Part I
Sonic and Robotnik think back to their childhood when they lived with
Uncle Chuck, the creator of magical rings. The trouble starts when
Robby-a.k.a. Robotnik-makes robots out of parts lying around the farm (including
parts from Uncle Chuck's tractor). After Sonic speeds off, Uncle Chuck
gets on the tractor and begins to drive. All of the sudden, the steering
goes out and Uncle Chuck crashes into Robby. Sonic rushes back to
the barn, only to be shocked at what has occurred.
Part 2
Sonic finds Uncle Chuck's power ring and runs Uncle Chuck and Robby
to the hospital. Because Sonic got there quickly, both Uncle Chuck
and Robby were fine. Later, back at the farm, Robby begins construction
of a new robot after Uncle Chuck found out that he had taken parts from
the tractor. He sends the robot to catch Uncle Chuck, allowing Sonic
to grab the garden hose and wrap it around the robot's legs. The
machine crashes and Sonic wakes up only to find Robotnik chasing him once
again.

Part I
Sally calls Sonic and tells him that Boomer has become a robot.
Boomer turns around and runs to attack Sonic, but then stops and laughs,
explaining that he had a clip-on jaw and contact lenses that made him look
like a robot. He then puts the disguise on Sonic, who travels to Robotropolis
to pose as a robot. Robotnik decides to test Sonic's loyalty and
demands the location of Knothole Village.
Part II
An alarm goes off and Sonic tells Robotnik he'll investigate.
He skids to a halt and the metal jaw comes off, landing on Antoine's foot.
Sally tells Sonic that he can go on with the plan, then leaves with Antoine.
Sonic walks into the crab compound and finds Uncle Chuck working there.
Sonic tries to bring Uncle Chuck to his senses, but Uncle Chuck ends up
calling Muttski to take a bite out of Sonic. Sonic rushes back to
Robotnik, who forces Sonic to put the coordinates of Knothole into a computer
and launch a missile. Seconds later an explosion is heard and Robotnik's
largest factory lies in ruins. The metal jaw ends up on Robotnik's
behind and Sonic escapes.
