Plot
Resuming his journey across dimensions to destroy the Oscorp resources to prevent Regent's rise to power, Peter Parker / Spider-Man moves on to the next target: a prototype of Doctor Octopus's tentacle harness which was discarded in the home dimension of Jarvis' robot body. Following him and Jarvis are Mary Jane Watson / Tigra, Kevin Hunt / American Knight, Michelle Jones / Wave and Marcus Thompson / Lion King, with Carlie Cooper again monitoring them from the headquarters' main computers. Entering the portal, Spider-Man and the team stop by a alternate version of Earth, in a new town called Green Hills, located near San Francisco. Again, Peter keeps the teleporter camouflaged to prevent any possible hostile forces from using it to invade his and his friends' home dimension as they move on ahead to search for the tentacle harness and destroy it. Unknown to the Champions, Sonic the Hedgehog was spying on them while recording a video of them in his phone. Certain of the trouble Spider-Man and his team will be in, Sonic speeds up and follows them.

The Champions arrive in San Francisco while trying to remain unseen by citizens who are not familiar with them, or any of their Earth's superheroes like the Avengers. They are however detected and ambushed by EggRobo, who had taken possession of the prototype tentacle harness, and his pack of robots. Right before they can act, Spider-Man and his teammates encounter Sonic, who arrives there to destroy the robots and incapacitate EggRobo, who retreats. Welcoming the team, Sonic also introduces them to his fellow Freedom Fighters, consisting of Sally Acorn, Miles "Tails" Prower, Sticks the Badger and Knuckles the Echidna. Recognizing Jarvis' robot body, the Freedom Figters take him and the Champions to their planet in Mobius, where their mentor Longclaw the Owl tells Spider-Man and his team that Jarvis' robot body was once part of a E-100 robot unit created by the Freedom Fighters' nemesis Dr. Robotnik to collect and roboticize organic life forms. Jarvis' robot form was subdued by Mobius' tribal echidnas and soon found and collected by Richard and Mary Parker for their experimentation and projects. Sonic and Longclaw also reveal that EggRobo was once one of Robotnik's lieutenants until he forcibly shut him down after he went rogue and tried to take control, which was not too long until Oscorp's engineers discarded the Tentancle Harness prototype in their dimension, which reactivated and upgraded EggRobo, leading him to his campaign to try and take over Robotnik's technology and company. Making it back to Earth, the Champions and Freedom Fighters are ambushed by Robotnik, who arrives seeking to "end the Champions' invasion" and retrieve his "stolen technology".

The Champions and Freedom Fighters battle Robotnik and his drones, and evade him while Robotnik is forced to back away when the police arrives. The Champions and Freedom Fighters regroup in the residence of town sheriff Tom Wackowski and his veterinarian wife Maddie (at the time they are preparing Hope Kintobor's birthday party), where they discuss a plan to infiltrate Robotnik's laboratory and find the means to defeat EggRobo. Again, Spider-Man and the team vote on picking a partner and move on; Spider-Man partners with Sonic while Tigra, Wave, American Knight and Lion King side with Sally, Sticks, Tails, and Knuckles respectively. The Champions infiltrate Robotnik Industries disguised as young scientists and enable the Freedom Fighters to sneak in there after discreetly causing the guard robots to fight each other to provide a distraction. Wave and Sticks sabotage the facility's security system while Lion King and Knuckles neutralize the bodyguards, allowing the others to reach the main computer's database, which reveals that the tentacle harness has an artificial intelligence of its own, which is also powering EggRobo up. However, Robotnik eventually discovers team through a small tracer he implanted on Jarvis' body and attempts to terminate them with his robots, but the Champions and Freedom Fighters overcome the robots while Tigra and Sally confront Robotnik himself in his office and pin him down. Just then, Spider-Man and Sonic are confronted by EggRobo, who pins them both down and prepares to roboticize them.

Despite the struggle, Spider-Man and Sonic manage to share their energies with each other (enabling Spider-Man to match Sonic's speed and Sonic to absorb kinetic energy from Spider-Man's armor ) and overcome the roboticizing progress. While the rest of their friends hold their own against the out-of-control robots and roboticized security guards, Spider-Man and Sonic lure EggRobo away from the facility and from San Francisco and take him into a fight which takes place in the nearby forest. Robotnik attempts to take advantage of the situation to activate his Death Egg Robot, but before he can, Tom arrives to tranquilize him. American Knight and Tails create a computer virus and send it for Spider-Man and Sonic through a flash-drive. After a fierce fight, Spider-Man and Sonic overpower EggRobo and implant the virus in his brain, causing him to take off into Earth's atmosphere and explode along with the tentacle harness, deactivating the robots and returning the roboticized humans to normal. As Robotnik is taken to jail, the Champions and Freedom Fighters free the animals and aliens, including the Chao, captured by Robotnik for experimentation while American Knight and Tails delete all possible files about Oscorp's technology from Robotnik's central computer. Later, as they attend to Hope's birthday party, the Champions and Freedom Fighters voice their good compliments over their successful team up and expect to do it again more often before Spider-Man and his friends leave back to their dimension. Back in the team's headquarters, Peter impresses Carlie and Max Modell by showing them the amazing details about Sonic's universe and overhears Mary Jane, Michelle, Kevin and Marcus discussing about their adventure and voicing pleasure to meet Sonic's friends again. Peter also comments he feels the same, and they will meet Sonic and the Freedom Fighters again... in due time.
