![]() Until Netflix came along this year with Sonic Prime, Sonic Boom was the latest and greatest evolved TV look for our fleet-footed hero, racing across a pair of sprawling seasons with an updated CGI style that aligns, more or less, with what fans of the also-evolving video games had seen. Lighthearted, lore-faithful, and punctuated in every episode with a “Sonic Says” PSA segment to encourage young viewers to be their best, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog had the familiar and fun feel of even older Saturday morning serials - which in hindsight, makes it one of the franchise’s most nostalgic and accessible TV ‘toons. Adventures is totally the Sonic and Tails show, with a free-flowing episodic setup that was more about just sitting back and watching the dynamic duo do their daily thing than edging the plot along with ever-higher stakes over the course of the single-season series’ 65 total episodes. One of two more or less concurrently running Sonic series to feature Family Matters main man Jaleel White as the voice of the titular blue speedster, Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog is a total comfort-food vibe compared with the more story-focused Sonic The Hedgehog, the other White-voiced Sonic series that also arrived in 1993. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (1993–1996)Īdventures of Sonic The Hedgehog (1993–1996)ĭisney Channel/courtesy Everett Collection Even by Sonic standards, it’s offbeat and just a little bit weird - but that’s also what makes Sonic Underground an endearing fit within SEGA’s ever-expanding hedgehog media kingdom. ![]() Running for a single 40-episode season, Sonic Underground featured a story that strapped Sonic with a pair of siblings (Sonia and Manic), sent them on a search for their mother (Queen Aleena), and set Doctor Robotnik at the head of a wild alternate Sonic-verse tale laced with prophecy, politics, and mechanical baddies whose mission was to keep the Queen and her three offspring from rising to their foretold royal station. But the cool thing about Sonic Underground is the way it reimagined the basic moving parts of Sonic lore that had come before. This turn-of-the-millennium animated series was the third TV outing for SEGA’s blue mascot, and between that and the games, most fans already had plenty of preconceived ideas about the way Sonic’s story-verse was supposed to work.
