Added DiffLines:

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The main four are a consistent victim of this to each other depending on the season.
** Sonic tends to gain the ire of his friends due to his {{Jerkass}} tendencies and being unsympathetic to their needs. This is especially relevant in season 6 where they deliberately have a "[[Franchise/BreakingBad Jesse Pinkman]]" styled drug orgy party without Sonic's knowledge because of how fed up they were of him. When Sonic died, the gang collectively felt a ''weight being lift off their shoulders''.
** Starting in season 5, Tails becomes this due to the antics he had caused in the previous season and how he is often the wet blanket who tries to ruin everyone elses fun.
** Eggman was this from the start for being a fat, lecherous, and obnoxious weirdo. Only Jim seems to genuinely like him while Tails and ''especially'' Sonic constantly deride him.
** All throughout season 8, the gang keeps crapping all over Jim due to his percieved uslessness -- despite not doing anything to really incite this reputation.

* VitriolicBestBuds: They can't stand each other, but by Season 5, they can't even bear to not hang out with each other.

to:

* VitriolicBestBuds: They can't stand each other, but by Season 5, they can't even bear to not hang out with each other. "Back to Work" firmly establishes that they have hung out with each other so much that their original lives/jobs have become boring.


Added DiffLines:

* HumiliationConga: Sonic is prone to bad luck and humiliation, but season four has him at his lowest. What with being broke once again, jobless, having no supportive friends, and getting thrown into prison. All the while Tails smugly rubs in Sonic's face his newfound fame and fortune (along with mailing a ''bomb'' to him!). By the second half when things start [[HopeSpot looking up for Sonic]] with his new Hollywood movie, Tails changes the script to further mock, torture, and piss all over him.
** Even Sonic's revenge plot against Tails goes wrong and literally explodes on his face.


Added DiffLines:

* LaserGuidedKarma: While Sonic is put through quite the wringer in season four, it is pretty much deserved due to all the various crimes/murders he had committed and to how much of a jackass he was to Tails and his other friends.

* MoralityPet: To Sonic, as she's Sonic initially detested her at first, even attempting to get her ''killed'' in one of his jobs. But after she saved his life from a fight with [[VideoGame/MortalKombat Goro]], Sonic began to treat her better and eventually became one of the few characters he doesn't treat with outright derision.Sonic consistently treats nice.



* CommutingOnABus: By the fifth season onward, he typically makes one or two appearances per season often with large gaps between them.

to:

* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:In Season 7, Thunderhead gets turned into a zombie. When he reappears in Season 8, he's not anymore]]. Considering how great the hospital in their world is (being able to [[BackFromTheDead resurrect Sonic from his Pac-man ghost form]]) it is likely he just got revived.

The Team Cleanup: removing examples that need more context / don't fit the trope / FMB holdovers


* TheTeam: It takes a while for it to be established, the main "team" is formed in the Season 2 finale consisting of:
** TheLeader: Sonic, though rarely is he actually a ''good'' leader.
** TheLancer: Tails, who frequently acts as Sonic's right-hand man.
** TheSmartGuy: Eggman, who frequently creates the team's gadgets. Though he's more of a DitzyGenius than a straight-up smart guy .
** TheDragAlong: Earthworm Jim, who really doesn't want anything to do with these three.
** TheSixthRanger: Gilius and Kirby, their most frequently recurring allies.
** The TeamPet: Soniqua.
** Season 4 is unique in that the [[BreakingTheFellowship main team has disbanded]] what with Tails as the ArcVillain and the latter two still in VideoGame/Contra. Sonic still has Gilius and Soniqua who both serve as a brief partners for him and Kirby as tenuous MissionControl for him as his new Hollywood agent.
** Season 5 has the main team reformed, with a ''ton'' of people joining. Slippy is the [[TheDitz mentally retarded]] and [[TheLoad extremely useless]] guy. Peppy Hare, the NoRespectGuy whom almost no one listens to when it comes to missions. General Pepper, who must deal with their antics as he ''tries'' to [[MissionControl assign them new missions]]. Frank serves as a [[WeHardlyKnewYe hilariously brief]] SixthRanger of the group. Gilius, the EleventhHourRanger who spends the [[PutOnABus season absent]] and only appears in the last minutes of the season finale. Also [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Mother Brain]].
** Season 6 has most of the gang is separated due to Sonic's time travel antics. They reform by the second-half of the plot with Knuckles joins as an EleventhHourRanger.
** Season Seven has the main gang but with Eggman and Jim eventually [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere ditching Sonic and Tails]] near the end.
