In 1999, the Dreamcast was planning to be released in North America, so after a half a decade of now Sonic 'toons, Sega put DiC to the task. And yeah, a lot of flaws are evident, Sonic's design is outdated, probably because it's set in the same town as SatAm, which came out in '93, but still...
I never heard of this cartoon until 2002. Unlike the syndicated Adventures of Sonic and the cult favorite SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog.
Sonic Underground is at a whole different level. Instead of Sonic being a standard hero, he's a prince accompanied by 2 of his Siblings, who he hasn't seen since the day they were infants. One is Manic(a green male hedgehog who was raised as a thief) and the other is Sonia(a free roaming female hedgehog). Their mother(The Queen) had to separated them because of Robotnik taking over Mobius(which is similar to what he did in the previous series).
So the Queen left each of her kids a music medallion which has the power of sound waves and music. When all 3 of the Hedgehog siblings combine them, they become one unbeatable rock and roll team. That can wipe out Robonik's forces of robots.
Throughout the series, the hedgehog trio travels around Mobius in their own van, and try to search for their own mother. As mentioned that when they're reunited again, they'll be able to overthrown Robotnik for good.
Despite it being the weakest of the DiC Entertainment Sonic cartoons. The series does have great animation, character designs, and interesting stories. The down side, it's a disappointment to most Sonic Fans. And it's no where close to being as excellent as the SatAM one.
Since it was made and adapted from Europe, the whole story, theme, and look does look very European. And pretty much something the British would come up with if they were given a task in creating their own Sonic the Hedgehog.
I only seen 9 out of 40 episodes for this series. A few of them are average, but there are some good episodes that are worth watching. Giving Sonic Underground credit in enjoyment.
Overrall not highly recommended for those who liked SatAM Sonic, as very few elements from that series exist in this one. And song haters will avoid it at all costs. To be on the safe side, borrow it or download it to see for your own opinion on it.

I've seen a lot of episodes from this series and I love them!OK it may not have all the main characters that we love from SATam but it has new people.OK Sonia's voice is annoying but you get use to it and Manic's pretty cool as well and it has a darkish storyline with the whole mum having to give up her babies in order for them to defeat Robotnik and Robotnik doesn't seem all happy clappy annoying unable to do anything right OK he can't do much right but he seems pretty evil and not drawn to look stupid,like SATam,kinda scary and menacing. The Songs are pretty addictive after a while some may be annoying like Where's there's a will etc but the rest aren't that bad. All in All I love this series way way better then Sonic X but not as much as SATam
This show is great! The setting takes place in an apocalyptic future where Robotnik is the head of the oppressive government and Sonic and his siblings Manic and Sonia fight for freedom. They came up with some interesting show elements for this, like the alternate universes, other cultures, experiments, oracles, and people in danger. Sleet the wolf/dog was a cool character.
SU had excellent animation, but it did take place in a dingy city, so that might have lessened the impact. I liked the music-video songs that they sang; some were good. All the intrigue of the hedgehogs trying to find their mother the queen, Sonia getting mixed up in Robotnik's politics because of her friend Bartleby, the character humor, nice music and sound effects, and the variety of settings and plots makes this one of the best cartoons I've seen! This was my favorite show when it aired. I have seen pretty much all the episodes. However, it was a little repetitive sometimes with the constant escape from SWAT bots and Sonic's constant mentioning of chili dogs. Sonic Underground is much better than this new Sonic X series, which has slower, less interesting plots.

I love "Sonic the Hedgehog" and I watch it religiously. When I heard of "Sonic Underground" I was intrigued. After watching, I think it is worth watching but it is inferior. The animation is very well done, with creative character design and lovely backgrounds. I also liked the theme tune, it was catchy. Also RobotNik's henchman Sleet and Dingo are very entertaining, Sleet is the more entertaining of the two but there is something somewhat endearing about Dingo. The voice acting is good and well served with some decent writing, with Maurice LaMarche coming off best and Jaleel White spirited as the three hedgehogs Sonic, Sonia and Manic. However, Sonia while well voiced here does have an attitude that pisses you off, and I wasn't impressed with Gary Chalk as RobotNik, RobotNik looks the same but he isn't malevolent enough here. While most of the story lines are good, some are predictable, same with the songs they aren't bad but they could have been better timed. Overall, likable and worth watching, but not wholly satisfying. 7/10 Bethany Cox

- TriviaDespite working on it, Ben Hurst (writer of the Sonic le Hérisson (1993) and Sonic Underground series) considers it the worst work he has done on the character because originally for him it was always to do the third season of Sonic SatAM, which was previously canceled in 1995 and at some point. At the time of 1997 DIC company (the studio where the TV series for Sonic was made) announced Sonic Underground to which Ben Hurst quickly refused to participate in it because otherwise DIC would have turned it into the third season of Sonic SatAM but in the end he worked on it being the writer in some episodes to being the editor of the story, however he still couldn't make any changes or have his moments (as he did in Sonic SatAM) just write the story.
- GoofsIn the title sequence there is a number of clips with Queen Aleena Crying however one of these clips is played backwards; this is obvious as the tear goes UP her face.
