Alone Again, Unnaturally is episode 4 of Season 2 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by Technicolor Animation Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 3 December 2016 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
Never ask Tails to make you faster. A slingshot, rocket skates and a moving walkway have all ended in crashes by the time Tails straps Sonic into his Ultrasonic Speed Amplifier, a chest rig powered by “blast processing”. Sonic keeps yelling for more power until he vanishes, waking beside a smashed wall in an empty village.
He is out of phase with the world, stuck on a different plane of existence. Blaming Eggman, Sonic trashes the doctor’s lair, and Eggman, who can’t see him, decides the place is haunted, until his security camera shows the “ghost” is Sonic, leaving the village unguarded. Back home, Knuckles is sure Tails has disintegrated Sonic, but Tails works out what happened and makes faint contact.
Eggman’s Badniks attack as the link drops, so Amy and Sticks fight while Knuckles guards Tails. The way home needs the control panel on Sonic’s side, so Tails straps on a harness and crosses over, feeling queasy. Together they lack the speed until Sonic digs deeper and drags them both back. The team scraps every robot except one terrified Motobug, which bolts with Eggman chasing it, and a still-green Tails walks to Meh Burger while the others run.
