One day, while in [[Amy's House|her house]] cleaning [[Amy's Hammer|her hammer]], [[Amy Rose (Sonic Boom)|Amy]] hears [[Leroy the Turtle]] knocking on her door and goes to check it. There, Leroy gives Amy a telegram, saying that she has won the [[Most Selfless Award]]. In a bout of selfishness, Amy takes the telegram from Leroy, tipping the turtle over. [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic Boom)|Sonic]] and [[Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic Boom)|Knuckles]] then drops by, asking what is going on, and Amy explains that she (contradictorily) summited herself for the award which she had just won weeks ago. As Amy prepares to go to the awards ceremony, she is begrudgingly convinced by the begging of Sonic and Knuckles to let the two stay watch her house while she is away, although she threatens them with her wrath if they do anything foolish.

One day, [[Amy Rose (Sonic Boom)|Amy]] receives a telegram saying that she has won the [[Most Selfless Award]] and is invited to an awards ceremony. She asks [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic Boom)|Sonic]] and [[Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic Boom)|Knuckles]] to keep [[Amy's House|her house]] clean while she is away. When she leaves, Sonic and Knuckles do a stunt, but while they are eating nachos, Amy's couch gets stained. Sonic tries to clean it with a towel and grape soda but to no avail, and the couch also gets ripped when Sonic and Knuckles try to take it outside. Then, the two are watching TV when [[Comedy Chimp]] advertises a game show called "[[Bro-Down Showdown]]", with the grand prize being a new couch. However, [[Doctor Eggman (Sonic Boom)|Eggman]] is using a [[Fly Bot]] to listen in.
 
   
 
As soon as Amy leaves, Sonic and Knuckles start clowning around with foolish stunts, before sitting down to watch TV. While they are eating nachos, however, Amy's couch gets stained by nacho cheese. Sonic tries to clean it with a towel and grape soda but to no avail, and the couch gets ripped when Sonic and Knuckles try to take it outside. Just as the two believe they are doomed once Amy finds out about this, they see [[Comedy Chimp]] advertise a game show called "[[Bro-Down Showdown]]" on TV, with the grand prize being a new couch (although it takes Knuckles a while to understand the opportunity they are given). Unbeknownst to Sonic and Knuckles however, [[Doctor Eggman (Sonic Boom)|Eggman]] has been using a [[Spy Bot|Fly Bot]] to listen in and has begun plotting a new evil scheme.
At the [[Village Center]], Sonic and Knuckles are auditioning when Eggman shows up. When Sonic and Eggman argue, [[Dixon|staff member]] stops the scuffle and decides to make them partners. The show is about to start, and Comedy Chimp serves as the host. The contestants are, in order from left to right, Sonic and Eggman, Knuckles and [[Mike the Ox]], two [[Stuntbears]], and [[Dave the Intern]] and [[Lady Walrus]]. In the game, Comedy Chimp asks players questions about their teammate, with correct answers scoring points. On one question, the Stuntbears argue with each other, resulting in a disqualification. At the end of the round, Knuckles and Mike have the lowest score and are eliminated from the competition. Before the second round, one of Eggman's robots shows up, and Comedy Chimp says Sonic and Eggman have to attack it together. However, Knuckles attacks it by himself and is able to hit a missile away using a stick. But then, the robot takes on Knuckles and has him pinned to the ground. Just when the robot is about to fire, Sonic rescues him and the two manage to destroy the robot. Eggman is mad that his plan did not work, and this results in a disqualification. Dave and Lady Walrus are declared the winners and head to the couch, only to stain it while eating nachos.

Arriving in the [[Village Center]], Sonic and Knuckles join the auditions along with several other local residents. Eggman then shows up to audition for the show with [[Orbot (Sonic Boom)|Orbot]], much to Sonic's confusion. Soon after, [[Dixon]] arrives and start looking over the participants, only to dismiss them one by one, including Sonic and Knuckles. This provokes an argument between Sonic and Eggman until Dixon stops the scuffle and decides to make them partners for the show. Although not happy about the deal, Sonic accepts it since it gives him a chance to win the couch. Sonic thus breaks off his planned partnership with Knuckles, who does not take the dismissal well.
Back at Amy's house, Amy has arrived back home, and Sonic and Knuckles alert her not to come in. Sure enough, the missile Knuckles hit crashes into her house, destroying the couch. Sonic and Knuckles say that it was Eggman's fault and walk away. Amy looks at the destruction in silence.

