Synopsis
Mount Splatterhorn should be a ski break for Sonic and Tails, until a freak blizzard rolls in. The weather is Robotnik’s doing. His Ultra Freeze-O-Matic is meant to freeze everyone on Mobius so that each frozen citizen can be fitted with a servitude patch and a planet will obey him without question; Scratch and Grounder, already running on servitude chips, are his proof that it works.
Then a long ski chase sends the two robots tumbling down the mountain, and the bump on the head scrambles their chips. Sonic announces that he is the boss now, and his new servants lead him straight to the freezing machine.
Robotnik decides his robots have changed sides and tries to bury the lot in an avalanche, then takes Scratch and Grounder back by remote and slaps a patch on Tails. Sonic talks the robots into ordering Tails to peel it off, and the doctor ends the episode frozen into Lake Splatterhorn by his own machine.
