Plot
While performing his janitorial duties in Dr. Robotnik's lab, Coconuts accidentally spills some chemicals into a tub of other chemicals which mix, start bubbling and become purple. Dr. Robotnik bursts in and slips on the mop, causing him to slide across the room and head first into the tub. Coconuts throws a life preserver around his rear end which makes it the only part of his body to not get soaked in the bubbly purple substance. When Robotnik gets out he begins to transform and realizes he now has super powers. He soon calls himself Super Robotnik. He then promotes Coconuts to super lieutenant and assigns him to recreate the formula. Scratch and Grounder are demoted.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Tails are being served Chili Dogs by a man in lederhosen who is thanking them for getting back his villages stolen stuff. Before the duo can enjoy their reward they are attacked by Super Robotnik who freezes them with his breath and throws them to the frozen wastelands of Mobius.

Back at Dr. Robotnik's Lair, Scratch and Grounder are taking inventory of piles and piles of loot that Super Robotnik is stealing. Their boss returns and tells them that Sonic should be escaping his ice soon. Sure enough in the frozen wastelands, Sonic and Tails do escape the ice.

Back in Robotnik's lab, Coconuts is having Scratch and Grounder assist him with the formula, but he accidentally makes an evil green chemical monster. Scratch and Grounder accidentally drop some ingredients into the mix that causes an explosion and blows the chemical monster out of the lab, leaving a large hole in the wall. Super Robotnik flies in and blames Scratch and Grounder, but is quickly distracted, noticing that Mobius' World Leaders are all having a conference trying to figure out what to do about him.

Robotnik goes and kidnaps the four leaders then goes to Sonic and says the only way to save them is to defeat him in a battle of the gladiators. Sonic sends Tails to spy on Super Robotnik and find his weakness. Sonic then goes to his friend Professor Von Schlemmer who makes the "Alter All Purpose Exercise Machine and Juicer" which Sonic uses to get into shape for the match.

Back at Robotnik's lair, Scratch and Grounder are hanging pictures and leave a nail on a chair which Super Robotnik sits on. He then learns that his one weakness is his rear end. Tails sees this and tells his friends.

Professor Von Schlemmer creates a powder that will penetrate Robotnik through his weak spot and then slowly neutralize his powers. He pours the powder on a cushion and then Sonic dresses as a cushion salesman and goes to sell it to Robotnik, who just ends up stealing it. Super Robotnik sits on the cushion and the powder begins to be absorbed into his body.

At the Gladiator Colosseum, Coconuts has not yet remade the super formula so instead he gives Super Robontik a Rump Protector. They begin their events and Super Robotnik immediately cheats and then brags about it. The final event is a battle over a pit of smelly yuck. Sonic jumps over Super Robotnik, removes the rump protector and then kicks him in the rear. Super Robotnik falls in the yuck and then the powder takes effect and his powers fade. Robotnik promotes Scratch and Grounder back to their old positions just so they can pull him out of the yuck.

The announcer declares Sonic to be the champion and the blue blur quickly frees the Mobius leaders from Robontik's dungeon. Sonic and Tails run away to get chili dogs.

Sonic Sez
Coconuts spills chemicals and starts cleaning them up. Sonic stops him and says not to clean up chemicals yourself. Sonic puts on some kind of safety mask and cleans up the chemicals. Coconuts doesn't think it was a big deal then falls through a hole the chemicals burned in the ground.
