==Summary==
The Oracle advises the Hedgehogs to undertake a mission which could reveal answers about their future. Sonic, Manic and Sonia are thrown into a universe that almost seems to parallel their own, however in this dimension, they are not the in the resistance, the Hedgehogs are the rulers of Mobius and are greedy, spoiled and cruel (and in Sonic's counterpart's case, fat and foul-tempered but inflamed with passion for Amy). Confused by this world, they begin to explore and suddenly find themselves confronted by corrupted versions of themselves. 
==Plot==
The Sonic Underground gang visit the Oracle of Delphius and are told to visit another dimension because they (especially Sonic) will learn a very important lesson. They soon arrive and find themselves treated with a lot of respect. Upon arrival, they find a beautiful city with bowing citizenry and fine statues of themselves, but all is not as it seems.
The Freedom Fighters of this dimension capture Sonia, Manic, and Sonic and take them to their leader, Robotnik, and he accuses them of taking away their money, freedom, and even music. The triplets realise that they're in an opposite dimension where Robotnik's the hero and they're the villains. After realizing that the hedgehogs he has captured are not the royal triplets of his dimension (by seeing live video of the royals via his Spybot), we rapidly learn that the siblings of this dimension are greedy, selfish and spoiled rulers, with an obese Prince Sonic gorging himself on chili dogs (and spending much time with his wife Amy in bed), corrupt Prince Manic demanding extortionate taxes, and the cruel Princess Sonia imprisoning entire families - and all three have left their love of music and song behind (thought not completely in Prince Sonic's case—he still sings to her at night). Sonic has also taken Amy as his wife as well, but has not crowned her his queen yet due to his siblings already sharing the throne.
The heroes show the Freedom Fighters and Robotnik that they're not like their cruel doubles by singing. Robotnik tells them that the rulers haven't left their palace "in a very long time" and have no idea what it's like for the people they're oppressing. Sonic, Manic, and Sonia sneak into the palace disguised as themselves, reassign all of the guards to various positions in the palace, and once again see their doppelgangers criticizing good food, over-taxing citizens, and sending servants to the dungeon.
They confront their lookalikes. Sonic races his double, but his corrupt double cheats. However, Robotnik shows up, and in a fair race, the good Sonic wins easily. Manic sucks up all of his greedy double's money with a giant vacuum and accuses him of stealing from the poor while remarking that he himself doesn't steal as he was never raised by thieves. His double insists that "I don't steal, I tax!", but Manic is not fooled, and sucks him up too. Sonia's spoiled double throws a tantrum over the prick of a needle and later orders one of her maids to bring her a mirror, but Sonia tricks her with a fake mirror, and when Manic shows up with his double, the double Sonia faints.
They confront their lookalikes and take them on a trip outside the palace to see what they've done to their world. Their doubles are shocked and dismayed when they realise what they've done through their corruption and over-taxing, and decide that they must change their laws, for Sonia and Manic to abdicate their share of rulership, and change their ways to make a better world for everybody. The now-good Sonic finally crowns his wife Amy as Queen of Mobius.
The gang leave the world, but not before the good Robotnik promises that he will aid them on occasion and that they should visit again someday. Sonic hears their mother and father's voices and a vision of Queen Aleena and King Jules says they are very happy for what they have done. The apparitions vanish while Sonic breaks down in tears. His siblings console him and, with his resolve renewed, Sonic promises his parents that they will find them and restore Mobius to peace, and their journey for their parents continues. (In a deleted line from the script, Manic assures his brother that all Mobians have a dark side to them and that his strength of command as the future King of Mobius lies in his negative, selfish, fattened, lustful self.)

----
:Sonic: I finally got one!
:Sonia: One what? [sees statue of Sonic] Oh, I don't believe it!
[Sonic runs down to get a closer look, the statue looks like Sonic but has a fat belly.]
:Sonic: Me neither, but what's with the bulge on my perfect bod? Amy won't love that.
[A lady approaches, sees Sonic and curtseys before running off.]
:Sonia: What's with her? And why do they have a statue of YOU?
:Manic: Maybe the pigeons needed a place to sit!
:Sonic: Ah, I guess my coolness precedes me! Ever think of that?
