So, I Finally Watched Sonic Underground

[@hattoripool1533]

Fun fact: Ian Flynn was originally going to make a ending for Sonic Underground in one of the issues of Sonic Universe but sadly he couldn't. Sonic, Manic and Sonia would have had modern designs and presumably other characters too. Even though Ian Flynn never had the chance to make the story Archie Sonic’s fan continuation Archie Sonic Online would later make their own conclusion to the story that involves the trio getting Super forms and Robotnik getting robotizied

I think my favorite episode is the one where they go to that parallel reality where they're the evil dictators. It's a cliché, I know, but it was still cool seeing this "what if" scenario. It pretty much showed what would happen if the trio had all of the power they were born into, but their mom still wasn't around to guide them.

The biggest problem with Underground was the lack of a cohesive storyline due to it being aired and released on DVD out of order. About 10 years ago, I sat down and watched the series through about 3 times with a notebook and made note of key plot and character moments. Ended up with an episode order that makes the whole series make a lot more sense, and felt like the way the story was intended to be. For those who care, feel free to use this watch order and see how it feels to you: 001 - Beginnings 002 - Getting to Know You 003 - Harmony or Something 004 - Tangled Webs 005 - Three Hedgehogs and a Baby 006 - The Last Resort 007 - Artifact 008 - Wedding Bell Blues 009 - Come Out Wherever You Are 010 - The Price of Freedom 011 - Bartleby the Prisoner 012 - Who Do You Think You Are 013 - The Deepest Fear 014 - Sonic Tonic 015 - A Hedgehog's Home is Her Castle 016 - Bug! 017 - Winner Fakes All 018 - Friend or Foe 019 - Head Games 020 - When In Rome... 021 - The Jewel of The Crown 022 - The Pendant 023 - Six is a Crowd 024 - Mummy Dearest 025 - Hedgehog in The Iron Mask 026 - Dunes Day 027 - Flying Fortress 028 - No Hedgehog is an Island 029 - New Echidna in Town 030 - Healer 031 - Country Crisis 032 - Haircraft in Space 033 - To Catch a Queen 034 - Sonia's Choice 035 - The Big Melt 036 - Sleepers 037 - Mobodoon 038 - The Art of Destruction 039 - Underground Masquerade 040 - Virtual Danger This episode order also fixes the problem with Bartleby's lack of character development as well by showing him actually change from a Robotnick sympathiser to a proud member of the resistance, instead of making him look like a flip-flopping double agent

The premise of Sonic Underground was probably outdated by the time it aired. The idea of using musical instruments as weapons sounds like it came from a cartoon made in the 80s. Not something from 1999. It’s like someone at DiC found an idea for a possible new cartoon written years ago and decided to make it in an attempt to be “hip with the kids”. And Sonic’s inclusion looks like a last minute design choice. It’s like DiC feared that nobody would watch their cartoon and decided to put Sonic in it in an attempt to get some recognition. Jaleel White’s voice had gotten deeper. It’s almost to the point that he doesn’t work as Sonic anymore. The fan film that came out 14 years later solidified this. And on top of all that, the show would quickly be buried by the launch of the Dreamcast (which it was supposedly intended to promote) and Sonic Adventure. It’s still baffling that Sega would allow this rather than tell DiC to make a tie-in cartoon instead.

[@fernie-fernandez]

I think at time both Underground and Adventure started development at the same time, but Sonic Team and SEGA of both East & West were spiraling out of control due to national differences that plagued their egos and understanding. Peter Moore was trying to give the Japanese studio a reality check, but was bluffed by it.

I liked Sonic's development along with the weird town in the first one, it was almost atmospheric. Almost. As for the second one, I was obsessed with Manic so any episode focused on him was a win lmao

[@ya_boi_paypay26]

[@Shiny_Misty]

