Synopsis
Picture a world where Dave is on Team Sonic, Eggman dresses in green, Sonic is the lovable oaf and Knuckles is the brilliant leader. When a misfiring Octopus Bot opens a hole in reality, that Knuckles falls through it and lands on the beach in front of our Team Sonic, closely followed by the regular model.
A blue party hat is enough to tell them apart, but the visitor finds this world baffling (even Dave isn’t his Dave), and Sticks is horrified at the thought of a second Sticks. Worse, our Knuckles starts to flicker, and Tails warns that two of him in one universe will make both universes collapse. The clever Knuckles has already gone to Eggman, hoping to recreate the blast that brought him here.
Eggman has simply locked him in a cage. Once Sonic, Amy and Sticks explain that reality is about to collapse in his freshly waxed lab, though, the doctor hands over both the prisoner and the lasers Tails needs. A fist-bump between the two echidnas, a pause while Tails fetches batteries for the remote, and the other Knuckles is home, helping his own clumsy Sonic back to his feet.
