Quick recap

Sonic lives with the Wachowskis and tries to be a hero, but he is reckless. When Tom and Maddie leave for a wedding, Robotnik, who escaped the mushroom planet, turns up with Knuckles, an echidna warrior after the Master Emerald. Tails, a two-tailed fox who idolizes Sonic, arrives to warn him. The three chase clues around the world. Robotnik betrays Knuckles and takes the emerald, which makes him powerful and builds a giant robot. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles fight together. The emerald shatters into seven Chaos Emeralds and Sonic turns superpowered. Knuckles repairs the Master Emerald and settles in with the group. At the end, Commander Walters learns about Project Shadow.
