Synopsis
The episode starts in a laundry, where Scratch and Grounder have trapped Sonic and Tails in a giant tumbling drum. The heroes escape, crackling with static, and sling the robots out of the door.
Back at the fortress Robotnik frets that he will grow old before he catches Sonic – which gives him an idea: age the hedgehog instead. His new ray fires at Sonic and Tails while they are working as food tasters at an instant-food factory, but instead of making them old, it turns them into babies. Before long Robotnik has zapped himself as well.
The three infants end up at a daycare centre, where a hyperactive baby Sonic has to keep a bully-baby Robotnik in line while Scratch and Grounder try disguise after disguise to convince the owner that they are his parents. The ray wears off in the end, with the villains caught in the act.
