Recap / Sonic Boom S 2 E 37 Return Of The Buddy Buddy Temple Of Doom

Mech Suit vs. Mech Suit. Place your bets.^*...Though we recommend you place them on Sonic, for obvious reasons.

Tropes:

• Call-Back: If you read the comics, then you may remember Me-Bot.
• Didn't Think This Through: Eggman tries to take Sonic down by pressing what he thinks is Me-Bot's self-destruct button, but happens to be its window opener instead.
  Eggman: Yep. Power windows were a mistake.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty: The Froglodyte taskmaster. He's equally as aggressive as the Froglodyte drill sergeant from "Og Man Out", too.
• Ignored Aesop: When the Froglodytes start worshipping Sonic, he tells them they should think for themselves and not waste their lives worshipping false idols. The Frodlodyte High Priest says that he is right, but then they continue bowing to him.
• Japanese Politeness: When Team Sonic return the enslaved Gogobas to their village, they and the Gogoba Chief bow to each other.
• Pie in the Face: This episode appears to end on a warm note, only for Tails to interrupt, saying they forgot to end on a joke. A couple of pies proceed to fall out of the sky and land on him.
• Shout-Out: A lot, actually.
  • This episode is just a big shout-out to a certain Indiana Jones film:
    • Said film's eponymous location is directly references in the title.
    • The premise is at least partially similar; villagers being enslaved in a subterranean lair to look for magic rocks and the heroes being tasked with rescuing them, although Sonic was guilt-tripped whereas Indiana went voluntarily.
    • The cap Tails wears is a reference to Short Round, Indiana's kid sidekick, and Eggman wears a ceremonial skull headdress similar to the villain Mola Ram.
    • The arrangement of the protagonists mirror the film's: the main hero (Sonic/Indiana Jones), a heroine (Amy Rose/Willie Scott), and a young sidekick (Tails/Short Round).
    • Tails being the butt of a joke at the end parodies the finale, where Short Round pranks Indiana and Willie.
    • Part of "The Raiders March" can be heard as Team Sonic and the captured Gogobas return to the village.
  • Two familiar sayings are uttered by Sonic and Eggman respectively as they ready for battle in their mech suits:
  Eggman: Hail to the king, baby!
  Sonic: We're bumping with the flavor now!
  • Two to Tobey Maguire's first outing as Spider-Man:
    • The scene where Sonic's mech suit is dodging shurikens from Me-Bot is reminiscent of the scene where Spider-Man is dodging spinning blades fired by the Green Goblin.
    • The montage of Eggman designing Me-Bot is loosely based on that sequence from the film.
  • "Tummel" is the Yiddish word for "chaos", which could be a nod to the Chaos Emeralds or Chaos Crystals.
  • Y'all remember "fox-boy?"
  • When Sonic, Amy and Tails get captured by Eggman's booby trap:
  Eggman: Ah, Sonic the Hedgehog. Snooping as usual, I see?
  • The Froglodytes' chant when Sonic retrieves the crystal echoes that of a particular favorite from Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).
• Stop Worshipping Me: When the Froglodytes start worshipping Sonic in his mech suit, Sonic tells them they should think for themselves instead of blindly worshipping false gods. Sadly, his message doesn’t get through to the Froglodytes and they continue worshipping him.
