Sonic Underground

Sonic Underground is an animated series that follows the adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and his siblings Sonia (his sister) and Manic (his brother). Sonia is a pink hedgehog, who wears a purple dress. Manic is a green hedgehog who is similar to Sonic in apperence beside the fact that he wears a red vest and his first two spines are replaced by spiky hair. It bared little continuity with the often convoluted Sonic universe - including previous animated series, and Sonic comics and games - and, apart from Sonic and Robotnik, few established characters. Despite having an original storyline & approach, it's considered by most to be the worst of the three American Sonic cartoons.

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 on UPN's weekday morning lineup.