:Sonia and Manic: No!
:Sonic: Jealousy is not attractive!
----

: Sonic: All I want? Free of charge? I think I've found paradise!
: Jake: Wait a minute...[looks around]...where is your queen, Your Majesty?
: Sonic: [gasps, to himself] Amy? [to Jake] She's back in the palace.
: Jake: Would you like to order one for her?
: Sonic: Yes, please. Wrap it up in the prettiest foils you can find for her.
: Jake: [laughs] As you command, my liege.
: [Alternate Robotnik is shown watching from a distance.]
: alternate Robotnik: I can't believe our luck! All three hedgehogs without their bodyguards ripe for the picking! Tell Jake it's a go!
: Sonia: How awful! Nothing but ruins!
: Manic: Yeah, looks like Robotropolis!
: Sonic: But the chili dogs are free! Got one for Amy too.
:Manic and Sonia: Ooooooooh!
:Sonic: [angrily] CUT THAT OUT!
: [Some doors in the van open and smiling Swatbots come out.]
: Sonic: Uh oh!
:Manic: Hey, wait a minute! A smiling Swatbot?! Hey!
: [Jake shoots Sonic with an Electronic Shackle gun, trapping him.]
: Jake: Ha! Gotcha!
: Sonic: I don't think we're in Robotropolis any more... Oracles...you gotta love 'em! A little help here, please?
: Jake: Inside! Move!
: Manic: Ladies first!
: Sonia: Time to twirl and whirl! [Goes into a Sonia Spin.]

----
Robotnik: Welcome, your Majesties! Please, make yourselves at home!
Sonic: What do you know, bald-boy got a rug and some new duds!
Robotnik: Very amusing, Sire.
Sonic: SIRE?!
Robotnik: But even more amusing is the fact that as of right now, the Revolution is over!
Manic: Way too strange! Ooooooh!
Robotnik: YOU took away our money! YOU took away our freedom! And you even took away our music and food!
All: Huh?
Robotnik: But from this day forward, my Freedom Fighters shall live free!
Sonic: YOUR Freedom Fighters?
Sonia: Smiling SWATBots, statues of us, calling us royalty - I think I know what's going on...
Manic: What?
Sonia: Where Oracle put us is in a weird dimension where Robotnik's the good guy and...
Sonic: We're the bad guys?
----
Bad Sonic: Those were the worst chili dogs I EVER tasted
Cook: Ohhhhhh...
Bad Sonic: Throw him in the dungeon!
[SWATBots approach the good hedgehogs with the cook.]
Sonia: Huh?
Cook: Oh, please, Sire! I'm sorry about the chili dogs! PLEASE don't send me to the dungeon!
Sonic: Huh?
Cook: Please!!!
Sonic: Oh... Oh yeah, that. Er - I changed my mind - let him go!
Cook: Ohhh, thank you Sire, thank you! Oh wait, where is your queen?
Sonic: (to himself) Amy? (to the cook) Oh, uh, she's in the bedchamber.
Cook: Oh phew, I was worried.
Sonic: Let's split up - we can kick more butt that way!
Sonia: Meet back here in 30 minutes!
Sonic: How about 30 seconds?
[Sonic rushes off, but comes back.]
Sonic: (to SWATBots) Oh, and by the way, you've been reassigned to guard the kitchens! And tell two of the guards they've been reassigned to guard the royal bedchamber!
[We see all the SWATBots being reassigned to different positions in the palace.]
[Sonic enters the bedchamber, where the alternate Amy is reading a book to herself. She looks up.]
Bad Amy: Sonic?
Sonic: I am him, but from another Mobius.
Bad Amy: Why are you here?
Sonic: We came here on a mission by our dimension's Oracle.
Bad Amy: You came here...to stop them?
[Later, Sonic arrives at the dinner table, where the bad Sonic is eating.]
Sonic: Hey, what's up? You gonna eat that? [Flips chili dog into his mouth and chews before swallowing] Delish!
Bad Sonic: (gasps) You...you are...!
Sonic: I'm what you should've been instead of what you are! You didn't listen to Father's warning, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?
Bad Sonic: (angrily) Guards! GUARDS!
