Announced on October 2, 2013, Sonic Boom is a CGI animated series in the popular Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise. Much like Sonic Underground, Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) and the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and other series by DiC Entertainment, its animation has been outsourced to a French animation studio, this time, the fledgling OuiDo! Productions (Later absorbed into Technicolor Creative Studios to become Technicolor Animation).Like the games, the show features a new world with new characters and redesigns of existing characters. Unlike the games, the show is a more comedic take on the franchise while still keeping its knack for high-speed action intact.Protecting a mysterious and exotic island and the village that inhabits it isn't an easy job, but there's one super-speedy resident hero up to the challenge: Sonic the Hedgehog. Backing him up are his friends— young and intelligent inventor fox Miles "Tails" Prower, the brawny but not-too-bright Knuckles the Echidna, compassionate and strong-willed Amy Rose (who can occasionally be a little bossy), and jungle survivalist Sticks the Badger, whose somewhat... off-kilter way of thinking makes her the wild card. Together, Team Sonic is always willing to head into action to defend everyone's way of life from the evil scientist Dr. Eggman, their sometimes-friendly arch-nemesis who's bent on taking over the village as the start of his plans for world domination (but he's far from the only villain Team Sonic has to deal with). Though not every adventure of theirs involves battling evil, each one the team goes on is packed with action and hilarity. And one thing's for sure — Sonic and friends are always ready for whatever journey comes next.Roger Craig Smith, Travis Willingham, Nika Futterman, and Mike Pollock reprise their in-game roles as Sonic, Knuckles, Sticks, and Dr. Eggman, while Tails is now voiced by Colleen Villard, and Amy appears for the first time in a Western Animation series within the Sonic franchise, also voiced by her in-game voice actress, Cindy Robinson. Production is handled by Sega and directly supervised by Sonic Team's very own Takashi Iizuka.The series debuted in the US on November 8th, 2014, and in the UK on June 1st, 2015. The first season was broadcasted on Cartoon Network in the US and France's Canal J and GULLI. The second season premiered on October 29th, 2016 in the US, after which, new episodes were broadcast on Boomerang, with Cartoon Network airing an encore the following week. The second season ended up being its last however as the series was cancelled after its run. note Partly due to CN not advertising or giving it a proper timeslot, but likewise the Sonic Boom games failing as well.Not to be confused with a Los Angeles fan event held as a Transatlantic Equivalent to the Summer of Sonic convention in the United Kingdom, or the North American main theme of Sonic CD, or any of the other numerous things related to the franchise with that name. There are quite a few.The Sonic Boom animated series is part of the spin-off franchise of the same name, a western branch of the main Sonic games, with the video games on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS serving as a prequel to the show. Initial impressions for the television series were fairly positive, a sharp contrast from the mixed-to-negative reception of the games, managing to keep the spin-off franchise afloat. Tropes for the games should be placed here.Not surprisingly, it also had a short-lived comic book series from Archie Comics, a company that has had plenty of experience with Sonic. Tropes for the comics go here, currently in a rough state that could use more tropes. | |

Sonic Boom / int_1420a9b8 | comment |
Scenery Censor: Though it's not used for naughty bits: in "Designated Heroes", Sticks takes her shoes off (which Eggman uses in a Rube Goldberg Device). From there on, her feet are covered up by foreground objects and the camera angle (and later scenes during the battle show her wearing them anyway, only to go back to being blocked by the environment again right before the end). The reason for this is most likely because Sticks' shoes are a part of her character model and can't be removed without making a new one. | |

Take Our Word for It: During "Mayor Knuckles", Knuckles approves mobile sidewalks which we hear several of the characters praise. We never actually see the sidewalks move, as the single time they do appear onscreen they're broken (which may have been done to avoid having to animate a conveyor belt). | |

A Taste of Defeat | |
Sonic Boom / int_1ee7d1e5 | comment |
A Taste of Defeat: Some comedic cases have occurred where the heroes lose in some way: At least two episodes have ended on a Humiliation Conga for Sonic, both cases due to being at odds with his teammates rather than Eggman. "Into The Wilderness", where he and Knuckles lose an expedition contest with Amy and Sticks, and the aptly named "Designated Heroes" where the others lock him in the same prison as Eggman for becoming too much of a Glory Hound. "Chez Amy" ended with Eggman sending his robots onto Amy's restaurant. Though the heroes deal with the robots, the restaurant is still destroyed, leaving Amy back to dealing with Meh Burger. In a less comedic example, the "Eggman: The Video Game" two-parter has Shadow beat the living crap out of Team Sonic because Eggman manipulated him into fighting them for his own needs; while his friends are taken down quite soundly, Sonic manages to hold up slightly better in his one-on-one duel with Shadow, but Shadow is still in better shape by the time he realizes Eggman played him and leaves to get payback, so it's quite clear this is a fight the team didn't— and perhaps couldn't— win. | |

Sonic Boom / int_2064626a | comment |
Villains Act, Heroes React: Discussed in "Two Good to be True". Alternate Knuckles plans to attack Eggman and steal the parts needed to send him back to his dimension, but Sonic prefers to play this trope straight, arguing, "We're not attackers". Alternate Knuckles attacks Eggman anyway and gets captured, then tries to accuse Sonic of being a hypocrite when he busts in to rescue him. Sonic points out that he's merely reacting to Knuckles' capture, thus still playing the trope straight. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
Sonic Boom / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: In "Double Doomsday", one scene has Tails briefly show off his newly-invented Reverse Polarizer. He and Sonic later use it to reverse the black hole created by the Doomsday Devices. In fact, the Doomsday Devices themselves count; Eggman shows one to Dave early on, and after Dave gets fed up of being treated like a janitor, he goes ahead and activates it. Eggman then activates his own one in revenge. "Cowbot": While Sonic, Tails, and Eggman are waiting for the titular robot to show up at Eggman's fortress, they decide to pass the time by playing a game Coconut Hurl, but Sonic can't quite pick up and toss Eggman, so they opt to throw Eggman out of a catapult. When Cowbot shows up the next morning and the defense system they built malfunctions from the marshmallow gunk stuck on their fingers from the night before, they use the catapult to launch Sonic at Cowbot so that he can short-circuit Cowbot with the marshmallow gunk. In "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies," at PuppyCon, Amy gets the Cuteness Hat from Zooey, with Zooey explaining that the Cuteness Hat makes a pup too cute to resist. Amy later uses it to defeat Eggman at Fuzzy Puppies after Amy is down to her bulldog, which allows Amy to take out each and every pup Eggman has. In "Give Bees a Chance," Amy uses a hoop so that Bea can catch it during a montage earlier in the episode. Later in the episode, Amy uses the hoop so that Sonic and company can tell which Bee Bot is Bea. Eggman's doomsday device reappears in "Inn Sanity", apparently having no involvement in the episode other than a setup for a fourth-wall-breaking joke, but in the episode's climax, the doomsday device is reactivated, destroying Eggman's lair. In "Eggman's Brother", there's a joke with Knuckles where a store owner claims Knuckles devoured his vegetables and Knuckles states he doesn't even eat vegetables. Immediately afterwards, another store owner says Knuckles ruined his storage of glue, to which Knuckles claims he doesn't even eat glue. It seems like a joke, but how does Steve capture Amy? He drops a bucket of glue on her, trapping her to the ground. In "Dude, Where's My Eggman", Orbot reboots a crashed Cubot by poking him in the eyes. At the end of "The Evil Dr Orbot", Cubot does this to Orbot to erase the evil study guide he downloaded. | |

Sonic Boom / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: "No Robots Allowed" and other episodes establish that the loosely-formed government of the archipelago could try to give Eggman more trouble than they do, but they're fine with his village-destroying plots as long as he doesn't specifically flout their rules. In a larger sense, episodes like "Next Top Villain" and "Counter Productive" show that villainy in itself isn't disapproved and is even seen as a legitimate career path, if not quite as glamorous as heroism, as long as proper procedure is followed. | |

Non-Indicative Name: The Burn-Bot (whose main feature is big painful claws). Lampshaded by Sonic who even proposes several better names for the thing. Subverted during the second encounter, in which Eggman took Sonic's advice and added flamethrowers to Burn-Bot. "The Sidekick" also features, in Sonic's words, the "inaccurately named" Mount Safety. | |

Sonic Boom / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Knuckles, at times. In "Eggman's Anti-Gravity Ray", he not only turns out to be a proud feminist, but accurately points out to Amy that drawing attention to women's achievements based solely on their gender undermines the goal of promoting social equality by celebrating the exception that proves the rule. After Knuckles says this, the others all look at Knuckles with Stunned Silence. | |

