Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I ( Sonic Underground (Sonic le Rebelle in French) is a French/American animated television series. Sonic & Knuckles is a platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. Released on October 18, 1994, it is the fifth installment in. Tails, not realizing their evil purposes, joins the group. Sonic Underground bears little relation to the often complex Sonic universe (including previous animated series, as well as Soniccomics and games), and shares only three established characters. Ben Hurst, a notable writer from the Sonic the Hedgehog television show, whom was also involved in Sonic Underground's production, stated in a SAGE chat that only forty were produced. According to Hong Ying, the animation studio who animated Sonic Underground list forty episodes which is the complete series. Elements that are not included in Sonic Underground but were present in Sonic the Hedgehog include Snively, Power Rings, Knothole Village, and the Freedom Fighters. Though the Freedom Fighters were included, many of the characters in the Freedom Fighter group that were in Sonic the Hedgehog are completely left out (including Tails). Another difference with the Freedom Fighter group is that Freedom Fighters do not remain in one Knothole- like refuge but instead travel around Mobius to battle Robotnik's forces on a global scale; and that Robotnik has left most of the Mobian people de- roboticized, leaving multiple cities, a poor underclass and an aristocracy for the heroes to interact with. While both versions featured Swatbots as Robotnik's grunt troops, their designs differed by a mile and more. The Sat. AM Swatbots also all looked identical, while the Underground Swatbots had two different head designs. 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 forty songs spread over the series as featured music videos. Each of these songs were composed by Mike Piccirillo. As infants, the siblings were separated and placed in hiding to fulfill a prophecy made by the Oracle of Delphius (a spoof of the Oracle of Delphi of Ancient Greece) that the triplets would grow up to find their estranged mother, overthrow Robotnik and take their places once more as Mobius' rightful rulers. For Sonic, they contacted Di.
C Entertainment, who previously made both TV shows Sonic the Hedgehog and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, to make a new Sonic cartoon. Due to low popularity, Sonic Underground was canceled before it was finished, running for only one season, 1. Since then, the show can be found in syndication on a few channels. POP has aired all three Di. C produced Sonic animated series. CITV also transmitted the show. In October 2. 01. American channel This TV announced they would air the series alongside Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog as part of its Sunday morning line- up. Sonic has two sets of guardians, a couple who were captured by Robotnik and their house set ablaze and his Uncle Chuck. In this story, he has a brother and sister (to the right) and is known to be a prince. He is the lead singer, his medallion transforming into a laser- blasting electric guitar (which can act as a bass sometimes). As fast as the speed of sound, Sonic can easily outrun and outsmart Robotnik's forces. He is a big fan of chili dogs (just like in Sat. AM and Ao. STH) and is rarely far from a chili 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 a cruel, spoiled fat hedgehog from eating so many chili dogs and had banned music on the planet. Sonic makes extensive use of catchphrases in his dialogue, including: . Unlike Sonic and Manic, she was raised by an aristocratic foster family, and she hates getting dirty. She is great at gymnastics and karate. Her medallion can transform into a laser- blasting keyboard. Sonia has a pink motorbike to try and keep up with Sonic. Sonia develops an attraction towards Knuckles at the Flying Fortress saga of the series. Some fans consider Sonia to be a clone of Amy Rose, minus the attraction Amy feels for Sonic. In an alternate reality, Sonia and her brothers are rulers of Mobius, but she likes fashion and finery, not wanting to rule and having to deal with Mobius' problems. Manic became an expert thief and eventually met his siblings, who disapprove of him stealing. Manic is the drummer of Sonic Underground, his medallion hiding his drums, which can cause earthquakes. Manic is the most often captured of the siblings; he has been under mind control, becoming Robotnik's spy, nearly Roboticized (but was freed), put to sleep, and hypnotized (for a short while). 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 and he also made lots of taxes. In the Flying Fortress saga at the end, Manic's drum kit is destroyed by Dingo when he is a chaos monster. 