Grrr!
Hey, where you headed?
To collect gum tree berries for my holiday wreaths.
Exploding berries?
Grenades for when the holidays get out of hand?
No. They just look nice on your door.
Pretty things attract government agents. And possums.
And you know how horrible they smell.
The possums too.
I'll take that chance.
See you when I get back from Hidden Meadows.
Hidden Meadows? How will you get there?
Well, I was gonna go through Hazard Jungle, past Peril River,
over Danger Falls, through Pleasant Gardens
and round Jeopardy Lake.
Are you kidding me?
You won't make it through Pleasant Gardens.
I got to teach you some survival skills.
[laughing]
What are we laughing at?
If anyone should teach Amy survival skills, it's me.
After Eggman, surviving in the wilderness is a piece of...
[splash]
Cake.
I'm OK.
I'll use my survival skills to fashion a ladder out of water.
Tails, pull me up.
Great work, Tails. You passed Well Rescue.
See, I can teach anyone.
How about Knuckles?
I bet that I can teach Amy survival skills
better than you can teach Knuckles.
- [Thump] - [Knuckles] Ow!
[munching] Mmm! This is tasty.
And the losers have to do the winners' laundry for a month.
That's not a fair bet. Knuckles and I don't wear pants.
But I'll do it just to teach you a lesson.
So we'll race to Hidden Meadows.
That'll take a good four days
and some serious survival skills.
Ta-da! Gum tree berries.
It's teams, Sonic. You and Knuckles versus Sticks and me.
To win, both of you need to get there.
- Good luck with that. - [Amy and Sticks giggle]
Well, team mate, I...
[Knuckles whimpers]
I thought you love nature.
I do! That doesn't mean I know how to survive in it.
Well, even so, this is gonna be a piece of...
caaaake.
[splash]
[whistle]
OK, Team Sticks.
First, survival skills aren't
about crafting and making things pretty.
It's using what you've got.
First up, building fires.
- Ah! - Ohh!
Let's try something simpler. Knot tying.
I added cinnamon sticks to mine.
You can hang it in your closet to freshen your clothes.
If you lock yourself in,
you can eat them until you're rescued.
So I hear.
Finish up here. I'll rustle up some dinner.
[sniffs]
Hmm...
Oh, yeah. You're ready.
I wonder how the guys are doing.
Stay tuned for "Survival Skills Made Easy".
Why would anyone watch that?
And now back to "Are You Smart Enough To Feed Yourself?"
That's more like it.
The test to get on that show is a lot harder than you think.
Uh... shouldn't you guys be training?
I have to give in to nature...
Let the training begin. Mmm!
[gulp!]
Should we be bringing food?
No, there's plenty of food in the wild.
As referee for this race, I want a clean competition.
No cheating.
You'll be deep in the woods, so I won't know if you cheat.
Look, just don't cheat, OK?
Come on, you guys.
- My job is hard enough... - Go!
[Knuckles] Sonic? Where are you?
I think I'm lost.
North is that way.
That means it's exactly 2.37.
We're right on schedule!
Look! This is exactly what we need.
- Agh! - Ugh!
Uh-oh, it's 2.37. We'd better get going.
Wait for me!
[squeaking]
Dinner!
There is no way we're eating that adorable little thing.
He's too cute.
I've picked us a nice woodland salad.
- Mm... - Grrr!
Aaargh!
[grunts]
Perfect!
I can't get the fire started.
That's not how you start a fire. Let me show you.
Whoa!
Ow! Ow! Knock it off! Stop it! Ow! Ow!
This is just getting sad.
Ow! Ow!
If you guys admit you lost the bet,
we'll help with the tent and fire and share our food.
No way!
We've had a few setbacks but this isn't over till it's over.
- Tomorrow's another day. - Yeah, if you live to see it.
Here's some food, guys.
[both] Grrr!
- Give it here! - It's mine!
Look what they've got us doing.
Where?
We're going to have to use our brains.
Good idea. And while I'm doing that, you think of something.
I got it. We'll just follow them.
Then right before the finish line, we'll run ahead and win.
Why were we so worried 15 seconds ago?
I don't even remember 15 seconds ago.
Ha-ha.
Look at those losers,
going to bed when there's a whole night ahead of us.
Let's blindfold ourselves, run into the forest
and see if we can find our way back.
[both laugh]
[snoring]
Ugh!
Get up! They didn't wake us up so we could follow them.
That's cheating.
We just have to figure out which way they went.
I'll zip home and grab a compass.
Let me try.
Help!
Phew! I thought we were lost.
- We are lost. - Help!
It's like watching lab rats in a maze.
Lab rats aren't that clueless. We'd better help them.
[Knuckles] Ow! I stepped on my hand. Get off me, me!
You think?
Which way did the girls go?
Not to worry... I'll use my tracking skills.
Hmm... They must have gone that way.
But what if an animal picked up the boomerang and left it there?
We're going that way.
Look, a compass!
Ugh! Gah!
Why did you do that?
Nobody tells Knuckles which way is north.
OK, this time they can't miss the clues.
Even for them this'll be a piece of...
Aaargh!
Cake.
That was freaky. Where are we?
I bet it's an abandoned missile silo.
It's always some crazy conspiracy with you.
What makes you think it's a missile silo?
The missile.
"Eggman Missile Industries. A subsidiary of Eggman Fun Toys."
We heard you scream. You guys OK?
- Never better. - You sure you're OK?
- Yeah. - Now get us out of here!
Oh, we will... after we get to the finish line
using our superior survival skills.
Don't go anywhere! [Laughs]
OK, here's what we do.
I'll cut up the tent,
you put the rest of the food on that console.
How do you know all this?
If I had a newspaper for every time I fell into a missile silo,
we could stack them and climb out of here.
But they're all stacked in my burrow
so we'll have to stick to the original plan.
All set.
- OK, now what? - Bird calls.
[chirps and tweets]
Come on! Peck! Peck!
- Almost there. - [whooshing]
- Hey, you hear something? - [Sticks and Amy] Yee-hah!
Yes! Winners!
[both laugh]
No fair!
Why not? Survival skills are just using what you've got.
We... I... You guys want to lead us home?
Sure.
What happened to that missile?
I stamped it "Return to sender".
[whooshing]
I know that sound. Uh-oh.
[crash!]