I'm a simple person. I see someone talk about Sonic Underground, I watch to see their opinion on Sleet and Dingo. (my favorite characters). As a huge Sleet and Dingo fan, it hurts that their...lack of character development. Expecially because there was inconsistencies with them. Some episodes had Dingo like Sonia, some didn't. The actual FIRST episode that aired, being Wedding Bell Blues, had no such hint to that whole plot point, so it makes that plot point so...confusing. Not only that, some episodes Sleet doesn't mind Dingo's presents. Other episodes, he hates the canine's guts and plots his demise! So even HE'S inconsistent in that sense. Back with the topic of Dingo and Sonia: While we can very VERY easily write off that Sleet and Dingo are adult coded...we don't know that for sure. Their age is never mentioned. Hell, technically, the triplets also don't have an age, but we'd assume it is 15. For all we know, Dingo is not even 18 yet. We don't even know if that form we see him in IS his actual form, being a Shapeshifter and all. But, yeah...most likely, Sleet and Dingo are adults and this plot point aged like already spoiled milk. Just another note: Bartleby is apparently 18, which is also red flagged because he was proposed to Sonia. So it isn't just Dingo. My favorite episode was Underground Masquerade, by the way. The duo's dynamic was really nice in that one, with Sleet ACTIVELY praising Dingo. So...the wolf doesn't HATE him...at least in that story's pocket.

[@CrazyGreenFluff]

i always assumed the trio is over 18, and i still think they are, so it baffles me when people think dingo crushing on sonia is weird

I actually have my own Metal Sonic concept for this show where Robotnik finds the same magic mineral that the amulets are made of and decides to create his own musical Hedgehog to battle them. The idea is basically metal Sonic's power source is his amulet and he has a DJ booth where he would have music battles against Sonic Sonia and Manic where he would play techno remixes of their songs.

Sonic Underground has to be the most bizarre Sonic cartoon I've ever seen, it's even more bizarre than the Sonic OVA movie (and that's saying something, given how much of a fever dream that movie was). Where to start with the reasons why Sonic Underground is so bizarre? * Sonic is now fucking royalty * No Tails * Sonic keeps his classic appearance even though his current green-eyed appearance was already made official before Sonic Underground came out One thing I genuinely like about Sonic Underground is that it features the first (and only) appearance of Knuckles in a Western Sonic cartoon.

As someone who recently finished watching this show, the first part of this review felt incredibly ostracizing to anyone who actually enjoyed it. But I liked the middle and towards the end when you started going into detail about the show’s production and praising the team for what they accomplished despite the restraints. To address the elephant in the room: Sonia was willingly engaged to Bartleby, another adult character, at the start of the show. So whatever age these anthropomorphic cartoon animals are supposed to be, in this universe, Sonia (and her brothers) are of age. And Dingo’s crush on Sonia was meant to be comedic. Sleet and Dingo I felt had a good dynamic. Sleet was conniving and tried to rob and even overthrow Robotnik at times. That to me made him interesting. Dingo was an idiot that sometimes got clumsy, but it serviced the comedy and plot. They also had some really funny lines I think. Sleet: “Listen. First we nab the hedgehogs and hide them. Then we tell Robotnik, and make him pay a lot of money!” Dingo: “Retire?” Sleet: “Yes, retire. You can spend the rest of your life, waiting on me hand and foot!” Dingo: “Oh, boy! Wow! Thanks!” I felt like Dingo was heavily influenced by Sleet and depended on him, which shaped his morals. Those experiments Sleet did on Dingo to transform him on the molecular level regularly probably didn’t help much either. But Dingo did show signs of being fed up with Robotnik, and even Sleet, like when he took the chaos emerald from Sleet in the hopes of ruling Mobius himself and making Sonia his Queen. I think if the series had continued he would have eventually switched sides for the sake of Sonia, probably towards the finale. Robotnik himself may not have been a threat to the hedgehogs (because plot armor) but he was to everyone they loved, Roboticizing their family and that of the freedom fighters whenever he got the chance. And his voice was good. He was no Long John Baldry, but he certainly still HATED THOSE HEDGEHOGS!!! XD But I digress. A small handful of other recurring characters, like Bartleby and Cyrus, got development, so at least the show wasn’t completely devoid of it. I liked the bright colors of the main characters set against the dystopian background. The music videos were a mess to look at but I consider them a time capsule of music videos during that period. The songs themselves were hit or miss and mainly just used to fill in a scene. But some of them were indeed catchy. My favorite episode would have to be “Six is a Crowd” where they went to the alternate universe where Robotnik was the good guy and they were the bad guys. Not only was the song really good but seeing the corrupted versions of Sonic, Manic, and Sonia was particularly fascinating. Overall, the show isn’t BAD. That’s the point I want to get across. I have seen far worse. It’s not a masterpiece, but if you are a Sonic fan and have seen some of the other shows and want more Sonic content, check this one out. The characters of Sonic, Manic and Sonia are the main focus and draw and I enjoyed learning about them. Like how Sonia is very smart and mature despite probably losing the most when she joined the resistance and left the aristocracy. And Manic being a thief with a little integrity, a wicked lock-pick and hacker, a very knowledgable car mechanic, a pro air surfer, and on top of that being incredibly chill (“That’s Bogus!” XD) to me makes him even cooler than Sonic. Anyway, check it out. I’d definitely recommend it.