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. She often appears during the episodes, usually to provide guidance or a helping hand, and provides the opening narration at the start of each episode. 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, probably due to the fact that the Chaos Emeralds weren't well established in the series and adding the Master Emerald would cause confusion. He has a crush on Sonia. He gives Knuckles advice. Robotnik lives in Robotropolis where he captures Freedom Fighters and roboticizes them into his robotic servants. Robotnik's main minions are Sleet and Dingo. Robotnik's round shape doesn't help him stand up straight and when standing on unstable ground, (such as that of Manic's drums causing earthquakes) he bounces about much like a ball. In an alternate reality, Robotnik is the leader of the Freedom Fighters and was rather nice and kind. In this series, they are very weak. In an alternate reality, the Swatbots are Freedom Fighters with Robotnik. They are also guards to the royal hedgehogs. This cunning wolf leads the bumbling Dingo about on missions to capture the hedgehogs. Sleet has a voice like that of Igor and has a morphing device that can transform Dingo into anything he wishes. Sleet may seem to be a serious villain but he is always failing at missions, only succeeding sometimes. Sleet is constantly being crushed by Dingo and is usually the one who suffers. He does however appear to get away from being Roboticized no matter how angry he makes Robotnik. Dingo is a huge, muscle- bound dingo who has a relentless crush on Sonia. Sleet has a morphing device which can morph Dingo into anything he chooses (e. In the Flying Fortress saga, Dingo breaks a Chaos Emerald which transforms him into an enormous out- of- control beast that threatens to destroy Mobius, but eventually reverts to normal (crushing Robotnik in the process). The Oracle prophesied that when Robotnik invaded Mobius, Aleena and her children would form the Council of Four to overthrow Robotnik and free Mobius. The Oracle lives in a cave somewhere in a cold region of Mobius, and is quite good at making chili dogs. Bartleby is Sonia's former fianc. Eventually, Bartleby flees from Robotnik and joins the Freedom Fighters. He is an old friend of Sonic. In his first appearance he was working as a spy for Robotnik but later quit. Cyrus has appeared several times afterwards. His father was roboticized. Only seen twice in the series. He is easily captured, but is just as easily freed. Only seen about once or twice. Notable members include Sonic, Sonia, Manic, Knuckles, Queen Aleena, The Oracle of Delphius, Cyrus, Trevor, Renez, and Bartleby. Robotnik's evil reign over Mobius. The leaders are Sonic and his siblings. Cyrus is the head technician, and Trevor is somewhat of an assistant. Other notable members are Knuckles, Queen Aleena and the Oracle. Below is a list of other one- time characters; many are Freedom Fighters. Like in the comics and the cartoon, he is roboticized. He was a clever thief who showed Manic the ropes, but he too was Roboticized. He was captured and roboticized. La. Tour: Father of Mindy, of whom he is very protective. He was forced to create robotic watches for Robotnik. After helping the Sonic Underground, he and his posse are given homes. He plays the drums like Manic. A parody of Moby Dick. His best friend, Sonia, momentarily loses her memory. He is Roboticized in the legs (like Bunnie Rabbot from Sat. AM). He has a crush on Sonia, but originally was a spy for Robotnik only to protect his home. Used by Robotnik in a race to capture Sonic. He has a pet owl called Hooter. He cannot stand loud noises and is very humorous. He tries to eat Sleet and Dingo but instead eats their hologram projector. He did not like how his father sold the island. He sells the island to Robotnik. He was destroyed afterward. He has actually been half- roboticized and hides his mechanical limbs. Like Sonic, he adores music. It is revealed it is a fake and it is made into a Roboticizer. Titus falls into it and is roboticized. She is worshiped by penguins. He betrayed Robotnik and joined Sonic Underground. Manic sells an orb to him before realizing it is a bomb, but by the time they get there, Vince has sold it to Bartleby. Vince ends up getting Roboticized by Sleet. David Cornelius of DVD Talk said . I fall more on the side of disappointment - for all the cleverness that went into crafting an all- new backstory, the episodes themselves are uninspired - but acknowledge the simple fact that it scores well with its target audience. However, the staff at Archie Comics have considered finishing the storyline. While the current writer of the Sonic comics, Ian Flynn, thinks that perhaps making a new Sonic Underground story that could wrap up where the original series left off is an interesting idea, that he feels he would be .
