Dr. Robotnik's up to his old tricks as he's convinced a superhero that Sonic is the enemy! (Sound familiar? Check "Over The Hill Hero"!) Capturing Sonic under the impression that he could get his own show leaves Tails' and a bunch of other Mobians' plans to give Sonic a surprise banquet and a Hero of the Year award a little askew . . . . Sonic gets captured along with his friends, is slammed inside a giant disco ball and heaved into a lake to drown to death! The trick: If any of his friends come even close to the ball, it'd start filling with water, if Sonic tried to escape he'd drown, and if he did nothing he'd run out of air! And to make matters worse, he places the other Mobians in a cage and starts to sink the ship they're on!
