend me your ears and listen to me very carefully," a direct quote of his from [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Sonic Adventure 2]].
120
121	** Eggman has renamed Branson to Scrap Branson Zone, a play on Scrap Brain Zone from [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 Sonic 1]].
122
123	** Sonic apparently speaks fluent Wingdings.
124
125	** Another [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 SA2]] quote from Eggman with "Playtime is oveerrr! Disappear!", something said by Shadow when using Chaos Spear in the two-player races.
126
127	** Sonic yells that Tails dies all the time, a reference to any Sonic game where he follows Sonic in one player mode and comes back any time he dies.
128
129	** Tails apparently went to a Sonic 2 special stage to get the chaos emerald. "Like I even remember half the shit I do. Something something stupid half-pipe, solve for X."
130
131	** Sonic's {{Toys/Tamagotchi}} is dead. Because of course it is.
132
133	** Tails complains that he needs to get "some less traumatizing memories" after flashing back to being shot down in Wing Fortress Zone in Sonic 2.
134
135	** In yet another [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 SA2]] reference, Chris complains that the new Tornado can't be Tornado III because "THE CYCLONE WALKER IS ALREADY TORNADO III! YOU CAN’T HAVE TWO!"
136
137	** Responding to this, Sonic references VideoGame/SonicGenerations by claiming he went to school with another kid called Sonic, who he refers to as a "mute prick."
138
139	** The Nor'Easter produces the same famous engine roar as Starbug from Series/RedDwarf.
140
141	** Sonic sings his own version of "I'm a grand old flag" while dangling from the Sucktanic.
142
143	** Eggman ditches his collection of '60s Series/DoctorWho master copies to reduce the weight of the Sucktanic. "I'm sure someone will find them," he says, in reference to the large number of famously lost episodes of the series from that era.
144
145	** When Sonic freezes in space, he says "Get me, I’m [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgeHog2006 Sonic ‘06]]!" in reference to the game's infamously unbearable loading times.
146
147	** Moments later, when Sonic is completely frozen he has misaligned green gumball eyes in reference to the famous Sonic popsicle stocked by ice cream trucks across America.
148
149	** "Warm him with a power ring! Like on the [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM Sat-Ay-Em]]!"
150
151	** In the final scene, Sonic is watching an episode of COPS.