Sonic: Oh, didn't I tell you? I reassigned the guards!
Bad Sonic: (angrily) WHAT?!
Sonic: It's just you and me, pal! Tell ya what - let's have a little race - end of the table and back! Winner take all - in this case, the palace, village, countryside - the whole enchilada! Or... chili-dogs! I'll even take your queen!
Bad Sonic: Hah! You speak nonsense! No one is faster than me!
Sonic: That right? Well, tell ya what... I'll go in reverse!
Bad Sonic: Deal!
[They shake hands.]
Sonic: Tell ya what, King Henry Hedgehog. Just to make it fair, I'll even give you a head start! Ready, set, go!
[Bad Sonic starts running, but the good Sonic soon catches up. Bad Sonic gets mad and puts some electronic shackles on the good Sonic.]
Sonic: Hey! Argh!
[Bad Sonic laughs megalomaniacally.]
Bad Sonic: Guess you lose!
----
: [Alternate Manic is seen counting his money, but is interrupted by Manic, who arrives with a huge vacuum.]
: Alternate Manic: Huh?
: [Manic's vacuum sucks up all the money.]
: Alternate Manic: Stop! Guards! Where are my guards?!
: Manic: I sent them home!
: Bad Manic: [Stuttering] You... you look... oh... oh... you... you...
: Manic: Just like you! Yeah, I may look like you, and I may sound like you, but I don't steal from the poor! Heck, I don't even steal at all. What? You think I was raised by thieves or something?
: Alternate Manic: I don't steal, I tax!
: Manic: Not any more... [The vacuum sucks up bad Manic.]
: Manic: You up for a little ride?
: Alternate Manic: I have a bad feeling about this.
----
[Scene change: alternate Sonia's apartments.]
: Alternate Sonia: Bring me my mirror.
: [Sonia pushes in an empty wooden frame, then stands behind it copying alternate Sonia's movements like a reflection.]
: [Alternate Sonia blows a raspberry, then Sonia moves forward through the frame and headbutts her.]
: Alternate Sonia: Who are you?
: Sonia: I'm you, but WAY better, girlfriend!
: Alternate Sonia: (fearfully) No! No! It can't be! Get out of here you... you impostor! Guards!
: [Manic arrives with alternate Manic still trapped in the vacuum.]
: [Alternate Sonia faints.]
[Scene change: Great hall.] [Alternate Sonic is standing over the captured Sonic]
: Alternate Sonic: If you're me from another Mobius, then I know where you're going!
: Sonic: Tell ya what, let's race again! This time, I'll beat you on one leg, going backwards, eyes closed, AND holding my breath! That should make it about even...
: Alternate Sonic: Doesn't matter! I've recalled my guards, they'll be here any moment!
: [Swatbots arrive.]
: Alternate Sonic: Put him in irons!
: Alternate Robotnik: That won't be necessary!
: Alternate Sonic: (angrily) WHAT?!
: [Alternate Robotnik removes the shackles from Sonic using his own Electronic Shackle gun.]
: Sonic: Never thought I'd be saying this, but... thanks, Robotnik! May I?
: Robotnik: Be my guest!
[Sonic takes the Electronic Shackle gun from alternate Robotnik.]
: Sonic: For someone so slow, you sure are in a big hurry! [Shoots alternate Sonic with the Electronic Shackle gun then sweep kicks him.] You're outta here!
----
[Scene change: Throne room.]
: Manic: So, what do we do with them?
: Sonia: Too bad we can't take them back to Robotropolis right now and show them what it's like to live underground.
:Sonic: I'll be sure to ask Orc to keep the portal open.
: Robotnik: You know, they're so arrogant. They haven't left the palace in a very long time! They have no idea...
: Sonic: I think you've got something there, Robuttnik!
: Robotnik: What?
: Sonic: Sorry, big guy - hard habit to break! Anyway, why don't we give them a grand tour? Let them see what they've done to Mobotropolis!
[The van drives through the lower areas of Mobotropolis, so the bad hedgehogs can see the damage. Sonic looks at the alternate Amy and starts crying.]
Sonic: Amy...
Robotnik: This street once thrived with family-owned stores, but months of your taxes put them out of business.
