I decided to point out parts in various Sonic games and media. In some cases, these are Easter Eggs/inside jokes for the fans, and in others, it's pretty much just a re-hash of something we've seen before.
Today we're looking at Sonic Boom's "The Sidekick."

| The Sidekick |
After Tails gets hurt in a plane wreck, Sonic looks for a new sidekick so that Tails will stay safe.
Conclusion: (mostly) Ripoff.
- There are a few "references."
- Tail's plane crashing (happens often in the games--Sonic Adventure, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Unleashed).
- Tail's being bandaged up (Sonic X)
- Sonic fearing water (established in Sonic X and Sonic Underground, hinted in the games since he cannot swim).
- However, the main plot was suspiciously similar to "Tailss New Home," an Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode.
"Tails' New Home"

When Tails gets hurt, Sonic searches for foster parents to raise Tails to keep him safe.
 |
| Yeah. |
Of course, both take different paths and there's no harm in finding inspiration from a past Sonic source, but considering it was the first episode I was pretty annoyed.