Sonic Boom / int_2e417275 | comment |
Guilt-Tripping: There's an episode named for this trope. In it, Sonic and Tails save Gogoba Village from the Weasel Bandits, but the Gogobas guilt trip them into staying as a reward for their heroism. Sonic eventually decides that in order to escape from the Gogobas, they have to use their own tactics against them, leading to a scene where he and the Gogoba Chief attempt to out-guilt each other. At the end of the episode, after beating Dr. Eggman's robots, Sonic and Tails use the Gogobas' guilt-tripping technique to get them to go with Eggman, knowing they will become his problem while also convincing Eggman that he is stealing their allies. | |

The core concept of the series' gameplay has been mocked at least twice. In "Let's Play Musical Friends", Tails describes a game where you run, roll, and collect rings as fast as possible. Cubot calls it a a terrible idea. Likewise, in "Mister Eggman", when the team is trying to keep a washer ring away from Eggman, Sonic says that catching rings is boring. | |

Eggman actually stops once he hears that and calls Sonic out on it. In "Tails' Crush", he flips out after Tails uses his friends' horrible advice to try and woo Zooey, and just tells him to be himself. | |

After a hellish road trip which includes having to deal with an escaped criminal and a cop who mistakes them for criminals, Team Sonic arrive at their destination only to find the stage empty, save for a janitor sweeping it. When Tails asks the janitor if they missed they concert, the janitor tells them that they're a whole month early. Sonic and Knuckles glare angrily at Tails, who nervously tells them that he must have been so excited, he didn't pay attention to the date. | |

Out of Focus: A very downplayed example, but it's still there.

Tails, Orbot, and Cubot have three. Eggman and Knuckles however dwarf all them combined, being tied at having the most episodes about them, at seven. | |

Lethal Joke Character: The bulldog becomes this when she's wearing the Cuteness Hat. Normally, the bulldog is instantly removed from the game for leaving mud tracks around the house, but when the hat is equipped, the bulldog becomes too cute to blame for the mess, and so another dog must be blamed instead. Amy uses this technique on the Fancy Poodle Eggman stole from the walrus boy, which leads to her victory. | |

No Fourth Wall: The fourth wall has been broken by every named character multiple times. Whether it's talking to the audience directly, admitting they're in a TV show, or that they're based on a video game, the show gleefully breaks the fourth wall quite often. Knuckles and Sticks are the most common offenders, with Knuckles breaking the fourth wall once every few episodes. | |

Foregone Conclusion: Due to Word of God enforcing Status Quo Is God, any new element introduced in an episode can be expected to either be removed by episode's end or fade into the background for good. Subverted to some degree, since many newly introduced characters have returned since their first appearance and several episodes have Call Backs to earlier ones. The gradual arc introducing and teaming up several side villains such as Dave and the Lightning Bolts is a key example. | |

Then we see pages coming off the calendar, only for Sonic to reveal it was Knuckles: In "Eggheads", when Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks are under the effects of the evil cookies that Dr. Eggman created, Eggman puts them through villain school. We get glimpses of his lessons, skipping around from 1 to 4 to 7, etc. Then we get to lesson 12. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Sonic Boom / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Yes, even a show about a blue speedy hedgehog fighting a fat scientist has moments of reality: "Aim Low": Unlike his main game counterpart, who is up and at the world domination thing again after a few months to recover, this Eggman eventually falls into depression because of never being able to win, as anyone would if they failed at their lifelong goal on a weekly basis. Likewise, depression isn't overcome quite as easily as media would make it seem. Eggman's failure to complete his therapy has him fall off the wagon and become even more depressed. It's only The Power of Hate that gets him to start fighting Sonic again. "I Can Sea Sonic's Fear From Here": The old "face your fear" episode where Sonic must deal with his fear of water to defeat Eggman. He sucks it up, tries a crash course to overcome it, ventures into the water and beats Eggman... and ends up even more terrified of water than ever before. While not impossible, overcoming a fear in just a few hours is extremely hard, and given that Sonic nearly drowned during the course of stopping Eggman, he has a damn good reason to be more afraid of the water. "Three Minutes Or Less": Sonic succeeds in foiling Eggman's plan to get a free meal and completes his shift as a delivery man for Meh Burger, so he's rewarded with a load of chili dogs. He eats them... and is shown in the end to suffer from indigestion, especially subversive considering his Big Eater depictions in other Sonic universes. Meh Burger abandoning their Three Minutes Or Less policy after Sonic quits also arguably counts as this, since Sonic's speed alone made the policy remotely practical. When Sonic goes on a stakeout with Vector in "Vector Detector", he complains that they've been there for hours. As Vector explains, real stakeouts can last hours without anything happening and aren't like on TV, where people say two lines and then the person they're waiting for shows up. Played for Laughs, as the guy shows up right after he says that. Several episodes deal with the fact that the heroes have been saving the world so routinely that the population has gotten pretty lethargic about it, even becoming a bit over-expectant about it, Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like or rarely even bothering to prevent danger themselves, much like many real life people take safety authorities for granted ("Just A Guy" being a defining case). The show also demonstrates that the heroes have to save outright Jerkass individuals at times as well, even in cases they show ingratitude or try to take advantage of them. In "If You Build it, They Will Race", Sonic and his friends are about to begin their own personal race, until Mayor Fink stops them and tells them that in order to race on a public road, the race must be an official event open to any and all racers that requires a special permit. They also learn that setting up such a public event is not a quick and easy process, as it takes eight months to get everything organized and funded. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
Sonic Boom / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: Parodied. In "Mr. Eggman", Eggman discovers that he forgot to take the last class needed for him to actually earn a PHD, which means he's technically not a doctor, evil or otherwise. Naturally, he rerolls in order to pass the last class he needs to officially earn his degree. Unfortunately, he quickly becomes the Professor Kingsford's favorite target to pick on. Even worse, Eggman's attempts to do well in the class are foiled either by the teacher, his fellow classmates, and Sonic and co. Finding out that the only way he could possibly pass is to make a perfect score on the final exam, Eggman sneaks into the teacher's office at night and steals the test answers so he can cheat. He does earn a perfect score, but Kingsford demonstrates that the answers on the answer sheet are most definately innane and not correct at all, loudly proclaiming that the only way Eggman could have gotten those specifically stupid answers was if he stolen the fake answer sheet he kept in the desk. And since this was a class on how to be evil, this means that Eggman, and only Eggman passed since the ideas was to cheat on the test. At the end of the episode, Kingsford is all too happy to give Eggman his PHD, once again making him Dr. Eggman. | |

Story Arc | |
Sonic Boom / int_42008602 | comment |
Story Arc: Most of the show's episodes are standalone from each other (though continuity is still established and certain plot points from previous episodes have a hand in the events of later episodes), but season 2 introduces the series' first story arc with a four-part adventure named "Robots from the Sky", which follows Team Sonic as they learn of the existence of a city in the clouds populated by robots and eventually deal with a robot uprising. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: From the second episode: Nominatus seems to be a completely digital entity that seeks to destroy all organic life, having deemed it illogical and messy. FiendBot is an inversion. In "FiendBot" he was created to destroy Sonic by Eggman but his AI was so advanced he realized that Sonic was a hero and underwent a Heel–Face Turn. | |

Sonic Boom / int_42c9f1ec | comment |
Regarding Amy's crush on Sonic, Sonic Boom heavily downplays it in comparison with the anime, but it's still obvious in episodes such as "Can An Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch for A Few Days?" and (especially) "Translate This!". Heck "The Evil Dr. Orbot" shows the two of them on a picnic alone, Eggman honestly thinks the two of them are on a date. Though season two has amped up the Ship Tease between Sonic and Amy compared to season one. | |

Balcony Wooing Scene: In one episode, after Sonic and Knuckles' advice on how to impress women fails to win him the heart of Zooey, Tails turns to Amy, who says he should be romantic and chivalrous. Tails dresses like the title character from The Phantom of the Opera, calls Zooey from her balcony and tries to recite some flowery poetry for her, but messes up his lines, and Zooey, who has become sick of Tails' odd behavior, shuts him out. | |

Characterization Marches On: Some of the directions of the cast have altered slightly. Amy for example was much more of a Genki Girl in early episodes, while in later episodes she tends to be more uptight and temperamental. Sonic in contrast seems less jaded than before, and a bit more childish and arrogant. | |

