Sound familiar?īut enough of the history lesson. Dr.Eggman (formerly Robotnik) won and had taken over the earth and a small band of resistance fighters led by Knuckles (Who’s brilliant idea was that?) fought back to end Eggman’s tyranny. For those who didn’t play Sonic Forces, the same basic premise applies.
When the Sonic comics were picked up by IDW comics, it continued off not from Archie with the Freedom Fighters, but a non-cannon continuation of the 2017 game “Sonic Forces”.

However, after many adventures in the Archie comics, the series met it’s inevitable end. Originally, Archie went the comical route with the book, but after the success of SATAM, they turned it into pretty much a continuation of the series, only now with game elements added in as well. From there, it continued on the in pages of Archie comics for nearly 25 years. Sally was a big part of Sega World.īut all good things must come to an end and the series only lasted two seasons. So popular that she was the third hero at the Sega amusement park “Sega World” in Australia, had a puppet musical show with her in it and she even got some of her own merchandise. For a while, Sally was HUGELY popular with fans. The only joy they seemed to have was in their comradery with each other and we loved seeing that relationship grow. This series gave us a ton of Sonally fans (fans who ship Sonic and Sally) and who can blame them? Seeing these characters struggle so hard to defeat this tyrant only to fail or achieve very small victories was heartbreaking. Sonic fans LOVED this show and for most, it’s still their favorite and why not? Sonic and Sally’s constant struggle to end the grotesque and evil Robotnik’s reign of terror made for delicious drama. “I like fish sticks! That’s the closest thing I have to a personality quirk!” The Freedom Fighters were added mainly due to Sonic having a small cast of characters at the time of production. Sally (co-lead character and Sonic’s love interest), Antione (love rival and comic relief), Bunnie (strongman and very encouraging) and Rotor (genius mechanic with the personality of wet toast). The only ones in his way were Sonic, Tails (who was barely used) and the Freedom Fighters. He had taken over and polluted the planet to near devastation. Now, I’m not going into what they did with “Adventures” because that’s not important. Since like many video game adaptations there was little to go on, DIC (along with Archie comics) made a ton of characters and world-building of their own. Even the planet they were having their adventures on had no name. Robotnik (Knuckles and Amy did premiere in games that year, but that was after the shows had been released). Now at this time, there was only two Sonic games and both took place in fantastical lands with only Sonic, Tails and Dr. Where Adventures was super goofy, “SATAM” was much darker and took a more serious tone. The other was “Sonic the Hedgehog” otherwise known as “SATAM” by fans because oit played on Saturday mornings. It took inspiration from cartoons such as Ren and Stimpy and Looney Tunes. It was a silly, goofy take on the video game franchise.
One was “The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog” that aired on weekday mornings. Then, in the fall of 1993, DIC came up with two wildly different adaptations of Sonic the Hedgehog that could not be more different in tone. “Will you give me my boots back already?!!” Some faithful to the source material, some not. There was all kinds of crazy cartoon adaptions of games. Somehow, that was enough for a few seasons and a Christmas special. How do you make a cartoon based on a series of games where the protagonist is a yellow ball that eats tiny, white dots in a maze while being chased by ghosts? If you’re Hanna Barbera, you rip off one of your own properties (The Flintstones) and make it about a family man who’s trust trying to get through his daily life while being chased by ghost-monsters who are trying to find the power-pellet forest because that’s the only thing they’re weak against. With very little to go on so the cartoon creators had to come up with some kind of plot that could play for 13 episodes on a Saturday morning. If there was one, it was VERY bare bones.
In the early days of video games you had a protagonist that you played as, an antagonist but no real story tying them together. Before you send me a ton of hate mail, let me explain.įirst, we gotta go back to the beginning of cartoon adaptions of video games.
