The main characters also appear in Sonic 2 (except Scratch, but he was inspired by Clucker, a Badnik from the game).
In this series, there are references to 4 Sonic games ( Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 2 (8-bit) and Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball) such as the zones of the games, Badniks, Chaos Emeralds, Ringsand the special stage. French Tickner as Professor Von Schlemmer, Doctor Warpnik. Michael Donovan as Wes Weasely, Momma Robotnik. Ian James Corlett as Coconuts, Wallace A. Phil Hayes as Scratch, Sergeant Doberman.

Some refrains are based on certain pieces of classical music, including "Flight of the Bumblebee" and Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King". The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog opening theme tune is an instrumental piece of music written by Clark Gassman. The letters page of issue #41 of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book promotes the special as "An X-Tremely Sonic Christmas", suggesting that it was originally intended to promote Sonic X-treme, a Sega Saturn game which was eventually canceled due to numerous problems in development the special's name was changed to match the game that didcome out, Sonic 3D Blast. DiC ceased production on this comical interpretation to spend more time on its darker interpretation, dubbed just Sonic the Hedgehog(commonly known as SatAM by fans), a series launched on ABC's Saturday morning line-up.PremiseĪfter the original airing, DiC created one more episode in the winter of 1996, " Sonic Christmas Blast", which has features from Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) such as Sally in a non-speaking cameo, and has Sonic and Tails visiting Robotropolis, which has a human population and a name pronounced with two "T"s.
The first episode was " Best Hedgehog" (actually episode 13 in production order, shown September 6) and the last was " Hero of the Year" (episode 60 in production order, shown December 3). The title of Sonic Says (Well known as Sonic Sez) Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was created by DiC Entertainment, which produced a total of 13 episodes for its first season, and was syndicated by Bohbot Entertainment, now BKN International. The plots often loosely follow the storyline of the video games series, although when the cartoon began, the Sonic games were still quite new, and lacking much plot or character development, which was filled in by the show's writers. The show features very few recurring characters, usually just Sonic, Tails, Robotnik and his two hench-bots Scratch and Grounder (with a third robot, Coconuts, appearing often) - however, there are many occasional minor characters and robots too. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is a fast-paced cartoon with much slapstick humor, akin to such shows as Animaniacs or Tiny Toons Adventures.