Downer Ending: Downplayed, but "Bro Down Showdown" ends with both Sonic and Knuckles losing the showdown, and Amy's couch being destroyed by a missile. It's played for laughs though, given that Sonic and Knuckles don't seem all that downhearted by the latter— heavily implying that they deliberately arranged for the missile to hit in order to cover up them spilling nacho cheese on the couch earlier. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Sonic Boom / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Early on, Knuckles was much more of a Cloud Cuckoolander with not uncommon moments of lucidity when he made practical observations pertaining to the current situation. His character quickly became almost exclusively The Ditz (his Sanity Ball returns occasionally however, eg. "Battle of the Boy Bands"). In contrast, Sticks, while still very much a paranoid Cloud Cuckoo Lander, seems more intelligent and unaggressive in later episodes, even managing to pull off a dry wit at times. Also, during the first few episodes, comedic moments and intense action sequences were more equally balanced. Later on, the fights with Eggman became more and more incidental. In the earliest episodes, Eggman was more similar to his mainstream counterpart in that he wanted Sonic eliminated and would fly into temper tantrums if things weren't going his way. Later, Eggman is more liable to troll Sonic, if he messes directly with him at all, and sees confronting the heroes as secondary to his larger goals of domination and theme-park construction (that is, Eggman more often attacks the town, not Sonic himself). Also, Eggman is now more likely to brush-off or even become depressed by his defeats. In the early episode "Translate This", Eggman uses his fake UT to break apart Sonic and his friends, and specifically gets Amy angry at Sonic. He avoids doing this in other episodes, trying to kill them both but not break them apart, and confirms in "Tails' Crush" that his bro-code trumps the enemy thing. Amy was much more of a Genki Girl and sometimes even a Cloud Cuckoo Lander in early episodes, and as liable to become as hyperactive and fun loving as the other heroes. Later on, she's more uptight and pompous, and tends to get irritated by the others a lot more often (if still very much Not So Above It All in how she vents it). For viewers who missed the early episodes the first time around and are used to Amy's later characterization, her introduction in the first episode is simply bizarre. She mistakes a job interview for a theater audition and starts juggling and singing. "My Fair Sticksy" is another strange episode for Amy's character. When the village is bombarded with a meteor shower, she wants to stand there and wish on the shooting stars. Later on she convinces Sonic to be Sticks' escort at a formal gala, a situation that would normally make her ridiculously jealous. In "Can An Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch For A Few Days?", Amy endorses inoffensive therapy between Sonic and Eggman such as using "I"-statements. By "Role Models" even she finds the method completely ridiculous. For a non-main character example: Soar the Eagle debuted as a life coach/self-help guru, but in all his subsequent appearances he was a reporter with a penchant for Kent Brockman News. As the voice actors grew into their roles, their dialogue became less stilted and much more dynamic. The animation similarly became far less stiff, with more attention to fluid movement and expressions. | |

10-Minute Retirement: In "Just a Guy", Sonic, fed up with being hated by the village for something as simple as calling Mike "just a guy" and the villagers "you people", in spite of all the times he's saved them from Eggman's evil schemes, decides to quit the hero business after an angry outburst about said issue towards Amy's sensitivity training group (which he also quits). Even when the villagers come to him to plead him to stop the Lightning Bolt Society's "rampage" upon learning of his retirement, he refuses to on the basis that the villain group is a bunch of total pushovers. It's only after he's noticed the stampeding flock of sheep they let loose, thus scaring the villagers, that the hedgehog is forced to put an end to his short-lived retirement in order to fix it. | |

Parodied in that Knuckles doesn't understand how the advert is supposed to help them even after the prize has been stated multiple times. Parodied again (and subverted) in "Into the Wilderness". Instead of training for their survivalist challenge, Sonic and Knuckles are eating at Meh Burger when a show comes on named "Survival Skills Made Easy". Knuckles wonders who'd want to watch a show like that, and changes the channel. | |

Due to Sonic's infallible altruism, the Gogobas will always get away with shaming or manipulating him into following their whims, and the villagers will suffer no harm, despite constantly acting like selfish, ungrateful Jerkasses.

"I Know What We Can Do" Cut | |

"I Know What We Can Do" Cut: In the episode "Cow Bot" while Sonic, Tails and Eggman are waiting for Cow Bot to (very slowly) get to the fortress, Sonic gives Coconut Hurl another shot, this time with Sonic trying to throw Eggman. Sadly, Eggman is too heavy. Later, Eggman says that he has an idea. The scene cuts to Sonic using a catapult to launch Eggman, and that causes Sonic to get a new record in Coconut Hurl. In the Episode "Battle of the Boy Bands"... Then Tails does it later in the same episode, and admits it's actually fun to do. In a different episode Amy does this with Sticks by suggesting a spot of tea. Sticks lampshades how weird it is to finish a sentence like that and Amy justifies it by suggesting an observer that only sees snippets of their activities which surprises Sticks, who asks if she can see them too with an Aside Glance. | |

Kangaroo Court: Sonic ends up in one in "Don't Judge Me", when Eggman sues him for pretend injuries. The whole thing is clearly a sham, right down to the judge being one of Eggman's robots, but Sonic is still very nearly convicted. | |

Big Eater | |
Sonic Boom / int_5fcedca | comment |
"Three Minutes Or Less": Sonic succeeds in foiling Eggman's plan to get a free meal and completes his shift as a delivery man for Meh Burger, so he's rewarded with a load of chili dogs. He eats them... and is shown in the end to suffer from indigestion, especially subversive considering his Big Eater depictions in other Sonic universes. Meh Burger abandoning their Three Minutes Or Less policy after Sonic quits also arguably counts as this, since Sonic's speed alone made the policy remotely practical. | |

Never the Selves Shall Meet | |
Sonic Boom / int_6369571f | comment |
Never the Selves Shall Meet: In "Two Good to be True", a Knuckles from an alternate universe enters the main one. Although he can interact with regular Knuckles just fine, as time passes, both of them start weakening and flickering in and out of existence. Both Tails and Eggman say they must return the other Knuckles to his own universe or else there will be a cataclysmic anomaly that will cause both universes to implode. Defied in "Where Have All The Sonics Gone?", as Morpho ensures that he sent Sonic to an alternate universe where he never existed in the first place in order to prevent the anomaly from occurring. In "Eggman: The Video Game Part 2: The End of the World", Shadow invokes this trope to purposefully destroy the entire universe, hiding Eggman and his Lord Eggman doppelganger together in a secret location. The latter two on their first encounter are perfectly aware of this and try to get out of each other's universe as soon as possible. | |

Family-Unfriendly Violence | |
Sonic Boom / int_647ce68 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Violence: Whenever Shadow shows up, the show goes from G to PG really fast. His fight with Sonic in the season 2 finale eventually just devolves from stylish martial arts into them falling to the ground and brutally wailing on each other, and just before that, he'd taken down the rest of Team Sonic in a particularly ruthless fashion. In fact, the show rubs in just how badly Shadow beat them up by showing Sonic's friends struggling to get up when Sonic himself arrives, then the team still aching from the beatdown in Tails' Workshop some time after the fight. Any injuries Team Sonic suffers in the show usually don't affect them much or last too long, so this illustrates just how dangerous Shadow is compared to the other villains. | |

"Aim Low": Unlike his main game counterpart, who is up and at the world domination thing again after a few months to recover, this Eggman eventually falls into depression because of never being able to win, as anyone would if they failed at their lifelong goal on a weekly basis. Likewise, depression isn't overcome quite as easily as media would make it seem. Eggman's failure to complete his therapy has him fall off the wagon and become even more depressed. It's only The Power of Hate that gets him to start fighting Sonic again. | |

Excuse Plot | |
Sonic Boom / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: There's no overarching plot to this show. It's about the shenanigans that Sonic, his friends and Eggman get into. Sometimes Eggman does evil plots, sometimes not, and even then they're hardly taken seriously (to the point it's just a routine thing for both sides). But anything about the world of the series, how the main characters came to be, or why they're doing what they're doing? Yeah, don't expect much. The show never answers these questions, very few plot elements stick around, and the island's a setting that the show takes place in and nothing more.note Apparently, this was because Sega wasn't happy with how the Sonic Boom game was going during development, and fully expected it to tank long after putting the series into production. When the show was being made, they pretty much told the staff to go for broke on the comedy. Any lore that was to go into the series was either too minimal to expand on or outright scrapped (mostly due to Sega's mandates, as even in an Alternate Universe spin off, they couldn't bring themselves to change too much of the formula). | |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul | |
Sonic Boom / int_72ce3f54 | comment |
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Throughout the Sonic series, the brotherly relationship between Sonic and Tails has been a near-constant element ever since Tails debuted in 1992. However, while still often the two closest characters in Boom, Tails is much more independent and the two seem to possess a lot of mutually exclusive hobbies, leading to relatively less character interaction between the two. On the other hand, Sonic and Knuckles's frat-boyesque friendship has been gaining more and more of a presence on the show, to the point that an entire episode was dedicated to it. In the mainstream franchise, Sonic and Knuckles rarely interact one-on-one, and their relationship is frosty at best and downright hostile at worst. Traditionally, Amy has stalked Sonic with the single-minded goal of coercing the hedgehog into marrying her, and Sonic has subsequently avoided her like the plague if possible. Although this element has been more downplayed in the mainstream franchise and the comics as of late, the relation between the two changed drastically with both the Sonic Boom games and TV show. Here, Sonic and Amy are mutually friends and both have deeper feelings of affection for each other that they sometimes let slip. Amy doesn't place Sonic on a pedestal and isn't afraid to call him out for being boorish or stupid, while Sonic is usually the first person to make an effort if he thinks he or someone else has hurt Amy in some way. Mainstream Eggman will seemingly only do something if it either furthers his goal of world domination or prevents some other party from conquering / destroying the world in some way. Here, Eggman will very occasionally forego personal gain for someone else's benefit. This is how he and Amy Rose ultimately form a friendship over Fuzzy Puppy Buddies. Then there's the whole relationship between Eggman and the protagonists. In other media, Eggman is a definite villain who has tried on numerous occasions to kill Sonic, and whose schemes rarely have a smaller focus than absolute and utter global domination, and when said ambitions are actually achieved, Eggman's rule is nothing short of a social and ecological disaster. On the TV show, at least, Eggman's stated goal is to take over a small village and raze it to build a theme park. Half the time, Eggman doesn't even really seem to be trying; It's not uncommon for him to only bring along his weakest and most easily-destroyed mook-bots into battle. As implied in numerous episodes, a major element in the conflict between Sonic's team and Eggman's forces is that they give each other something interesting to do on a daily basis (which could apply to other villainous groups originating in the show), due to Sonic's hyperactivity, his friends' want of an outlet for that hyperactivity, and Eggman implied to be a rich, bored old man who would quickly atrophy without something giving him focus. Outside of fighting, Eggman is seen running errands in the village and seems to be regarded as yet another citizen of it by most of its residents. Meanwhile, it's not uncommon for Sonic and Company to casually waltz into Eggman's lair for more-or-less peaceful purposes, and although Eggman might be annoyed by this, it's not really indicated that he makes any attempt to defend his island when this happens. | |

