When Doctor Eggman's biggest robot yet, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin HugeBot]], is easily destroyed by Sonic, Eggman realizes that [[BiggerIsBetter bigger is]] [[InvertedTrope not better]], so he creates a bunch of tiny [=FleaBots=] guaranteed to turn even the most hygenic foe into a bumbling itchy mess. Orbot and Cubot proceeds to take the [=FleaBots=] and plant them on Sonic and his friends.

Sure enough, the ravages of the [=FleaBots=] turn Sonic and co. into bumbling itchy messes. And to make matters worse, their flea infestations result in them being placed in quarantine. With Sonic and the others locked up in quarantine, Doctor Eggman is free to rampage through the village, with nothing to stop him.

Meanwhile, Sonic and the others are trying everything they can think of to get rid of the fleas, but they soon discover that thay're not fleas at all, but [=FleaBots=]. Recognizing this as one of Eggman's schemes, Team Sonic attacks Eggman's lair, but struggle to fight effectively due to their itchiness. Eventually, they manage to get their hands on the [=FleaBot=] controller, and turn the tables on Eggman by infesting him with his own Fleabots.
