Slow Motion Machine

The Slow Motion Machine is an object that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. It is a device invented by Dr. Eggman with the ability to slow down time.

Description
The Slow Motion Machine is a transparent regular dodecahedron with a red energy ball from a slow cooker hovering in the center. When activated, the device emanates a light that slows the time flow down to a crawl. While it is unknown how slow time becomes, one second appears to last about a few minutes.

Speedsters like Sonic are partially able to circumvent the Slow Motion Machine as their super speed movements- and perception are only reduced to normal levels by it. Dr. Eggman has well discovered an unspecified way to be unaffected by it.

The Slow Motion Machine is controlled by Eggman's wrist controller and only its commands can restore time to normal. That means that simply destroying the device while it is active will leave time slowed down forever.

History
The Slow Motion Machine was conceived by Dr. Eggman when he needed more time on New Year's Eve to keep his New Year's resolution of beating Sonic just once this year. Harnessing the energy core of a slow cooker, Eggman built the Slow Motion Machine and deployed it in the Village Center. With Eggman and Sonic able to circumvent the Slow Motion Machine's effects (the latter due to his super speed), Sonic's only option to stop the Slow Motion Machine was to accept Eggman's challenges, as he could not destroy it. When Sonic let Eggman win, the doctor shut down the Slow Motion Machine so he could gloat, but no one believed him as his victory happened too fast.
