Editing Sonic the Hedgehog (section)

==Cartoons==
''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog:'' Basically a Looney Tunes style fast-paced gag-a-minute action comedy with Ren & Stimpy style surreal artwork. Smallest cast of any continuity, boiling it down to Sonic and Tails for the heroes, and Robotnik with his three bumbling robot minions/"sons" (Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts) for the bad guys. Infamous source of memes due to the "Youtube Poop" reworking of the series. It should be noted that this show, SatAM, and Underground all had Sonic voiced by Jaleel White, who played uber-nerd Steve Urkel on the 80's/90's Sitcom ''Family Matters''. 

''Sonic SatAM:'' Technically just called "Sonic the Hedgehog", this cartoon, based ''very'' loosely on the Archie comics, earned its moniker due to airing at the same time as AoStH above, but on Saturday mornings. In contrast to the light-hearted, goofy tone of its brother, this show was '''dark''', revolving around Sonic and a small band of Freedom Fighters conducting a desperate guerrilla campaign against Dr. Robotnik and his legions of Swatbots and Badniks, who has conquered the world with the aid of the Roboticizer: a horrible machine that can transmute any living creature into an obedient robotic slave. One that still retains its original consciousness, just locked away in a corner of its own mind, screaming as it watches its body do whatever Robotnik commands. Was cancelled due to insufficient ratings at the end of the second season.

'''Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie:'' An animated film that was assembled from the two episodes of a failed Sonic anime pilot. Set on a completely different world to Mobius, called "Planet Freedom", the plot is that Sonic is forced by Robotnik to venture to Robotnik's fortress in the sub-world of Planet Freedom to thwart "Metal Robotnik", an evil robot that kicked Robotnik out of his home and has now tampered with a hyper-powerful generator that is building up to a planet shattering explosion. It ultimately ends with Sonic clashing against Metal Sonic, an evil robot clone of himself. After a legal fuckup that's almost foreshadowing what would happen years later with Penders, Sega ended up losing the rights to ''everything'' that Studio Pierrot invented for the movie (and considering that this was back when the Sonic franchise was only five years old, with the original Genesis games being all they had to work with, that was quite a bit). This is why Knuckles isn't allowed to wear a hat to this very day.

''Sonic Underground:'' The first Sonic cartoon of the 2000s, presenting a slightly less grimdark version of SatAM; in this one, Sonic is one of three royal triplets prophesied to, at the right time, reunite with their mother the queen and bring about the downfall of Robotnik, who has overthrown their family and brutally reigns over Mobius. Until the time is right, the triplets play in an underground rock band to try and motivate the demoralized denizens of Mobius to rise up and join the resistance.

''Sonic X:'' The first Sonic cartoon of the 2010s, this anime started as an adaptation of Sega's 2000s Sonic games, but set on Earth and with an annoying human kid sidekick. Also debut of Sonic's Super Badass edgelord Arch Rival Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Boobs(Bat). 

''Sonic Boom:'' A slapstick, goofball comedy series, and the first to be CG-animated. While the game(s) it was based on were lackluster, many appreciated the clever jokes and gags in the show. It also didn’t shy away from poking fun at the sonic franchise itself, or the reputation of Sonic fans for being weirdos. 

''Sonic Prime:'' Now the newest TV series, this one running on Netflix. Sonic and the gang(now plus Rouge because apparently they didn't want Amy to be the only girl on the team) are battling Eggman when he tricks Sonic into shattering a crystal called the Paradox Prism. This also shatters Sonic's world into several alternate dimensions. Now Sonic has to figure out how to recover the pieces of the Prism and put his world back together, while dealing with alternate versions of his friends and enemies.
