"Slowwww Going" is an above-average episode for the show.
Dr. Robotnik has invented a "Subatomic Slow-Go Beam Weapon", another gadget victim of the scientist's insatiable kick for elaborate names. Simply said, it's a weapon which slows down everything that comes in contact with its emitting beam. That includes people, animals, and even objects.
Irony of fate, Sonic and Tails are helping a family of sloths, whose treehouse has been badly damaged by an attack from Robotnik. Scratch and Grounder try different traps and they finally succeed in zapping Sonic, who becomes as slow as the sloths he's been helping.
With Sonic captured, it's up to Tails to play the hero with the help of the sloths. Fortunately (and luckily), the weapon malfunctions and the sloths are zapped. They suddendly become incredibly fast.
The story is well built by the writers Jack Hanrahan and Eleanor Burian-Mohr and included well-structured scenes, intelligent and funny quotes and an ingenious concept.
Actually, the good news pile up for this episode. Tails' role as an essential sidekick becomes more evident and we can see that he's able to help out his friend when comes the time to. The sloths, especially Rocket (an ironic name for such an animal), are nice supporting characters that we see only for this episode but who we might remember long after the episode is over.
I also appreciated the work of the sound crew for this episode. The slow motion voices and the fast motion voices are very convincing and often very funny.
The only weak spot I can find for this episode is the "Sonic Sez" segment. I can't really get the point from the writers. And if I can guess right, I would say that the lesson here is essentially useless.
Globally, this is an excellent and entertaining episode.moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
Dr. Robotnik's finally done it as he's invented a ray gun that's supposed to slow Sonic down for good! Sending the Dumbbots out to do his dirty work, a family of sloths comes under attack from Scratch and Grounder, who use them to lure Sonic into the path of the Doc's new Slow Motion Ray. Sonic is then captured, but saved by Tails when he reverses the effects of the ray and turns it on the sloths, turning them into a high speed fighting force, before turning it back on Sonic!moreless

ADD TRIVIA-
Shouldn't Tails be six years old? (Response: He's eight now, dude, eight.)

If Tails can only scribble, how could he write the letter in "Mama Robotnik's Birthday"?
-
On POP TV, "Slowwww Going" is listed as a different episode of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
-
If Tails can only scribble, then how can he write "Sonic Sez"?
-
There is a huge error in Sonic Sez. The fast animal (I forgot his name) is still extremely slow in Sonic Sez, but he couldn't have possibly became slow again because Robotnik's ray gun was destroyed. And, we don't see the animal saving Sonic from the quicksand during the time of "Slowwww Going," do we?
-
In the scene where Sonic winds up the Sonic Tornado containing Scratch, Grounder, and the inflatable schoolhouse, two of Sonic's quills disappear. Next scene, they're back.