[@naciabell7903]

Here is a fun fact about this series. It was born from the cacnelltion of Sonic Sat AM. Season 3 was planned and wokred out but Sega wanted a a more 'kid' version of Sonic that was far less mature or in depth. Underground was oriignally worked on by the creators of SAT AM and they treid their best and even wrote 1 episode. But just gave up as Sega kept screwing with them and denying them so much. They littearly had to reuse so many assets from SAT AM cause Sega wanted it out fast and to have a musical theme. But you can see the fragments of the team trying to make this work and tell an interesting story in it's set up. Premise and even how Robotnick is portayed as alot weaker and more depedant on others than his SAT AM self. They really treid to make something here, but it's sadly half baked at best cause they simply gave up due to Sega's refusal to work with them. And theend result was this. And Sega getting what they wanted in 'adventures of sonic the hedgehog' Which everyone agrees is kinda not that good outside of Robotnick's comedic abilties..

A couple of other things I've heard over the years: The reason the songs are at times intertwined with the story is cuz DiC wanted to get royalties and supposedly got paid every time a song played per episode. There were only 40 episodes (although fans believed there were more) cuz DiC anticipated a renewal but SEGA wasn't doing well financially at the time and thought it would be foolish to make another season of the show to promote Sonic when the show had nothing to do with it or Adventure 2. Another production issue I recall hearing was that the alumni writers you mentioned were tasked to make the premise/tone like SatAM, but the cattle call writers tried making it "funny" like AoStH. So just as you said, the episodes had to be Frankensteined together so they just used the same episode format. A few of the things they allegedly wanted to be reoccurring elements or give a payoff to but ended up just kinda being there and going nowhere were the Chaos Emeralds, (obviously) finding their mother, Manic becoming less of a kleptomaniac, Sonia becoming less snobby, Knuckles appearing more, a thieves guild mentioned in an episode helping along with some of their aristocrat friends helping in a sort of final battle, Sleet & Dingo would switch sides when they were deemed useless (again), their friends getting deroboticized and the Resistance's headquarters "Sanctuary" eventually being found out and attacked by Robotnik. Obviously I don't know how true any of these are, but some of these sound more believable to me now. Now I've gotta go meet a guy about a bridge he's selling.

Yet I have been playing Fall Guys, which became free-to-play in the summer, and it's a pretty good time, but I am enjoying MultiVersus, and I recommend it while the open beta is still going on. And a new show that recently came was Dead End: Paranormal Park, a massive hit, though I'd like to hear about anything interesting you came across...

[@lysander789]

Sonic Prime does look interesting, but I'm still awaiting a full trailer. For the recent Sonic games, Frontiers hasn't won me over yet. The IGN demo looked pre-Alpha and not very impressive. It's the Boost gameplay plastered on top of a BOTW test map. Maybe the full release will turn it around. For Sonic Origins, I have no interest in yet another Genesis re-release. The Tyson Hesse cutscenes are fantastic. But, I'd rather they spend the resources on Sonic Mania 2 or something completely new. Also, SEGA needs to hire more competent PC porting teams. They haven't learned their lesson from the PC disaster of Sonic Colors Ultimate. For summer games, I dabbled into Fall Guys. It's a fun time, especially for competitive minded folks. I have yet to play Multiversus, but the roster is super interest (ultra shaggy ftw). I'll have to try it on PC soon. For summer television, I've heard about Dead End. I'll watch that as I work on my next YT project. Two shows I used as B roll will be covered in the future (hint: one is set in middle school and another is about miracles ;) ).

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.

