Victory is episode 39 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 5 August 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
Mayor Fink is closing the village rec centre for lack of money, and after Team Sonic’s petition goes through his shredder, Eggman offers to buy it as his private playground. Village rules say ownership can only change hands through an athletic contest, so Sonic challenges him to soccer. Small snag for Eggman: none of his robots can play.
Only Team Sonic could beat Team Sonic, Orbot points out, so Eggman flies to the city in the clouds and gives Team Cybonic some wristband pedometers that are really mind-control devices. The cyborg doubles become Team “Eggman Is Awesome”, and when practice looks too even, a firmware update turns them into obnoxious high-school jocks. They win the practice game and spend the week taunting their originals.
The jocks lead at half-time, but Tails spots the flaw: the upgrade has left them too dim to cope with anything creative. So Team Sonic dances, juggles and showboats its way to victory, and Fink keeps the rec centre open (and closes the library instead). Eggman breaks his promise to release the cyborgs, but the heroes rip off the pedometers, and both teams end the day kicking the Eggmobile around.
