* BondVillainStupidity: On more than one occasion, Robotnik has one or more of the triplets at his mercy, but decides to do something other than just roboticize them immediately.
** In "Sonia's Choice", he has Sonic and Manic unconscious and trapped in separate roboticizers, but instead of just pulling the lever, he gloats to Sonia about the situation and gives her a SadisticChoice of which sibling to save. He's seemingly hoping to capture Sonia when she arrives at either location, and thus roboticize all three at once, but instead he provides an opening for Sonia (with some help from the local resistance [[spoiler:[[BigDamnHeroes and Queen Aleena]]]]) to rescue both siblings. Having had a golden chance to eliminate two of the triplets in one fell swoop, Robotnik gambled for all three and ended up with none.
** In "Sleepers", Robotnik lures Sonic into a trap inside his castle, and the hedgehog is sent falling through a trapdoor into... a roboticizer? An acid vat? A SealedRoomInTheMiddleOfNowhere? Nope... a room with a single slow-firing vaporizer ray, and walls ''that aren't vaporizer-proof''. Sonic just dodges the ray a few times and the wall behind him disintegrates, allowing him to escape.

Sonic and his two siblings, Sonia and Manic, are left by Queen Aleena as {{Doorstop Bab|y}}ies to families, each of a different class. Eventually, they meet together when grown up, and guided by the Oracle of Delphius, they set out to thwart Robotnik, find their mother, and form the Council of Four to end his reign. Robotnik also banned all music, and our three protagonists were {{Musical Assassin}}s with ThePowerOfRock. Each episode's climax would generally be a song performed by the triplets, often with AnAesop based on the events of the episode. This series is also the first western ''Sonic'' cartoon to introduce Knuckles- though, surprisingly, Tails is a no show.

/* Sonic Underground */


Syndicated in the United States in the Fall of 1999, as part of the Creator/{{BKN}} children's block, with repeats continuing until the end of Summer 2000. BKN also syndicated and co-produced earlier [=DiC=] ''Sonic'' series ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', when it was known as Bohbot Entertainment (unlike ''Adventures'', however, Bohbot only distributed ''Underground''). Nationally, the show aired (along with other BKN programming) on Creator/KidsWB via Creator/TheWB[='=]s 100+ Station Group, airing only in markets that were too small for a WB or independent affiliate to operate.

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** The series received one in ''WesternAnimation/SpacePOP'', a girl-targeted show about royalty going underground as a rock band to search for their missing parents against a dictator with MechaMooks and a hired bounty hunter.
** Thanks to the reuse of Mobius, roboticizing, and other aesthetics, ''Underground'' itself was likely intended to be one to ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM''.

* CatchPhrase: Much of Sonic's catchphrases from ''Adventures'' and ''[=SatAM=]'' were carried over, along with a few new ones, such as "Bummer mejores!".

Added DiffLines:

** Sonic and Sonia are subversions of the trope because their roles and personalities are reversed. Sonic is blue but he’s the main character, and Sonia is the pink/red but serious and uptight one. Manic is the only one who plays the trope straight by being the green and laidback one.

* DisintegrationChamber: One episode has Robotnik dispense with his usual elaborate schemes and just drop Sonic through a trapdoor into one of these. Unfortunately, he didn't think to make the chamber walls disintegration-proof, so Sonic just dodges the beams until they destroy the wall behind him and allow him to escape.
