Synopsis
The director of the Mobius Mint announces that Sonic’s face will appear on the new banknote, a tribute to his heroism. Watching on TV, Robotnik is appalled and decides to raid the mint so that it prints notes with his face instead, sending Scratch and Grounder to keep Sonic busy and ordering Coconuts back to cleaning duty.
Then Wes Weasley knocks at the door again, now selling for a magic company. Robotnik throws him out, remembering his last visit, but Coconuts sees an opportunity and gets the doctor to sign an IOU, which he uses to buy thousands of Mobiums’ worth of spells, wands and tricks.
Coconuts sets about mastering his new magic on Sonic, with chaotic results, while Robotnik pursues his money plan. In the end Sonic goes free – and the doctor is left holding the enormous bill.