The Cuckoolander Was Right | |
Sonic Boom / int_75979171 | comment |
The Cuckoolander Was Right: Sticks's paranoid rambling about Eggman moving in as a front to build a robot to destroy them was dead on, even down to the name. Her theory about the luck balance of the universe being thrown out of whack, giving Knuckles constant bad luck, is also proven to be true when Sonic manipulates Knuckles into joining up with Eggman (temporarily) to save the day, with the echidna's bad luck overpowering the evil scientist's newfound good luck. In "Mayor Knuckles", Sticks is the first person in the village to express concern about Knuckles' behaviour as acting mayor, and insists that things will only get worse. She's absolutely right. After discovering that one of the trees in the orchard actually was a spy, Tails informs her "Your psychotic ramblings weren't entirely divorced from reality." The entire plot of "In the Midnight Hour" is basically this as Sticks tries to tell everyone that a robot named Dreamcaster is trying to hypnotize people while they sleep by using their televisions. When nobody believes her, she admits it's hard to be taken seriously when you're crazy (to herself). | |

Remember the New Guy?: Just like in Rise of Lyric, Shadow the Hedgehog and Metal Sonic are introduced with the characters already knowing who they are, even though the audience who isn't familiar with the characters will be confused. Doesn't help that, in Shadow's case, he seems to have no background at all. | |

She Is Not My Girlfriend: In "Bro-Down Showdown", when Eggman calls Amy as Sonic's girlfriend, Sonic denies it, but the game show indicates a wrong answer. Technically, the buzzer sounded because Sonic and Eggman's opinions were different, but the timing of it is still very suspect. | |

"Rashomon"-Style | |
Sonic Boom / int_7bb1296b | comment |
"Rashomon"-Style: "Fire in a Crowded Workshop" has Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, and Perci all giving different accounts of what happened when they came across Perci's broken bicycle. Accompanied by a whole ton of Flanderization on the part of each character about everyone when they tell the story, specifically by making themselves look amazing. Sonic sees Knuckles as an idiot and Amy as overbearing, jealous, and insecure (along with violent) while he is amazing and desired, Knuckles thinks Sonic is a wimpy idiot and Amy wants to be just like him while he is a dashing genius, and Amy sees Sonic and Knuckles as giggling boys who think Perci is pretty and act like dopes around girls other than Amy while she is a level-headed and selfless person. It's only Perci who gives the final account that seems to capture Sonic's ego, Knuckles' stupidity (and also ego), and Amy's jealousy. They even mess up Perci's personality repeatedly, Sonic remembering her as one of his giggling fangirls, Knuckles remembering her as being impressed with his Brain-Smartness and gift-wrapping, and Amy remembering her as faking the seriousness of her injuries for attention from Knuckles and Sonic. Eventually we hear Perci talk and we see she's nothing like any of the three. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In "Just a Guy", Sonic ends up being ostracized by the village for referring to Mike as "just a guy" and the villagers as "you people", in spite of all the times he's saved them from Eggman's evil schemes, and the fact they themselves had said that Mike was "just a guy" as well. After a passive-aggressive remark from Amy during her sensitivity training group, he finally snaps and tells everyone off, followed by him (as it turns out, temporarily) quitting the hero business: | |

Animation Bump: The pilot episode of the series has smooth, expressive animation (akin to the animation by Marza Animation Planet used in the games), detailed shading, and has Sonic actually run fast instead of running slow with a blur effect behind him. Needless to say, the rest of the episodes of season 1 look very different from the pilot. | |

Zig-zagged with Lady Walrus.

Her most villainous role is in "No Robots Allowed", when she is part of the snooty homeowner's association that tries to evict Eggman for owning robots. | |

Blinding Camera Flash | |
Sonic Boom / int_7ff52319 | comment |
Blinding Camera Flash: In "Next Top Villain", Dave takes a pic of himself to celebrate his presumed victory, only to blind himself and lose control of his stolen Octopus Bot long enough for Sonic to stop it. In the first season finale "It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog", after Shadow beats the tar out of Sonic and has him at his mercy, fanboy Eggman decides to take a premature "victory selfie" with him as celebration for finally defeating his archnemesis... and he forgets to turn the camera's flash off, blinding Shadow. Even worse, Sonic's down but not out, so he gets back up, runs over to Shadow, and knocks him away with a wicked right uppercut while he can't do anything to stop it, causing the dark hedgehog to abandon the fight because he can't take Sonic down properly with Eggman around. Whoops. | |

Alternate Universe | |

Alternate Universe: In-universe. Multiple alternate universes have either appeared or been mentioned. In "Two Good to be True", we see an alternate universe where Eggman wears green, Amy is head-over-heels for Knuckles, Dave the Intern is a supergenius, Sonic is a clumsy oaf, and Knuckles is the main, and most intelligent, person in the group. After an attack by Eggman that sends him into a new universe, he meets the cast of the show that the viewer sees (Sonic the narcissist, Knuckles the idiot, etc). In "Eggman's Brother", Steve Eggman is revealed to be a shape-shifting robot hailing from another dimension, which was blown up by it's native Eggman. In "Where Have All The Sonic's Gone?", Sonic is sent to a third alternate universe by Eggman and Steve, where Sonic never existed, Eggman rules the island with an iron fist with Tails as his lab assistant, Sticks is leading a rebellion against him, and Meh Burger uses real meat in their food.

Flaw Exploitation | |
Sonic Boom / int_8b3fe1cb | comment |
Flaw Exploitation: Despite their buffoonery, several of the villains are good at exploiting the heroes' defining foibles and personality defects. Eggman frequently uses their current predicaments to fool them in his schemes, for example, while T.W. Barker handily exploits Sonic's hubris and Amy's obsession with charity to achieve his ends in "Circus Of Plunders". In "The Meteor", Sonic (in Eggman's body) convinces Eggman (in Sonic's body) to switch back by threatening to cut off his moustache. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
Sonic Boom / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
Traditionally, Amy has stalked Sonic with the single-minded goal of coercing the hedgehog into marrying her, and Sonic has subsequently avoided her like the plague if possible. Although this element has been more downplayed in the mainstream franchise and the comics as of late, the relation between the two changed drastically with both the Sonic Boom games and TV show. Here, Sonic and Amy are mutually friends and both have deeper feelings of affection for each other that they sometimes let slip. Amy doesn't place Sonic on a pedestal and isn't afraid to call him out for being boorish or stupid, while Sonic is usually the first person to make an effort if he thinks he or someone else has hurt Amy in some way. | |

He shows up to do it again in "Two Good to Be True," but Sonic catches on and stops himself. | |

Zig-Zagged in "Eggman the Auteur". Eggman is trying his hand as a movie director and briefly convinces Sonic to act for him, but he's using the movie production as a ruse to illegally dig for rare minerals. But that story is a double-ruse in order to trick Sonic into providing some convincing takes for his movie. But that story was a triple-ruse to brainwash everyone in the village with a machine while they're watching it. But when he learns that he and his robots never got around to installing the brainwashing machine, he doesn't mind much. | |

Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Eggman actually says LOL out loud (while laughing) in "Let's Play Musical Friends". In "Tommy Thunder: Method Actor", the eponymous movie star arrives at Sonic's Shack and says "Knock, knock!" because the hedgehog doesn't have a door. Similarly, Sonic responds to Tommy's "elaborate gift" of a melon sculpture in the shape of his head with a deadpan "Slam." | |

