Join us on a nostalgic journey as we dive into the forgotten history of Sonic Underground, a weird chapter of Sonic the Hedgehog's animated adventures!

In this video, we explore the origins, production, and impact of Sonic Underground, the lesser-known cartoon series that showcased Sonic and his siblings as they battled the forces of Dr. Robotnik.

Discover the unique concept behind the show, which introduced us to Sonic's long-lost siblings Sonia and Manic, and see how it was created to cash in on multiple fronts while paying the writers as little as possible.

From its humble beginnings to its ultimate fate, we uncover the untold stories of Sonic Underground. Join us as we revisit this beloved but often overlooked chapter in the Sonic franchise and pay tribute to the hedgehog heroes who rocked our screens. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, this in-depth exploration of Sonic Underground's history is not to be missed!

I loved Sonic Underground when I was a kid but have never forgiven them for not actually ending it.

Sonic Underground holds a weird but special place in my heart.

@Peppermint0M 3 years ago

This was the Sonic cartoon I was familiar with. One of many animated series that never had an actual Ending to the story. One of the stories that created my mistrust of animated narrative series which still lingers.

The "Yes, it is a world with chili dogs but, also stakes." line was such a good pun and the fact that Dan just never hangs on it and keeps going was just perfect writing/performing.

Out of all the Sonic cartoons I have seen so far. I consider Underground the oddest of the bunch.

🎶 They seek their mother, she knows they do!
Is it time? If she only knew!
Will the prophecy come true!??🎶

It’s goofy and sometimes ugly but I still love it!

I was such a fan of DIC as a child its so upsetting to hear how scummy the company was

Man, I have vague memories of this, but when you spell out the lore, it's clear the writers were given COMPLETE free reign to change/add to backstories as they wished. I want to see a battle to the death between the person who wrote the original Western Sonic The Hedgehog Bible and the Loremaster of Sonic Underground.

In the Archie Comics iteration of Sonic the Hedgehog, there was an ongoing storyline titled, “Mobius: 25 Years Later,” where the main characters were (as the title suggests) were down the road. In that storyline, Sonic and Sally had married and assumed the throne as king and queen, and had a pair of twins together. The twins were named Sonia and Manik, but they looked nothing like their Sonic Underground counterparts: Manik looked like his dad but with a gap in his teeth (and relished being a prince), while Sonia took more after her mother (and thensome).

Sonic underground was my daughter's show. She'd dvr them and watch them all day. So this show holds a spot in my heart.

Even though they were likely in different studios during recording... it's surreal Jaleel did a show with Garry Chalk, Sam Vincent and Brian Drummond.

I've watched Sonic Underground right after watching Sonic SatAM. It wasn't as good but still far from bad and it was a real bummer that it ended basically nowhere. In most episodes, Sonic just helped the citizens and Robotnik wasn't even aware of that. Only in like five or six last episodes Robotnik actually started to pay attention and actively fight against the rebellion - and then... there were just no more episodes.

@kerrygligorovic9758 3 years ago

I still wished that they haven't left Sonic Undergrond as a cliffhanger at the end of that series because we never got to see Sonic, Sonia and Manic reunited with their mother Queen Aleena as well as the prophecy fulfilled of defeating Robotnik once and for all.

Sonic Underground is gonna be revived by us!!

For me the timing couldn't have been worse to even attempt to see this show on broadcast. I did encounter the tie-in promotion at Denney's, but it was swept away by the oncoming tide that was the Sonic Adventure redesign. A redesign that not even Archie Sonic could avoid.

@MrGeekFreek 3 years ago

I long for my children but I have to wait. To act too soon could seal their fate.

@davillain9974 3 years ago

As someone who's been watching all the Sonic cartoons, I always wonder why there's never been this Sonic crossover with all the Sonic cartoons coming together for the first time like Turtles Forever & Teen Titans vs TTG style

@Powherkrangunch 1 year ago

I fully salute Sonic Underground. This show was a lot of fun! Short-lived for sure but it was still very memorable! This cartoon most definitely deserves more recognition. It was never as good as Satam but it was fun! I'm always glad to look back on it!
