Super Robotnik is episode 45 of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog in production order (production code 238-145), the order used by the DVDs, WildBrain’s official uploads and our episode guide. It was the 45th episode to air in the 1993 syndicated run, on 5 November 1993. It was written by Rowby Goren and directed by Kent Butterworth.
Synopsis
Mopping the lab, Coconuts knocks some chemicals into a tub of others, and the mixture bubbles purple. Robotnik bursts in, slips on the mop and lands head first in the tub, with only his rear end – stuck in the life preserver Coconuts throws him – staying dry.
He emerges as Super Robotnik, crowning himself with superpowers and promoting Coconuts to Super Lieutenant and ordering him to cook up more of the formula. Scratch and Grounder get demoted. The new superhero-villain freezes Sonic and Tails with his breath, flings them into the frozen wastelands, and starts threatening Mobius’ world leaders and humiliating Sonic in public.
Robotnik challenges Sonic to an Olympics-style gladiator match, with the loser banished from Mobius. With Professor Von Schlemmer’s help, Sonic finds the weak spot in the doctor’s powers – and the antidote – and wins the bout.
