History Recap / AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehogS01E016TailsNewHome

* {{Narcissist}}: After Robotnik succeeds in capturing Tails, he gives himself a prrrromotion!

** Like with the "Sonic Says" in "Recap/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehogS01E01SSSSSSquad", the writers were possibly aware of the UnfortunateImplications, as later episodes have Sonic encourage robots that defect from Robotnik (most notably "Recap/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehogS01E29RobotnikJr").

* ImpactSilhouette: Tails leaves a Tails-shaped hole in the wall when he flies away after Sonic threatens to tell everyone his real name is "Miles".

* FantasticRacism: Because he can fly using his dual tails, Tails attempts to become adopted by a nest of birds. Unfortunately, the birds don't see fit to him as he's a fox and discard him from their tree.

* KickTheDog: After being adopted by a fox couple who provide him with toys and food, the fox couple immediately turn cold towards Tails and take away his food and toys as they kidnap him and reveal they're working for Dr. Robotnik.
-->'''Fox father''': Masquerades over! We'll take back those presents!
-->'''Fox mother''': It's too late, babyface! Your hedgehog hero's gone!

* RealMenHateAffection: Sonic doesn't want to hear Tails say the "L" word (love). Only to change his mind and tell his buddy that he loves him and that he is Tails' family and gives him a affectionate noogie.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When Robotnik decides to give himself a promotion, the word "Promotion" appears on the screen. Robotnik then wipes the letters off.

* EurekaMoment: Sonic tries to find Tails a home(due to Sonic's concern for Tails well-being after the latter gets injured as a result of Scratch and Grounder) and he eventually finds Tails real parents... or so he thinks as right after Sonic leaves Tails, its revealed to be a trap set by Robotnik. Meanwhile Sonic gets depressed over Tails being gone and has a flashback to when they first met and Sonic gave him the nickname Tails due to him hating his real name-Miles, and then after remembering Tails "father" saying "Tails belongs with his own kind" he then realizes that if those were actually Tails real parents, that they would've called him by his actual name Miles, not the nickname Sonic gave him(since they'd have no way of knowing it) and Sonic then immediately springs into action to save Tails from his fake parents and Robotnik.

Original air date, September 7, 1993.

* YouMakeMeSic: After disguising himself as a mailman, Sonic criticizes the contents of Robotnik's ransom note. Including pointing out Robotnik spelt "Kidnapped with a C" (Cidnapped). Robotnik however explains that's how it will be spelled once [[TakeOverTheWorld he's fully taken over Mobius.]]
