Plot
The scene starts out at a night forest showing Big and Froggy sleeping. Just then, an alarm is heard going off with a nearby tower switching on lights. Sonic the Hedgehog runs towards the base while robots and the base defenses roll along the base preparing to arm themselves. The defenses begin shooting their bullets and missiles on Sonic but the hedgehog proves too fast for them to hit. As Sonic speeds closer to the base, some E-12 Behemoth robots activate and chase Sonic around. In attempt to outrun them, Sonic runs past a spring which activates, lauching Sonic into the air. Sonic gets punched by a E-12 Behemoth, sending him flying.

Tails and Amy arrive into the scene on the Tornado and try to help Sonic. As they are flying past the base defenses, they start shooting resulting the plane being shot and ignites leaving Amy terrified but Tails wants to save Sonic and shoots a missle revealing a power ring shot towards Sonic's direction, which Sonic uses to destroy the robots with ease and makes his way to Eggman's control room. Meanwhile, Decoe tells Eggman that the doors of the base have been closed and locked. Eggman complains why Sonic always had interfered with his plans when Cream responds that Sonic would always be determined to put a stop to Eggman's plans. When Sonic arrives, Dr. Eggman sends a robot to attack Sonic, who tricks the robot into shooting the machine the Chaos Emeralds had been powering. The machine malfunctions and causes Chaos Control sending everyone to another world, Earth.

Sonic is confused by his surroundings. People are stunned at seeing a blue hedgehog. The police try to catch him, but Sonic is too stubborn and too quick for them. When it becomes clear that the usual police units are completely outmatched, they send in the Speed Team. Again, Sonic proves too fast for his pursuers, even toying with them when he exceeds 300km/h in reverse. Sam Speed, the head of the Speed Team, refuses to lose and uses his Super Nitro, but even at 500km/h, Sonic is able to leave the Speed Team in his dust.

However, Sonic is unable to stop himself before he runs off the end of an unfinished overpass. His speed is so great that he actually soars for awhile, looking down at all the beautiful sights. Unfortunately, he lands in a swimming pool and is unable to get out. Luckily, he is rescued by Christopher Thorndyke, who is shocked that Sonic can talk and eagerly introduces himself, asking for Sonic's name as he does so.

Dubbing changes

 * Aside from the change in gun sound effects at the beginning of the episode this scene has been edited:

Trivia

 * While the Japanese title of the episode is "Enter the Supersonic Hero!", on the Australian DVD it is named "Supersonic Hero Returns!".
 * The color of the background when Knuckles' fist punches the rock out of the way is different, but it was determined that this is a change in the masters that 4Kids received.
 * The background when Sonic is running towards Sam Speed is different.
 * Chaos Control referred to Eggman's base rather than the power. This may be due to a scriptwriting error, or the fact that the 4Kids producers knew nothing about the Sonic franchise at that time or a combination of both.
 * Speed Highway possibly appears in this episode.
 * This is the only episode that Rouge appears that doesn't have the Mysterious and Sexy Thief Rouge music to accompany her appearance.