Throughout the "Robots from the Sky" story arc, a good chunk of the characters, even Hypno-bot, agree that the name of the city Mighton and Bolts originate from, Morristown, is a bit of a weak name and suggest better names. This gag eventually pays off when they decide to change the name to "Roboken", which Team Sonic agrees is better, in the fourth and final part. | |

Trust-Building Blunder: In "It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog", Eggman decides the team of villains he's gathered to take down Team Sonic, Shadow included, needs trust-building exercises to work together effectively. The first exercise is the classic trust fall, which goes well for the villains falling back... except Eggman, who chose Shadow to catch him; the serious-minded hedgehog, in a clear sign that he refuses to stoop to their level and participate, doesn't even bother to unfold his arms, so Eggman lands hard on the floor. Nonetheless, Eggman brushes it off and moves on to the next exercise. | |

Absent Animal Companion: In the episode "Buster", after Sticks shakes a kitten out of a tree, Amy decides to get Sticks a pet to teach her the responsibilities of animal care. When Sonic takes Sticks to the pet store, Sticks finds every pet there too cute, fuzzy, and adorable for her tastes. She then finds a disgusting robot dog that spits slime in a trash can and names him "Buster". Buster quickly annoys Sticks' friends, and it is later revealed that Buster was created by Dr. Eggman. When Buster transforms into a monster and attacks Sticks' friends, Sticks disciplines him to get him back to his normal self. At the end of the episode, Sticks lets Buster go, having found out he's an evil robot unfit to keep as a pet. Buster has not been seen or referenced since. Similarly, Amy's pet Bee Bot Bea hasn't appeared since "Give Bees a Chance", despite said episode ending with Bea living with Amy. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Sonic Boom / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: At one point in "Cowbot", Eggman references Dave the Intern from "Double Doomsday", averting the Negative Continuity in the rest of the series. It helps that Dave becomes a Recurring Extra and shows up more and more as the series goes on. During the training in "Unlucky Knuckles", Orbot and Cubot wear their masks of Sonic and Tails from "Buster". "Just A Guy" features several, such as the Walrus lady referencing her baby being in danger from "Blue With Envy" when it happens again, and the Lightning Bolt Society referencing the events of "Eggman Unplugged". There are a few references to the Sonic Boom video games here and there. In particular, Sticks is nominated◊ for an Awardy Award in one episode, while in another, Sonic reads◊ his autobiography.◊ Also, the tone of voice Knuckles took when calling out Sonic in "Just a Guy" is the same one he took when Sonic got the group locked up in Lyric's Tomb. Eggman, pretending to be Sonic, mangles Knuckles' name as a Running Gag in "The Meteor". He continues to mangle it sometimes as himself in later episodes. Dave gives Sonic a Mehburger with extra pickles when he ordered no pickles. In later episodes, he keeps doing this. In the season 2 episode "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Worse-er", Tails mentions while carrying barrels that he's doing it for Zooey as a favor; this implies the two have continued to see each other after the end of the season 1 episode "Tails' Crush", where Tails managed to win Zooey over with his heroics. "Og Man Out" begins with Eggman digging for an Ancient mech suit to call his own, complaining that despite them being scattered around the island, he can't find one; he's no doubt referring to Charlie and Sonic each finding one in "Counter Productive" and "Mech Suits Me", respectively. In "Blackout", Tails is chronicling Team Sonic's journey to find the power crystal in the form of love letters to Zooey, implying they are still together after "Tails' Crush". After Sonic causes the snow around the ruins to collapse on him, Tails complains that he has to start writing his letter all over again, then continues to write while buried in snow. Back in "Mayor Knuckles", Eggman expressed his annoyance that the garbage man hadn't picked up his garbage. In "Unnamed Episode", having tricked the villagers into voting him as supreme ruler, Eggman takes his revenge by forcing the garbage man to take it out in an orderly manner. In "Robots from the Sky" Part 1, upon being asked what the name of their city is, Knuckles answers that it was Unnamed Village until recently, and now it's called Hedgehog Village; this happened at the end of "Unnamed Episode", when Sticks renamed the Village after Amy for sticking by her throughout the episode. During Sonic and Eggman's Mech Suit fight near the end of "Return of the Buddy Buddy Temple of Doom", a boulder with an impression of Eggman can be seen in the background. This is a nod to "Mech Suits Me", in which Sonic's Mech Suit slammed Eggman into the aforementioned boulder, leaving the impression. In "Lair on Lockdown", Knuckles and Eggman end up in a storage room of the latter's lair containing his failed inventions. In particular, the doctor finds one of his robotic sauce cans he created to take over the village's electronics in "Dr. Eggman's Tomato Sauce", as well as the head of one of his Swifty robots he used to get Sonic banished from the village in "Blue with Envy". | |

Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Lampshaded; pants, or the lack thereof, are almost becoming a Running Gag. When Sonic escorts Sticks to a dance in "My Fair Sticksy", he adamantly refuses to wear pants. Dr. Eggman has to point out in "Double Doomsday" that Dave isn't wearing pants, yet still has pockets. And when Amy suggests the loser has to do the winner's laundry for a month in "Into the Wilderness", Sonic complains it's unfair because he and Knuckles don't wear pants. | |

Cloning Splits Attributes: The episode "Multi-Tails" sees Tails, upset over a failure in battle, decide to clone himself and form a brain trust to create superior inventions. Unfortunately a flaw in the machine used causes the five duplicates to each receive only a fifth of Tails's original intellect, leading such bright ideas as seeing what a wall tastes like, attempting to fly while spinning his legs, and enjoying a Mehburger. Tails's friends naturally try to help, while keeping his clones from hurting themselves, but accidentally end up with twenty-five doppelgangers. Fortunately Eggman decides to intervene so he doesn't start waking up to a lair full of nitwit foxes destroying everything. | |

Circus Episode: In "Circus of Plunders", after a fall-out with Tails from one of his inventions, Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks get jobs at T.W. Barker's Circus of Wonders, as most of his performers were reportedly sick from eating bad sushi. Sonic is given the job of running in the "Sphere of Fear" at unparalleled speeds, Knuckles becomes a Human Cannonball, Sticks becomes an acrobat, and Amy becomes a Sad Clown (much to her dismay). It is later revealed that Barker is an extremely cunning Con Man with two bears dressed as clowns as well as some robots he ordered from Dr. Eggman as Mooks, and that his other performers actually ran away from the circus. Thus, when he holds Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks hostage, it's up to Tails to rescue them. | |

At the end of the episode, Sticks decides they should rename it "Hedgehog Village"— no, not after Sonic, but Amy. The name has stuck since. | |

Karma Houdini: almost too many to count. Willy Walrus in "Dude, Where's My Eggman?", assisting Eggman to break into a helium factory and is later accidentally busted out of jail by Orbot and Cubot. Said raid is also one of the few crimes Eggman suffered repercussions from (if an admittedly petty one). Eggman actually gets away with a lot of stuff. In most episodes, he pulls an evil plan, and then just goes home without a scratch on him after he fails. Some examples include “The Sidekick�, “Translate This�, “Chez Amy�, and “It Wasn’t Me, It Was The One-Armed Hedgehog�. Knuckles constantly insults Sonic and acts like an egomaniac, telling fake stories that make him look like a great hero while Sonic is a wimpy coward, and no one ever even argues with him. Knuckles suffers no repercussions for abusing his power after Mayor Fink returns to his position in "Mayor Knuckles". Amy often bosses her friends around and insults them (mostly Sonic) and no one ever stands up to her. Due to Sonic's infallible altruism, the Gogobas will always get away with shaming or manipulating him into following their whims, and the villagers will suffer no harm, despite constantly acting like selfish, ungrateful Jerkasses. The Gogoba chief at least gets a small Karma Houdini Warranty when Sonic is too distracted to help him in "Eggman Unplugged", while the villagers get one in “Mech Suits Me� when Sonic bullies them after his new mech suit turns him evil. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
Sonic Boom / int_acf33d00 | comment |
In the first season finale "It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog", after Shadow beats the tar out of Sonic and has him at his mercy, fanboy Eggman decides to take a premature "victory selfie" with him as celebration for finally defeating his archnemesis... and he forgets to turn the camera's flash off, blinding Shadow. Even worse, Sonic's down but not out, so he gets back up, runs over to Shadow, and knocks him away with a wicked right uppercut while he can't do anything to stop it, causing the dark hedgehog to abandon the fight because he can't take Sonic down properly with Eggman around. Whoops. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
Sonic Boom / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: When Sonic fires Tails in "The Sidekick", he holds sidekick auditions, putting down on the poster the words "all qualified candidates welcome". Not only does this allow Tails to try to get his job back, but Dr. Eggman also uses the loophole to audition in an attempt to defeat Sonic. In "Mayor Knuckles", when Eggman threatens Knuckles with his wrist laser, Knuckles responds by passing a law making it illegal to use your finger to activate a weapon. Eggman instead uses his elbow to activate the laser, but can't aim properly while doing so, and ends up shooting himself in the foot. | |

