Previously on Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr. Robotnik and his stooge bots tried to procure the Chaos Emerald of Immortality from Ancient Mobigypt, and were foiled by Sonic and his ancestor, Masonic, and subsequently sent back to a World War I dogfight. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the final part of this strange, four-part time-travel comedy of errors. Botsy and his bots manage to escape the Kaiser with nary a scratch (or a grounder) and head back deep, deep into the past, for there is but one final emerald to procure: the emerald of life. With it, Robotnik can bring anything to life. Anything. Meanwhile, after three trips through time and stopping Robotnik from stealing three emeralds and dispensing of him into a time warp three times, I'd say Sonic and Tails have finally earned a rest on the beach. But when the two-tailed fox was looking for his companion to go shred a few waves, he gets hit by a blue volleyball. Hey, watch where you're going, Wilson! He scolds the ball as if it's alive, and it is: turns out Sonic made himself the ball so those cute girls would hit him back and forth. Guess we know what he's into. But, fun and games will have to wait, for here comes Professor Caninestein! Wasting no time, he presents our heroes with a time-travel skateboard and informs them that Robotnik is out to get the emerald of life, although he doesn't specify where, or when, the villain had gone. FYI, they've traveled to 75,000,000 B. C., near an active volcano which had ejected the emerald they seek. Yep, it's just sitting there on top of a volcano. But before Robotnik, Scratch and Grounder can get it, they're stopped by a tribe of small, prehistoric bears. So, Ewoks existed in Mobius' history? However, Robotnik remembers he still had his roboticizer ray... which would've come in handy for him in the last two time periods, and turns a giant T-Rex into a robosaur. He even sics it on Sonic and Tails when they predictably show up, however as usual, Sonic manages to manipulate one of Robotnik's robots into being his pet and uses it to chase after the bad guys. They get cornered at a cliff over a river of molten lava. Surprisingly, Robotnik pushes Scratch and Grounder off, then jumps himself. Like the coward he is, he took the coward's way out. No, sir, luck is on Botsy's side as he managed to find a deus ex machina between them and the lava: a pteradactyl. Well, Sonic got the last several deus ex machinas all to himself, I guess it was Robotnik's turn. He flies it up to the volcano, where the emerald is just a hop, skip, and a fall away. However, it's stuck fast. This is because, according to Magma the Volcano God, a sacrifice must be made before the emerald of life can be bestowed. Not finding that a problem at all, Robotnik tosses Grounder and Scratch into the magma and gets the emerald, just as Sonic, Tails, and the Prehistoric Ewoks arrive too late. Robotnik commands lava people to capture our heroes and toss them into the volcano, though I'm very sure they would've burned up the instant those lava men touched them. He even ties Tails' tails together to prevent his escape, but what he should have done was bound Sonic's feet together. Didn't the experiences in Camelot and Egypt teach him anything? Obviously not. So Sonic saves everybody just in time and then, oh crap, Scratch and Grounder are still alive. Guess this means Magma would get the emerald back. Nah, Botsy doesn't play fair. Together with Robotnik, they take off to gather up the other three emeralds. Okay, so I guess this establishes he didn't get the invisibility emerald; my mistake. Anyway, time for some backtracking. They're going to race through the last three episodes to gather up the other emeralds. Just goes to show that this story didn't need to be in four parts.
Back in Ancient Mobigypt, Robotnik and the robots arrive in Robotnikhotep's tomb to grab the emerald of immortality, and when Sonic and Tails show up, sends his great, great, great x8 ancestor after him, but after Sonic unravels his sheets, we see Robotnikhotep had been a ghost all along. Then on to King Arfer's Court, where, under threat of hurting Gwendolyn, the king surrenders the emerald of invincibility. Of course, Sonic arrives and this time he's angry, he knights up and runs at Botsy with a javelin, apparently ready to end him once and for all, however the invincibility emerald prevents him. Finally, back to ye olde pirate days, where they dig up the invisibility emerald. Sonic arrives too late, again, and once again, fails to stop Robotnik from getting the emerald. Using his life powers, Robotnik turns the treasure chest into a giant crab that eats Sonic. I love how he calls for Tails to rescue him. What's wrong, speedy, can't get yourself out? Just have Tails bury a note requesting a bottle of ipecac and Professor Caninestine will find it. Not gonna go to that well again? Good for you, Jeffrey Scott. Well, now Robotnik collected all 4 emeralds, and yet, we're still going to get the bad ending, but at least we can finally see what having all four emeralds combined will accomplish. Returning to the present, he hangs all four emeralds around his neck, and with those powers combined, he comes... a god. A fifty-foot, all powerful master of the universe. Oh no, how is Sonic going to stop him now? I mean, he can't even extricate himself from the belly of a robot crab treasure chest. Man, this show is weird. Luckily, even though it's part machine and part chest, it still has a libido, which Tails puts to good use by introducing him to a lady crab. Now free, they race back to the future and are too late, again. So, Robotnik has Sonic and Tails right where he wants them: in the palm of his mighty hand. He could crush them dead in two seconds, or he could just bound them to their time travel skateboard and send them to the beginning of time. Again, why wasn't there an emerald for intelligence? So, they're sent to the beginning of the universe, which Tails says he learned about in school. Since when does he go to school? It's the time of the Big Bang (if you believe that theory), and in this case, guess what caused it? A giant stick of TNT. Hardy-har-har. They escape and take off on their time travel board. So, what now? How about going back before Robotnik got the emeralds and stopping him? Nope, they've got a much more convoluted, and confusing idea. Sonic takes them back to the beginning of the episode before he and Tails arrived at the volcano, so they can greet themselves when they arrived. Then they go to the other time periods and get those Sonics and Tailses and form an army of clones... who also have their own skateboards. Shouldn't they be using the shoes and boogy board? Whatever. Well, with only 2 minutes left in the run time, Sonic and Tails to the power of five arrive to topple Supreme High Robotnik, and make him look like a Supreme High Dunce. He falls flat on his face, as the original Sonic takes his emeralds, reducing him back to his regular, flabby self. He then instructs the other Sonics and Tailses to return the emeralds to their proper time zones and destroy the time machine. Guess Sonic didn't want to go himself to make sure it got done properly, but oh well, Robotnik was foiled once again and Mobius was safe, in the past, present, and, judging by how ineffectual, clumsy and incompetent Robotnik is, in the future too. Our Sonic Says is about working safely with electricity, demonstrated by Tails tampering with the time skateboard and causing Robotnik to get electrocuted. It's a good lesson, although Tails is supposed to be a whiz at gadgetry. That is, when he isn't being a damsel for Sonic to save.
So concludes our four-part time travel saga. This episode wasn't bad, I liked it as much as Robotnik's Pyramid Scheme, but I really don't think this needed to be four parts. The concept of multiple Sonics (and Tails) is a clever idea, even if it felt rushed. Like, did we really need to see them travel back to Mobigypt, Camelot, and the pirate days again? We've already been there, just say Robotnik went back and got the emeralds, then focus more on the final battle. Obviously, we wouldn't expect anything epic on a show like this, but wasn't the whole emerald escapade building up to Robotnik becoming a god? Whatever, taken for what it is, it's not a horrible episode. I do wonder if Marvel's writers were somewhat inspired by this to make the Infinity Stones storyline of their movies. Like, getting the life emerald was similar to getting the soul stone in Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, except here, no one would be shedding tears for Scratch and Grounder. Also, why were the emeralds all green? I know emeralds are naturally green, but in the Sonic games, they're all colors, so why not do the same here? So in closing, I do recommend Prehistoric Sonic, and as for the other three parts, sure, give them a watch too, if you've got the time.
