Robotnik challenges the Freedom Fighters to compete in the Mobius Olympic games! If they win even one out of three events, Robotnik "promises" to restore Mobius; but if they LOSE, they’ll be fodder for the roboticizer! Meanwhile, before the competition, a SWATbot switches Sonic’s sneakers with energy-draining shoes… So when Sonic drops on the track, the other Freedom Fighters (excluding Tails) must take his place! Can they save Mobius? And what is Tails doing anyway?

Summary: While Sonic and Tails help Sally deal with a batch of extra-thick pancake batter, Boomer decides to buy a mail-order ant farm. What Boomer doesn’t know is that the farm he recieves came from Dr. Robotnik! Instead of ants, Boomer recieves the Termite-nator, a termite which eats wood and paper and grows as it eats!