Genki Girl | |
Sonic Boom / int_b2f26025 | comment |
Amy was much more of a Genki Girl and sometimes even a Cloud Cuckoo Lander in early episodes, and as liable to become as hyperactive and fun loving as the other heroes. Later on, she's more uptight and pompous, and tends to get irritated by the others a lot more often (if still very much Not So Above It All in how she vents it). For viewers who missed the early episodes the first time around and are used to Amy's later characterization, her introduction in the first episode is simply bizarre. She mistakes a job interview for a theater audition and starts juggling and singing. "My Fair Sticksy" is another strange episode for Amy's character. When the village is bombarded with a meteor shower, she wants to stand there and wish on the shooting stars. Later on she convinces Sonic to be Sticks' escort at a formal gala, a situation that would normally make her ridiculously jealous. In "Can An Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch For A Few Days?", Amy endorses inoffensive therapy between Sonic and Eggman such as using "I"-statements. By "Role Models" even she finds the method completely ridiculous. | |

In "Translate This", Tails goes to rescue his UT (Universal Translator) robot from Dr. Eggman. He goes alone because the team dislike the UT robot so much. Tails pretended to join Dr. Eggman and sent a distress message to the team. After battling Dr. Eggman, Tails and the UT robot are set free. All this is rendered moot when the UT robot made another annoying comment, prompting Sticks to throw the UT robot in the sea. | |

Take That! | |
Sonic Boom / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Many examples: Swifty of "Blue With Envy" acts like a less than subtle parody of the Totally Radical interpretations of Sonic used in the nineties. Amusingly, the Sonic of this universe finds him unbearable. Meh Burger seems to be a parallel to quite a lot of fast-food restaurants: namely McDonald's. In "Battle of the Boy Bands" the concept and appeal of boy bands is amusingly torn apart and criticized, not to mention the fact that the star, Justin Beaver, is totally not Justin Bieber, a singer who is constantly mocked for various reasons. "Next Top Villain" takes some shots at printers and their overpriced ink cartridges by way of Octopus-Bot's ink attacks, which have the same problem. An in-universe example. When Sonic is recalling what happened during "Fire in a Crowded Workshop", he says Amy said this: "The Biggest Fan" take some shots at obsessive annoying fans of the Sonic franchise. At one point (also in "The Biggest Fan") Mark the Tapir mentions not being a fan of SonAmy, which could be taken as Take That, Audience! to the parts of the Sonic fanbase with other preferences regarding shipping. "Role Models" is a HUGE fuck-you to the idea of being a role-model. The discussion about Tomatopotamus in "FiendBot" is one to the Sonic fanbase, including Tomatopotamus 2 being the best in the series, Tomatopotamus never working in 3D, and Sonic saying they should never have changed the colour of Tomatopotamus's legs (a reference to the fan complaints about Sonic's arms changing colour). "Chain Letter" pretty much satires social media, such as Eggman repeatedly sending messages to Sonic, a jab at The Internet Is for Cats, and a scene of almost everyone looking down at their cell phones. "Lair on Lockdown" has Eggman considering his new plan as the pure essence of evil: Starting an online ticket retail service. Cure Team Sonic barging in griping about several extra costs from their recent purchase. | |

Trauma-Induced Amnesia: Played for Laughs in Episode 2 when Eggman apparently hits poor Tails on the head so hard he has a short-term variance, and ends up accidentally repeating his own lampshading. Knuckles winds up suffering from this at the beginning of "Knuck Knuck! Who's Here?" as a result of being launched head-first into a rock during a fight with Eggman, knocking him out and forcing the still-conscious members of Team Sonic to wrap up the fight quickly. When Knuckles wakes up, he remembers nothing and has to be reminded of who he is, his home of Angel Island, and the fact he's the Last of His Kind, the last of which sets up the episode's plot of him attempting to find a foster family. | |

Political Overcorrectness: D.B. Platapus endorses this in "Role Models", forcing the heroes to take on extremely mannerly and inoffensive behaviour to set a good example for the rest of the town. Some examples include not allowing Amy to cook because of gender stereotypes, despite her enjoying cooking as well as being the only one on the team who can cook; and forcing them to confront Eggman by "using their words". | |

Negative Continuity: It's been said by the show runners that each episode will always start fresh with no attachment to the previous one. However, the show plays closer to having a loose continuity than none at all: Burn Bot (from The Sidekick) and the Mega (from Unlucky Knuckles) reappear in The Meteor. Burn Bot also appears in Don't Judge Me under the guise of Judge Bot. Several side antagonists such as Dave have returned and even had their first appearance referred to in a later episode. | |

Kids' Meal Toy: invoked Meh Burger has the Meh Meal. In "Knuck! Knuck! Who's Here?" and "Mombot", one of the toys sold in it is an action figure of Meh Burger's Councilman McMeh mascot. At times, the toys are extremely unsafe. A good example of this is in "Tommy Thunder: Method Actor", when Meh Burger has a tie-in with Tommy's latest movie, Dave the Intern advertises the Meh Meal toys as being "Guaranteed to have 12% fewer jagged edges". He then cuts his fingers on one, which appears to be a metal Nerf football with Tommy's face on it. | |

Who's Here?", after Knuckles tried to find himself a family due to being the last of his kind, Amy tells him that she and the others are his family. Cue Group Hug. | |

Mini-Mecha | |
Sonic Boom / int_c72af5a8 | comment |
Mini-Mecha: Mech suits, built by the Ancients, are mechs several times larger than most of the cast that grant improved strength and durability to those using them, with large cockpits that clearly show their pilots. Several of these suits are scattered around the island, but only three have been shown prominently in the series (and one of them isn't even made by the Ancients): Charlie's Mech Suit, which he dug up and reassembled in "Counter Productive" and continues to use in his future appearances in the series, is able to immobilize opponents in energy fields and fire concussive energy blasts; however, its hamstrings are fairly vulnerable to damage. Sonic's Mech Suit, which he and the team found intact in a cave in "Mech Suits Me" and has a striking resemblance to the hedgehog himself, is a little more fully-featured, with foot-mounted wheels for improved ground mobility, flight capabilities, an impenetrable full-body shield, and wrist-mounted laser blasters that can be charged up for a stronger blast. But there are downsides to its use— not only does charging the lasers draw power away from the shield, but the suit contains a symbiont chip that allows it to slowly take over the pilot, making them more aggressive and less prone to their usual inhibitions. Or at least, it used to until it was removed and destroyed. Sonic would rather use his own two feet, but he still keeps the Suit around for a rainy day. Eggman, after failing to find a Mech Suit himself, decided to just build his own in "Return of the Buddy Buddy Temple of Doom". A second iteration of his MeBot from the Sonic Boom comics, according to Word of God, the mech suit is able to fly, fire chest-mounted lasers, utilize a wrist-mounted tractor beam to pull opponents in close, launch missiles from its shoulders, send out shurikens from its ankles, deflect projectiles with its shield, and (apparently) self-destruct. Plus, it has power windows! | |