[@RokkTheRock]

when i was a kid we still had a store that let you rent movies, its been closed for awhile now but lasted longer than most, there was a free section for all childrens media, i cant tell how many times i rented out the exact same sonic underground dvd. the theme song makes me cry from nostalgia. im not even into sonic but this show is so close to my heart

[@zetafish7347]

Despite everything, Sonic Underground still has better hedgehog designs that most side things. Other media (such as the comics) would straight up have hedgehogs that were just sonic but purple or sonic but teal. Crazy how Sonic's own twins look less like him than some of these examples.

[@hoseinbmr3449]

Cant wait for the time your Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog review comes out So that the collection would be complete ( well until sonic prime comes out ) i appreciate what you do because there isnt enough retrospectives of sonic in other media just imagine sonic prime using the multiverse setting as an excuse for sonic to travel to the universes of these cartoons or at least reference them ( i know its almost impossible but a man can dream )

[@ericashearer224]

I completed the series many times I just enjoy the music but I'm bummed that it never got to tell the full story there was actually suppose to be sixty two episodes but only forty where aired

[@MenacingDuck]

I actually watched Sonic Underground as my first exposure to sonic the hedgehog back when I was 4. I was obsessed. Also, my favorite part was always the intro. Actually slaps dude.

[@katamattyon]

Got given a dvd of this show as a kid. I haven't played a Sonic game ever, even to this day. I was baffled that Manic doesn't appear in the games or any other media

[@Balisk_Teeth]

this show always stays at the back of my memory with no remembrance of expect for: it existed and Manic was my favourite character

[@Vivigreeny25]

When I was younger, the show was on Netflix for a short while, so I binged it all there, and it was… kind of my intro to Sonic? Like I’d known about it before hand, had watched some of Sonic X, but this was the first time I had really gotten so into it. Because of all that Sonic Underground has easily made its way into my heart. Also banger intro helps.

[@PuppyLove2468]

same, i watched it when i was a kid, and that was the only sonic thing i interacted with until getting into it for real like last year, and that was because of Underground nostalgia

[@jetanimations]

Knuckles’ episode was also my favorite

[@Ani8900]

Let's all be honest, we all had a crush on Sonia right? The only thing that was offputting about her was who voiced her… Until later on I think they changed your voice... yeah I definitely had a crush on her and loved her two brothers like a fan does. It would really be nice if they got Manic and Sonja in the games… At least to me. Wonder what their abilities would be since they are sonic's siblings.

[@Prince-Shogun]

Not me bud, my eyes was on queen aleena! Which unfortunately it seems she was a plot device for team sonic! Tara Strong voiced her as well!

[@Ani8900]

@@Prince-Shogun truth be told I had a crush on her too but mostly Sonia

[@Ani8900]

@@NES-ml3by dude, they never put Amy Rose in the cartoons before, so she's technically the first American made female hedgehog mobian on TV that they made other than the anime of course. And I know they won't put manic and Sonja in the games. I'm just saying to me that would be pretty sweet. And if it ever did happen, which I know it won't, I would love to know what their abilities would be.

[@Ani8900]

@@NES-ml3by it would be nice if they did change the back stories for manic and Sonia however I do like the fact that all three of them are considered royalty and rulers of Mobius if they can change that up a bit, it might work. Although some people have found a way to make it work in fanfiction called sonic X: heroes forever. Still, though what I was actually getting at is she along with her mother are the only female hedgehogs I've ever seen on the shows....😅and breezy, of course.

[@kimberlybogert7031]

I didn't grow up with this Sonic series but I have watch a little bit renctly on Tubi yeah it's mess but it's kinda a guilty pleasure in away😅I guess but I'll this the main theme song ngl it pretty catchy 😄💫🎤

[@DrRobotnikPingas]

I‘m from Germany and born in 1994. I always wondered why there wasn’t any new episodes. I really like the animation and the animation style. The animation has nice shading.

literally me a 3rd grader watching it on netflix way back now being a junior is high school is so nostaglic!! i remember watching this in the livingroom of our old house :((( aaah

[@_HanaPanda]

I grew up with Thai show, I used to get up at 6am every Saturday morning before my parents so I could use the TV to watch this show, I loved it so much. my mum even keeps a picture I drew of manic when I was 6. I watch it now I’m older and you can see it’s flaws but hell I’ll always love it, as it’s a big part of my childhood.

