The rest of the two-and-a-half-minute preview sees Sonic and Tails facing seemingly insurmountable odds, amid harsh wintry landscapes, explosions galore and gigantic robots.
“We stick together, no matter what,” Sonic’s pal Tom (James Marsden) tells him at one point.

“You forgot one: unstoppable,” the hero replies, before they start throwing hands — at which point Sonic tells his opponent, “For a guy named Knuckles, you arereallybad at punching.”