Shout-Out | |
Sonic Boom / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: During her audition in "The Sidekick," Amy starts doing a really bad Italian accent, much to Sonic's horror. The painting Amy puts up on the wall of Eggman's lair in "Fortress of Squalitude" has drawn comparisons to a certain Hasbro cartoon. The title of the episode is a reference to Superman's Fortress of Solitude. No points for guessing what movie inspired the title of "Dude, Where's my Eggman?". When it looks like Cowbot is about to destroy them, Eggman screams "It's game over, man. Game over!" "Cabin Fever" has one to The Glass Menagerie, of all things. Knuckles accidentally knocks down Amy's glass unicorn and the horn breaks off. Amy notes that "A glass horse is just as good as a glass unicorn, I suppose", similar to how the protagonist of the play brushes off her own glass unicorn getting it's horn broken. In "Don't Judge Me", when Amy interrupts Judge Bot just as he's about to declare Sonic guilty: "Let's Play Musical Friends" is chock-full of them, starting with this exchange: The same sequence also features: a song that sounds remarkably similar to the original Green Hill Zone; Orbot and Cubot doing barrel rolls in Tails' plane; and Cubot opening a secret passageway by reciting the Konami Code. In "Dr Eggman's Tomato Sauce," Tails mentions that he tested the tomato sauce for "acidity, radioactivity, arsenic, old lace, and mind control serum." In "It Wasn't Me, It Was The One-Armed Hedgehog", aside from the title itself, the scene where Knuckles offers to hunt Sonic is similar to Quint offering himself to hunt the shark, right down to the painful part. The opening scene of "No Robots Allowed" has Sticks taking Amy for a ride on a bicycle within a swirling indoor air current while saying "I'll get you, my pretty!", then spoofing the famous "flying past the moon" scene from E.T., down to the music (well, close to it). Mind you, this is in the span of five seconds. "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies" contains references to two well known internet memes. First Dave the Intern says "don't taze me bro!" when being escorted from PuppyCon by a police officer, then only seconds later Knuckles says "I guess his PuppyCon experience was [beat] ruff" while putting on sunglasses during the beat, referencing the famous one-liners said before the opening credits in CSI: Miami. One of the bylaws the Archipelago Homeowners' Association spokesperson mentions is CRM-114, making a shoutout to Dr. Strangelove, of all things! In "Fire in a Crowded Workshop", Knuckles recalls Sticks mentioning that Percy was possibly a pod person and then says "IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!" In the same scene, one of the evil things the aliens mean to do is "Phone home from our houses." In "Next Top Villain," Dave's fantasy includes him wearing a helmet and cape very reminiscent of Magneto's. "The Biggest Fan" had a little bit of Misery thrown in, right down to a G-rated version of the fan breaking their idol's bones so he couldn't leave. "Mech Suits Me" has three: The opening "Jungle Predator" scene just screams... well, Predator. Eggman states that he likes the guy that goes to failing restaurants and yells at everybody. The episode's plot is pretty much a big shout-out to the Symbiote from Spider-Man. One of the crazy theoretical causes of the blackout in "Blackout" is Inspector 34. In the middle of the dogfight sequence in "Robots from the Sky" Part Two, Sonic screams "Do a barrel roll!" Morristown, the name of a floating city populated with robots, is taken from a real city in New Jersey. This continues once the city is renamed to Roboken at the end of the "Robots from the Sky" arc, as that name is based off another real city in New Jersey, Hoboken. The scene where Knuckles picks up the Bike Chain Bandit in "Planes, Trains, and Dude-Mobiles" is a reference to a similar scene in Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation, where Hamton's family picks up Mr. Hitcher. Aside from the obvious, of course. Professor Kingsford's name and appearance in "Mister Eggman" are based on Professor Kingsfield from The Paper Chase, as is a scene where he scolds Eggman for neglecting to do the first-day reading assignment. "Return of the Buddy Buddy Temple of Doom" has one to 2010: The Year We Make Contact; before deactivating from an electromagnetic pulse, one of Eggman's robots asks "Will I Dream?", similar to how HAL and SAL 9000 ask the same question before their own temporary deactivation. In addition, the episode is basically one huge Shout-Out to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: the title, the protagonist group, the cap Tails wears throughout the episode similar to Short Round's, Eggman's skull headdress, and even the premise of the episode (aside from the part where Eggman builds a Mech Suit). "Mombot" has one to Chinatown, with Eggman even getting slapped across his face once. The whole plot of "You and I Bee-come One" is a parody of The Fly (1986)'s. In "Where Have All The Sonics Gone?" AU!Sticks has an... interesting battle cry. The Unenviable Clunk in "Don't Make Me Angry". In "Eggman: The Video Game Part 1", Wild Cat says, "Shut up and take my money!" when he tries to buy Tommy Thunder's video game. Later, one of the moves Eggman performed to be motion-captured is the Hadouken. | |

Sonic Boom / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: When Orbot and Cubot move in with Tails, he offers to let them play a platforming game involving running really fast and collecting gold rings. Cubot thinks it sounds stupid. One of Sonic's biggest complaints about Eggman's script in "Eggman the Auteur" is how implausible it is that an evil genius inventor can be consistently defeated by a single hedgehog. In "It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog", Cubot and Orbot hope that there are more adventures next year, and Orbot says "Just think of the hundreds of stories to be told using the same eight characters and four locations! The possibilities are limitless!" At the end of "Circus of Plunders," Eggman fixes his remote and comments "Finally, I can turn off this dreck!" right before the cut to black. | |

Double Subverted in "Can an Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch For a Few Days?" Eggman shows up on Sonic's doorstep and claims that his lair was trashed by a violent storm, asking if Sonic could put him up until his robots rebuild his lair. Sonic accedes, which leads to various mundane roommate hijinx between Eggman and Sonic and Tails. However, the plan is a ploy, which is revealed after an all-night board game session. Eggman was just there to exhaust everyone, then sic a new robot he built on them while they were unable to defend themselves. | |

Lighter and Softer: Obviously more lighthearted than Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), Sonic Underground and Sonic X but even compared to Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog this series is much softer with the emphasis almost entirely on comedy and Eggman being more of a Sitcom Arch-Nemesis than a world-conquering megalomaniac. In addition, unlike Sonic X or the Archie comics, Tails manages to gain a love interest without her rejecting him or dying. | |

Sonic Boom / int_d143edf2 | comment |
Everybody Did It: In "Fire in a Crowded Workshop" it turns out Sonic, Knuckles and Amy were all responsible for contributing to the fire in Tails' workshop, but were preemptively overridden by Tails' security system failing as soon as they entered, which he realized after Sonic told him that he only heard some pops and noises upon entering instead of being trapped. (Though considering it came up at the very end of the episode instead of at any point during Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, or Perci's stories, it wouldn't be too surprising if Tails just made the system failure up as a lie to take the blame to spare everyone's feelings and stop them from fighting with each other.) | |

Failed Attempt at Drama: After being fired from his position as sidekick, Tails attends Sonic's interview sessions wearing a cloak. Tails tries to dramatically reveal himself by throwing the hood off, but it gets stuck and he ends up tripping. In "Double Doomsday", as Dave declares his revenge: | |

Sonic Boom / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In "Role Models", Sticks eventually gets fed up with having to answer to D.B. Platypus's overbearing politically correct attitude, so much that she bluntly tells how sick she is of hearing his whistle and being a role model, and to solidify it, she decides that the reward simply isn't worth it. Sticks destroys the trophy, gives it to Platypus, and leaves. Later on, she comes back and launches Platypus into the garbage so that she and the crew can fight without having to answer to him. | |

Sleep Deprivation | |
Sonic Boom / int_db4266d3 | comment |
Sleep Deprivation: In the episode "Can an Evil Genius Crash on Your Couch for a Few Days?", Sonic and Tails are unable to get any sleep because of Eggman, who's become their roommate because his island fortress was damaged in a storm and needs repairs, and he keeps them up all night with TV, board games, and spontaneous pillow fights. It turns out this was part of his evil plan: he lied about the fortress getting damaged, and he intended to keep Sonic and Tails awake so they'd be too tired to stop his Obliterator Bot. This winds up coming back to bite him when Obliterator Bot mishears his commands to destroy Team Sonic and leaves to destroy Eggman's fortress instead; he asks for the help of his archenemies to prevent this, but when it comes time to defend the lair, Sonic and Tails are too tired to act on his instructions to disable Obliterator Bot, forcing him to use a kazoo to snap them out of it so the team can finally take the robot down (but even then, they couldn't save the fortress from getting destroyed for real). | |

Red Herring | |
Sonic Boom / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: In "Eggman's Tomato Sauce" the heroes suspect there's something wrong with Eggman's brand of tomato sauce, but Tails' tests don't detect anything bad in it. It turns out there really is nothing wrong with the sauce, but the cans it comes in are really robots that reprogram anything electronic to terrorize the village. In "Inn Sanity", Eggman is informed that an anonymous reviewer plans to review his newly opened hotel (ie his lair). He assumes that the posh, uptight Gull that approaches soon after is said reviewer. As in "Red Herring Gull", he's not the reviewer, he's an insurance agent. Amy Rose was the reviewer. | |

Start My Own: In "Chez Amy", Amy is disgruntled by the low quality of Meh Burger, so she starts her own (supposedly) high-quality restaurant. In "Battle of the Boy Bands", Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles start their own band, just to compete with Justin Beaver. In "Chain Letter", Eggman, after Sonic bans friend requests, decides to start his own social media network. | |

Legion of Doom: In the season one finale, "It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog", Eggman gathers almost every other villain that's appeared in the series thus far — plus Shadow the Hedgehog, for good measure — to defeat Team Sonic with their combined might. Despite the plan working initially, it ultimately fails. | |

Ship Tease | |
Sonic Boom / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Regarding Amy's crush on Sonic, Sonic Boom heavily downplays it in comparison with the anime, but it's still obvious in episodes such as "Can An Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch for A Few Days?" and (especially) "Translate This!". Heck "The Evil Dr. Orbot" shows the two of them on a picnic alone, Eggman honestly thinks the two of them are on a date. Though season two has amped up the Ship Tease between Sonic and Amy compared to season one. While Amy's crush on Sonic was one sided just like in the rest of Sonic media, this started to change towards the end of Season 1, as the series began to drop hints that Sonic may like her back (for example, he reacts with distress when Knuckles suggests in "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies" that she might be dating someone, and dejectedly says "Guess it's my own fault. You snooze, you lose." in "Alone Again, Unnaturally" when he believes Tails and Amy may be dating). Slightly subverted in the episode where a psychotic fan decides to read his fanfiction to an incapacitated Sonic, admitting the one Sonic/Amy story as cliche and being written more out of obligation to the ship's popularity in the fandom. | |

