Plot
On a starry night, Team Sonic are sitting at a campfire when a colorful meteor shower over them and one of the meteors falls down nearby. Curious, the team heads over to the crater to investigate the meteor, where they meet Dr. Eggman, Orbot and Cubot. Eggman calls dips on the meteor, but Sonic tells him he can only do that when touching the thing you want, so he and Eggman race each other to the meteor, where they touch it at the same time. The meteor glows and knocks them both out.

When Sonic comes to, he find himself in Dr. Eggman's lair and notices to his horror that he is in Eggman's body. As Orbot and Cubot enter and explain how they brought him back to the lair, Sonic tries to explain to them that he and Eggman had switched bodies, but they have a hard time believing it. As he discovers it the hard way that he does not have his super speed anymore, Sonic decides to find Tails for help. Meanwhile, Tails is studying the meteor in its crater. Back at Sonic's Shack, Eggman (in Sonic's body) is taken care of Amy. As Amy departs, Eggman reviews his situation and is liking it, since his powerful mind combined with Sonic's speed and strength would make him unstoppable. After some practice, he gets the hang of Sonic's powers and plots to eradicate Team Sonic, but ends up postponing it several times in favor of enjoyable activities with Sonic's friends.

Using the Egg Mobile (with some trouble), Sonic travels back home with Orbot and Cubot, who still doubts Sonic's explanation, where he finds Eggman with Knuckles, Amy and Sticks. Sonic tries to tell his friends that he and Eggman switched bodies, but Eggman rebuffs his claims. Needless, Knuckles, Amy and Sticks do not believe Sonic and when Eggman's fakes an assault on him by Sonic, he gets Knuckles, Amy and Sticks to attack him. In Eggman's body, Sonic does not stand a chance and is pummeled by his friends until Orbot and Cubot halts him back to the lair.

At Eggman's lair, Sonic is at a loss of how he can defeat Eggman with their bodies switched, until Cubot reminds him that he has an army of robots at his disposal. Back at Sonic's Shack, Eggman is relishing in his victory with the team until Sonic arrives with a horde of foot soldiers, the Mega and Burnbot, which he orders to combat his friends and Eggman without hurting them (which the robots first complies to after he threatens as per their programming). While his friends fight the robots, Sonic manages by luck to immobilize Eggman. During the battle, at the meteor crater, Tails discovers the meteor's abilities to switch minds when it does it to a lizard and a fly. Tails brings the meteor to the battle site, and explains what happened to Sonic and Eggman. Eggman takes the meteor, but by doing so he blows his cover.

Tails tells everyone that for Sonic and Eggman to switch back, they have to touch the meteor again, but in response, Eggman takes his distance from the meteor. Despite Sonic telling him to, Eggman refuses to touch the meteor, until Sonic starts threatening to clip off Eggman's mustache on his body. Eventually, Eggman gives in and they touch the meteor at the same time, thus switching their minds back. While things goes back to normal for Team Sonic, Eggman fumes over his defeat in his lair, where Orbot and Cubot have played a prank on him by letting Eggman get sunburned in a way so he has symbol resembling Sonic on his forehead.