Onstage, Knuckles reveals to Sonic and Eggman that he has gotten himself on the show by partnering up with [[Mike the Ox]]. Although Knuckles had planned to make Sonic jealous this way, Sonic believes it was a plan to increase their chances of winning the couch. The show then start. With Comedy Chimp serving as the host, the primate presents the show's contestants, which includes not only Sonic and Eggman, and Knuckles and Mike, but also the duos of [[Stunt Bear No. 1]] and [[Stunt Bear No. 2|2]], and [[Dave the Intern]] and [[Lady Walrus]]. Sonic however, find Dave and Lady Walrus' bro-relationship ridiculous.

In the game, Comedy Chimp asks players questions about their teammate, with correct answers scoring points. On one question during the first round, the [[Stunt Bears]] being arguing with each other, resulting in a disqualification for breaking the "bro-code". At the end of the round, Knuckles and Mike have the lowest score and are eliminated from the competition. Before the second round, Eggman's [[Obliterator Bot]] shows up and starts attacking the village. Sonic tries to engage it, but Comedy Chimp reveals that if he fights Eggman's robot, he would technically break the bro-code and be disqualified, which Eggman gleefully admits was his plan all along: if Sonic wants to win the couch, he would have to let Obliterator Bot destroy the village, but if he fights Obliterator Bot, he would lose his only chance to replace Amy's couch.

While still hurting from Sonic's rejection, Knuckles chooses to battle Obliterator Bot alone while Sonic is forced to complete the game show. As their fight proceeds, Knuckles is able to knock one of Oblierator Bot's missiles away using a stick, but is otherwise outmatched. Eventually, Obliterator Bot has Knuckles pinned to the ground and prepares its laser. Just when the robot is about to fire though, Sonic gives up winning the couch and rescues Knuckles. Using the same foolish stunt they did earlier, Sonic and Knuckles manage to destroy Obliterator Bot. Eggman is mad that his plan did not work, and this results in a disqualification. Dave and Lady Walrus are declared the winners and head to the couch, only to stain it while eating nachos. Sonic and Knuckles on the other hand, worry about what to do about Amy's couch now.

Back at Amy's house, Amy is returning home with her award, and Sonic and Knuckles alert her not to come in. Sure enough, the missile Knuckles hit back in the Village Center crashes into her house, destroying the couch and the evidence of the mess Sonic and Knuckles made. The explosion also makes Leroy fall down again, just after he had gotten back up. Pretending to know nothing about the mess they made on the couch, Sonic and Knuckles say that it was Eggman's fault and walk away. Meanwhile, Amy looks at the destruction in sad silence.

One day, while in her house cleaning her hammer, Amy hears Leroy the Turtle knocking on her door and goes to check it. There, Leroy gives Amy a telegram, saying that she has won the Most Selfless Award. In a bout of selfishness, Amy takes the telegram from Leroy, tipping the turtle over. Sonic and Knuckles then drops by, asking what is going on, and Amy explains that she (contradictorily) summited herself for the award which she had just won weeks ago. As Amy prepares to go to the awards ceremony, she is begrudgingly convinced by the begging of Sonic and Knuckles to let the two stay watch her house while she is away, although she threatens them with her wrath if they do anything foolish.

Just as the two believe they are doomed once Amy finds out about this, they see Comedy Chimp advertise a game show called "Bro-Down Showdown" on TV, with the grand prize being a new couch (although it takes Knuckles a while to understand the opportunity they are given). Unbeknownst to Sonic and Knuckles however, Eggman has been using a Fly Bot to listen in and has begun plotting a new evil scheme.

Arriving in the Village Center, Sonic and Knuckles join the auditions along with several other local residents. Eggman then shows up to audition for the show with Orbot, much to Sonic's confusion.