Porky Pig Pronunciation: In "Can an Evil Genius...", Sticks tries to tell the Obliterator-Bot that she's unobliterable a few times before giving up and matter-of-factly saying "you can't kill me." instead. In "If You Build It, They Will Race", Tails uses his Build-it Box to create a bolt, but the others, knowing the device could make anything, suggest that he could make a car with it. He explains that the Box is too small for that, and Sonic tells him to build a bigger Build-it Box... or at least tries to, but gets his tongue twisted. | |

Unobtanium: "Eggman the Auteur" features a mineral called "Unacquirum", which Eggman intends to use to build a new robot army. Except not really; it's just part of a ruse to trick Sonic into appearing in Eggman's movie. In FiendBot it's revealed that an old videogame, Tomatopotamus 2, contained chips with "Sparcium" in them; so most copies of the game had been destroyed to get the rare mineral. In the same episode we learn that Eggman has used Sparcium in Fiendbot's AI processor, so the gang must destroy their copy of the game in order to save their new robot friend. | |

Knuckles winds up suffering from this at the beginning of "Knuck Knuck! Who's Here?" as a result of being launched head-first into a rock during a fight with Eggman, knocking him out and forcing the still-conscious members of Team Sonic to wrap up the fight quickly. When Knuckles wakes up, he remembers nothing and has to be reminded of who he is, his home of Angel Island, and the fact he's the Last of His Kind, the last of which sets up the episode's plot of him attempting to find a foster family. | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor: On several occasions: In "Alone Again, Unnaturally", Sticks refers to "blast processing" as just "some phoney-baloney buzz words to fool the simple-minded." In "Fiendbot" upon finding a copy of the video game "Tomatopotamus 2", the cast comments (in order) that "Tomatopotamus never worked in 3D, game companies always ruin their beloved franchises, and they should never have changed the color of Tomatopotamus' legs." Then there's this line from "Mech Suits Me." The core concept of the series' gameplay has been mocked at least twice. In "Let's Play Musical Friends", Tails describes a game where you run, roll, and collect rings as fast as possible. Cubot calls it a a terrible idea. Likewise, in "Mister Eggman", when the team is trying to keep a washer ring away from Eggman, Sonic says that catching rings is boring. | |

However, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles remain unaffected, and eventually learn that it's because Justin Beaver is unintentionally brainwashing all of the island's female residents, thanks to a scheme from a Corrupt Corporate Executive behind Justin's music. In order to break the brainwashing, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles get onstage at Justin Beaver's concert, singing a song that insults pop music with lyrics like "You should expect the expected, and nothing more, 'cause you've all heard this song and dance before". The trio of boys then takes out instruments and changes it to a rock tune, which breaks the spell. | |

Sonic Boom / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Several series wide ones, and a few episodic ones.. The village never sends anyone to collect Eggman's trash, causing him to get increasingly maniacal in his schemes to get rid of it. Eggman never getting Knuckles' name right, coming up with some truly strange replacements. Whenever Tails has to pull a tarp off of something - which happens more often than you'd think - it results in an Overly Long Gag where he strains and struggles to pull it off. Culminates in: In "Fire in a Crowded Workshop", each version of events has Sticks giving a different conspiracy theory as to why Perci is evil. Throughout the "Robots from the Sky" story arc, a good chunk of the characters, even Hypno-bot, agree that the name of the city Mighton and Bolts originate from, Morristown, is a bit of a weak name and suggest better names. This gag eventually pays off when they decide to change the name to "Roboken", which Team Sonic agrees is better, in the fourth and final part. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
Sonic Boom / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: A common theme in the series. For example, in "Do Not Disturb", despite Tails being frustrated by Sonic's ways while the hedgehog was his roommate and vice versa, the two ultimately realize they've been acting like jerks towards each other and remain best friends. | |

The Dog Bites Back | |
Sonic Boom / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: The first half of "Counter-Productive" consists of Knuckles aggressively trying to make amends with Charlie for getting him fired years ago, only to inadvertently and systematically destroy Charlie's entire life. Charlie snaps, constructs a Humongous Mecha, and spends the second half of the episode terrorising Knuckles with it. | |

Sonic Boom / int_fbd5c739 | comment |
I Have to Go Iron My Dog: The episode "Buster" has this after Eggman's Anti-Firefighter Bot is destroyed. The episode "Let's Play Musical Friends" also has this. In "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies", when Amy and Eggman agree to meet up at the lair, Sonic asks Amy if she wants to go to the beach. Amy replies with this: | |

Surprise Difficulty | |
Sonic Boom / int_fc46e29 | comment |
Surprise Difficulty: In-Universe, Fuzzy Puppies is implied to be a lot more sophisticated and difficult to learn than the name and theme suggest. The playing pieces are adorable puppy figures that each have their own unique ability, they can be equipped with cute hats that also bestow different abilities, you need to have a balance of enforcers, decoys, and support puppies on your team to play it well, the playing board is a hex-grid, and a 20-sided die is involved. | |

Go-Karting with Bowser | |
Sonic Boom / int_fc4f5f19 | comment |
Go-Karting with Bowser: Double Subverted in "Can an Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch For a Few Days?" Eggman shows up on Sonic's doorstep and claims that his lair was trashed by a violent storm, asking if Sonic could put him up until his robots rebuild his lair. Sonic accedes, which leads to various mundane roommate hijinx between Eggman and Sonic and Tails. However, the plan is a ploy, which is revealed after an all-night board game session. Eggman was just there to exhaust everyone, then sic a new robot he built on them while they were unable to defend themselves. In "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies", when Amy and Eggman realize they share a love of the Fuzzy Puppies tabletop game, they begin playing it together, with Amy teaching Eggman how to play; even after he's become a top player and the rest of Team Sonic discovers their secret, the two continue the trend. Of course, they still consider each other enemies otherwise, so this is strictly during "after-business hours". Zig-Zagged in "Eggman the Auteur". Eggman is trying his hand as a movie director and briefly convinces Sonic to act for him, but he's using the movie production as a ruse to illegally dig for rare minerals. But that story is a double-ruse in order to trick Sonic into providing some convincing takes for his movie. But that story was a triple-ruse to brainwash everyone in the village with a machine while they're watching it. But when he learns that he and his robots never got around to installing the brainwashing machine, he doesn't mind much. The literal variant appears in "If You Build It, They Will Race", where Team Sonic compete against each other in a race with vehicles made by a large Build-It Box, along with various other characters and Eggman. In "Lightning Bowler Society", after suffering one too many defeats by Sonic, the "villain" group, the Lightning Bolt Society, decides on forming a bowling team. They even manage to defeat Sonic's team the Pin-Dashers. | |

Evil Is Hammy | |
Sonic Boom / int_fdf22cfd | comment |
Evil Is Hammy: "I'll be back, with a new robot! With an accurate name! And super laser eyes! And it'll feed me ham! Eeeeevil ham..." Nominatus from Episode 23 is even worse. He wears a cape seemingly just so he can dramatically throw it off and wreath his arms in flame when Orbot and Cubot finally reach him. And starts laughing evilly for little to no reason. | |

Brick Joke | |
Sonic Boom / int_fe0330fb | comment |
At the end of "Robot Battle Royale", Tails' robot that hypnotizes other robots, creatively named Hypno-bot, was destroyed by a Brick Joke. End of his story, right? WRONG. Hypno-bot returns in a big way in "Robots from the Sky" Part Three, now a sentient robot; he's revealed to have survived and been taken to Morristown to be repaired and granted sentience, and he's the one who infected all robots with a malware signal to do his bidding and destroy organic life. And his reasoning for this? Tails pretty much forgot about him, and he's not happy about it. | |

Shown Their Work | |
Sonic Boom / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The bandaging on Sonic and Tails' shoes? That's called spatting, a practice in which athletes wrap sports tape around their shoes and ankles for stability and to protect their feet and ankles from injury. Sonic's new Scarf of Asskickingnote Uh, pardon? Bandana. actually has some practicality: wind chill at the kind of speeds Sonic achieves can be murder on one's neck. This is a big reason why airplane pilots during World War I wore scarves, themselves: to protect their necks. It can also be pulled over his face to keep dust and bugs from flying into his mouth at high-speeds. The bandages around Knuckles' arms and hands? Boxing tape. Serves the same purpose as Sonic and Tails' spatting, only for his hands and wrists. (Although in-universe Knuckles claims he's too dim to put mittens on, implying he has to settle for the tape.) Amy's handwraps and sarashi, too, are justified by the ginormous hammer she carries. | |
