Games - Sonic Underground


Sonic Underground is an animated series that follows the adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and his siblings, pink hedgehog Sonia and green-hued Manic. Sonic Underground bears little relation to the often convoluted Sonic universe (including previous animated series, as well as Sonic comics
and games), and shared few established characters. There were originally 65 episodes produced; of those, only 40 were released.

Jaleel White provided the voices for all three siblings. The main theme was composed by Robbie London and Mike Piccirillo. The musical underscore was composed by Jean-Michel Guirao and Mike Piccirillo. The series featured 40 songs spread over the series as featured music videos. Each of these songs were composed by Mike Piccirillo.

The three are the children of Queen Aleena Hedgehog. They are chased by Doctor Robotnik and his bumbling bounty hunter sidekicks Sleet and Dingo. The reason that he is chasing the three is because of a prophecy made by the Oracle of Delphius (a spoof of the Oracle of Delphi of Ancient Greece) - saying that the Queen's three children will one day find their mother and together destroy Robotnik's reign and become the rulers again.

The three siblings have powerful medallions that not only change into musical instruments but change into weapons when the triplets are in perfect harmony with each other. Sonic's medallion is an electric guitar/gun, Sonia's medallion is a keyboard/gun, and Manic's medallion is a drumset/Earth controller. The three use the amulets not only to fight Robotnik's forces but to also have instruments for their underground rock band Sonic Underground.

Program history

During the run up to the launch of the Sega Dreamcast
, Sega heavily advertised all their big products. For Sonic, they contacted DiC, who previously made both SatAM
and AoStH
, to make a new Sonic cartoon. Due to low popularity, Sonic Underground ran for only one season, 1998 to 1999. Since then, the show can now be found in syndacation.

Characters

  • Sonic the Hedgehog: The world's fastest hedgehog and leader of the Sonic Underground. He is the lead singer, his medallion transforming into a laser-blasting electric guitar. As fast as the speed of sound, Sonic can easily outrun and outsmart Robotnik's forces. He is a big fan of chilli dogs and is rarely far from a chilli dog stand. He is terrified of water as he cannot swim. In an alternate reality, Sonic and his siblings were the rulers of Mobius, but Sonic was an obese hedgehog from eating so many chilli dogs, and had banned music on the planet. Sonic's most used phrases in the series include "It's juice and jam time!" and "Let's do it to it!"
  • Sonia the Hedgehog
    : The female member of the Sonic Underground and Sonic's sister. Unlike Sonic and Manic, she was raised by an aristocratic foster family, and she hates getting dirty. Her medallion can transform into a laser-blasting keyboard. Sonia has a motorbike to go as fast as Sonic. Sonia gains a crush on Knuckles at the end of the series. Fans consider Sonia to be a clone for Amy Rose
    . In an alternate reality, Sonia and her brothers are rulers of Mobius, but she likes fashion.
  • Manic the Hedgehog
    : A cool and calculating hedgehog who was raised by thieves, unlike his siblings. Manic became an expert thief and eventually met his siblings, who disapprove of him stealing. Manic is the drummer of the Sonic Underground, his medallion hiding his drums, which can cause earthquakes. Manic is the most often captured of the siblings and was once put under mind control, becoming Robotnik's spy. In an alternate reality, Manic and his siblings are rulers of Mobius, but he took away everyone's money for his own greed and enjoyment. In the last episode, Manic's drum kit is destroyed by Dingo when he is a giant monster.
  • Queen Aleena Hedgehog: Sonic's, Sonia's and Manic's mother. She had to give them up in order for the prophecy to work. She now is on the run from her own children, until the time is right. Aleena has many allies, including the Oracle of Delphius and Knuckles.
  • Knuckles the Echidna
    : The guardian of the Master Emerald
    and Angel Island . He is very protective of his island home, and has set many traps about the island. He has a pet dinosaur called Chomps. His great-grandfather Athair warns him he must stay on the island, in order to play his part in the freedom of Mobius. In the series, the Master Emerald has been changed to a Chaos Emerald.