[@Fictionboy16]

Nice review on the show, and judging by it, the concept was one of those that looked good on paper, but probably should've stayed on paper (at least long enough before turning the idea into a reality). Also, it seems the "So I Finally Watched" phrase is going to be a trend with the video titles, and I look forward to the next review!

[@lysander789]

Yeah, Sonic UG needed more time in the oven. Also, the "So I Finally Watched" moniker is a really good for the YT algorithm. It'll stick around for a long time.

[@spiderzsonic6581]

It's basically my guilty pleasure XD Is bizarre, but i love it for that Form be sonia amd manic are very nice and work as sonic brothers My favorite episode are the knuckles trilogy

[@Boxoboi]

Sonic underground will forever be my favourite tv show.

[@ShadowXeldron]

I've only ever seen one episode of Sonic Underground, specifically the one with the wedding. It was... actually not that bad. I did mistake Delphius in the opening for some kind of firey pig, so I've taken to calling him Ganon from now on.

[@yeahboy6807]

I admit I haven’t seen this show. But, as a writer, I hate it when a story doesn’t get resolved.

[@ultravegito8351]

Yo this Is the first vid I’ve seen of yours. Very well done. Already subbed

[@AmateurAnimations65]

The second I heard all 3 of team sonic are played by Jaleel White, I couldn't help but imagine Urkel in the recording booth, using sock puppets of Sonic, Manic, and Sonia to act out their scenes while reading his lines. Aside from that, I personally like Underground quite a bit. I won't say it's a good show, looking at it now, at times this show seems to speedrun through the list of problems a cartoon shouldn't have. But I have quite a few nostalgic memories of the show since my timing was never quite good enough to catch Sat AM or Sonic X as a kid, but always managed to stumble into this. Personally, I hope this, or rather something like this, makes a return in the future, maybe a remake or a spinoff game or something. The series does seem to dabble in the idea of a Sonic multiverse, so an alternate timeline where Eggman conquered the world and Sonic and his siblings are the last and only line of defense against him sounds like it could be great if it were given more time and more competent writing

[@daviddyster4145]

My favorite Sonic Underground episode is The Jewel of the Crown.

[@ashvindoesstuff3006]

Any episode with knuckles is better then any episode without him not just because knuckles but most episodes with knuckles is way more plot related and just simply better.

[@UnluckySuperstition]

I don't remember much of this show, I did watch at least some of it on KZbin like a decade ago I think, I liked it quite a lot despite the jankiness. I think that's part of the charm in some way, for this show in particular, very much like a monster of the week show where the story isn't necessarily a long plot driven narrative over the entire series; but self contained adventures each episode. (At least that's what I felt, I don't remember any of the plot and again never watched all the episodes). I do enjoy the music in shows like this, it's not necessarily the best but it's fun and sticks in your head, and overall I find it a net positive and something to look forward too even if it's not great. Anyway, I do remember on episode where I think it was just sonic as the main character, but he was transported to a parallel time line where none of him or his siblings met each other and it was basically Sonic became an evil (and chubby) gluttonous king (or at least a royal family member of some capacity), and the Evil Sonic and real sonic basically tried to race each other and obviously the evil one couldn't keep up because he was an out of shape evil glutton. I don't remember how it resolved but it was a cool concept and I liked the darker plot.

[@zentevida1201]

Sonic Underground was the first form i saw of Sonic

[@fivenightsatthefreddys]

It really breaks my heart to watch shows and realize they don’t have endings. I got chills watching some episodes of Sonic Underground, other times I found myself laughing.

[@BinglesP]

7:25 I was here thinking you wouldn't mention Ed Edd n' Eddy outside the music chapter

[@stefcannon2580]

I was pretty attached to this show back when it was on, and would get up early to get the VCR ready to tape it around 6.30am. Though I didn’t watch many episodes despite that, my favourite was ‘Art of War’ with Robotnik’s ‘learning computer’ robot not that dissimilar from the Terminator in Terminator 2. Art also had a persistence in fighting Team Sonic that was kind of creepy and cool at the same time.

[@Julayla]

Honestly, Sonic Underground is basically one of my guilty pleasure shows. And I quite enjoyed Maurice LaMarche as Sleet as he was still more active during the time of the 90s, and I think Pinky & the Brain helped me like Maurice back then.

I like this show.