Bad Manic: But the Government needs...
Manic: Open your eyes, not your mouth, bud!
[We see an orphan looking sad.]
Bad Sonia: Awww, poor little girl! [cries]
[The hedgehogs see the error of their ways and start crying, giving back objects of value.]
----
Bad Sonic: Say, what is this place?
Robotnik: A place where anyone who wants to sing and play music are taught.
Bad Sonia: It's beautiful! There was a time when I was very young that I played and sang, and so did my brothers!
Robotnik: (faking anger) Oh, I remember...[all laugh]
[The now-good hedgehogs give a speech in front of the citizens. The good Sonic holds a consort crown in his hands. He is now dressed in an outfit similar to the one worn by King Henry VIII in his portrait by Hans Holbein.]
Good Sonic: From this time forward, my citizens, we shall have a kingdom of peace, prosperity, music and... chili-dogs for all! [crowd cheers]
Good Sonic: But I shall not be ruling alone. Let it be known, I choose Amy Rose to be my queen.
[On the last eight words of this line, the good Sonic places the crown on Amy's head. The crowd cheers and the good Sonic and Amy share a very passionate kiss.]
Robotnik: All hail King Sonic and Queen Amy!
[The crowd cheers again. Sonic starts crying.]
Sonic: Amy...
Robotnik: I'll help you guys out as much as I can. Maybe you guys can visit again someday.
Sonic: Thanks, big guy!
----
Manic: Mom? Dad?
[A vision of King Jules and Queen Aleena appears.]
Sonia: Mother? Father?
Queen Aleena: Your father and I are so proud of what you did! You saw what happened when power corrupts, and you saw what happened when good triumphs over evil.
King Jules: We promise you that one day soon, this too will happen...
Queen Aleena and King Jules: We love you...
[Queen Aleena and King Jules disappear.]
Manic: Mom! Dad! Wait!
[Sonic breaks down in tears.]
Sonia: Let's juice and jam, guys! We've got work to do! Bro, you okay?
Sonic: [voice breaking, sobbing] I thought we found them!
:(Sonic continues crying and sobbing. Manic hugs him.)
Manic: We all did what we could, but it's not the prophesized moment just yet.
Sonia: Dear brother, one day we will reunite with our beloved family... permanently.
Manic: And together we will restore Mobius to peace.
Sonic: Mother, Father, hold on. We will reunite.
== Continuity ==
* The Oracle first gave the orb to the royal triplets in When in Rome....
* Sonic still wears the signet ring he received from Luke Periwinkle in Hedgehoog in the Iron Mask.
* Sonia still has her gifts from Sleetus in When in Rome....
==Trivia==
*This is one of the only two episodes where Aleena's narration is not heard in the beginning of an episode, but her husband's is.
*One of the biggest departures from the original episode is that after the apparititions of King Jules and Queen Aleena disappear, it is not Sonia that is breaking down but it is instead Sonic, once again showing his vulnerability and longing to be reunited with his beloved parents.
*Sonia is the only one who dresses any different to her doppelganger - Sonic and Manic both dress the same as their doubles initially, but change into more courtly outfits later during the gathering in Sanctuary. While they were the same height as their doubles in the original episode, they are as tall as Queen Aleena in the reboot.
*This is also one of the few episodes where Sleet and Dingo do not appear in, at least in the alternate dimension. Instead Underground counterparts of Scratch, Coconuts and Grounder take their place. Like the good Robotnik, they really like the prime Sonic and are very kind to him.
**It is also the only episode where the main-universe Dr. Robotnik is absent; an alternate dimension version of him appears instead.
**In addition, alternate-universe counterparts of Master Conkdor, Uncle Chuck, Jules and Aleena appear as well.
* Sonic's nickname for his alternate counterpart, "King Henry Hedgehog", is a reference to King Henry VIII, who was once very athletic in his youth but became very overweight and foul-tempered during his reign (eating a diet consisting of fatty red meats and very few vegetables), but there is a difference between the two. While Henry had six queens, Sonic only has one. His outfit at the gathering in Sanctuary is even similar to an outfit worn by King Henry VIII in his portrait by Hans Holbein.
