Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sonic the Hedgehog is a cartoon adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog produced by DiC Entertainment, and currently distributed by DHX Media. The cartoon is quite unique for airing simultaneously with another, entirely different cartoon based on the exact same character: Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Being the more serious of the two, it is a very sharp contrast to its similarly named but much more comedic weekday counterpart. The show is commonly known as Sonic SatAM (as in Saturday Morning, when it aired on the American ABC network) to distinguish it from the other show, which was aired in syndication on weekdays. It premiered on September 18, 1993, replacing Goof Troop on the 9:00 AM time slot. It was bumped to the 8:30 AM time slot for season two, where it remained until it ended on December 3, 1994.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series features Sonic as the leader and primary member of the Freedom Fighters, a closely-knit resistance force attempting to overthrow the dominion of Dr. Julian Robotnik, a genius dictator who has already conquered most of the planet Mobius and turned it into a cold, urban, metal nightmare. All of the conquered peoples are forced to undergo roboticization - a process that turns living creatures into automatons that serve his empire as forced laborers.The series fell victim to the demise of many Saturday Morning Cartoons, being abruptly cancelled after two seasons on a Cliffhanger, on a total of only 26 episodes. Even when it was originally aired on ABC, it was pre-empted in many markets: some viewers didn't see the show at all until it was re-aired on USA Network.Sonic Spinball is based on some of the show's concepts. Sega had also planned to make a proper spinoff game of the show, but that was also cancelled.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog was licensed as a spin-off of this show, though the comic book got to the consumers first. Despite being officially licensed as a spinoff and using many of the same characters, the comic bears little similarity to the shows' overall plot thanks to problems in communication early on.note resulting in confusion over which Sonic cartoon was being adapted As a result, the comic quickly shifted away from the show's continuity and tone and - despite running for 24 years before being cancelled in 2017 - did not provide a conclusion for the cartoon's Cliffhanger ending.In addition to the aforementioned Adventures, this show is not to be confused with Sonic Underground, Sonic X, the Sonic animated film, Sonic Boom, or The 2020 movie of the same name.

Dirty Coward: Antoine, initially more of an arrogant Lovable Coward, was Flanderized into this trope later on, at least once offering to switch sides when the Freedom Fighter base had supposedly been found. Even Snively found him to be a "little worm".

Teens Are Short: Most of the main teenage group of Freedom Fighters are dwarfed by other older groups. Granted, species may have something to do with this, but even then King Acorn is almost twice the size of his sixteen year old daughter. Sonic averts this: he's the same size as his uncle.

We Have Ways of Making You Talk
 Sonic SatAM / int_12f667aa
comment
We Have Ways of Making You Talk: This happens twice in the show, once in the first season, and again in the second. Thanks to the second season being much more silly and much less serious than the first, the way it's handled in both cases greatly differs. In The Season One episode Sonic Boom, Cat uses himself as a distraction a few minutes in, and gets himself captured by Robotnik, who proceeds to promise him that if he reveals the Freedom Fighter's base, he will not be Roboticized.note Knowing Robotnik, this is either a case of Blatant Lies or Exact Words. When Cat resists, Robotnik proceeds to torture him off-screen for information. The tone of the scene is fully serious. In Season Two episode Spy Hog, Antoine is captured by Snively and tortured for the same reason, but using a different method: he offends his refined tastes in food by butchering French cooking. Unlike Cat's torture from before, Antoine's "torture" is unreservedly comedic in tone.

Secret Handshake: In "Sonic and Sally", Robotnik replaces Sally with a robot duplicate. It's good enough to pass muster for most of the episode, but when it fails to perform the secret handshake, Sonic realizes something's up.

Parenting the Husband: An unmarried example occurs with Sonic and Sally: she constantly tries to keep Sonic in line and endlessly chastises him for taking risks or going outside of her plans, regardless of whether or not they work. In the second season, it's actually justified thanks to Sonic being flanderized to the point where he needs to guidance to avoid endangering himself and at times the entire team with his recklessness.

Phantom Zone: The Void is a zone full of nothing at all except limitless magic that exists outside Mobius. Those within cannot affect anything on the outside. A powerful magician can effectively do anything in the void, including see out of it, but cannot escape. Robotnik likes using it to trap those people that he especially hates.

Heroic BSoD: In "Ultra Sonic", Sonic and the team convert Uncle Chuck back to their side, but by the episode's end, his robotic programming reverts him back into a mindless drone, and the team are forced to abandon him. The normally overconfident and optimistic Sonic completely breaks down into tears as a result. Sally has a similar, albeit more subtle one after her father returns to the title vortex of "The Void".

Darker and Edgier
 Sonic SatAM / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: This cartoon is easily the darkest incarnation of the Sonic franchise, detailing a world where Robotnik won, and used his technology to turn the world into an industrial wasteland dystopia and turn most of the population into robotic slaves. The heroes have it very hard, and even if they manage to win, it will be a very long road to full recovery. Watching the pilot episode reveals that the series is darker and edgier than itself originally was. Much of the animation in the pilot (particularly Sally and Bunnie) had a much brighter, softer look than the actual show and the tone is much more whimsical. This show is also far more serious than the other shows that DiC Entertainment has produced before or since.

Evil Sounds Deep
 Sonic SatAM / int_16364a29
comment
Evil Sounds Deep: Robotnik's speaking voice - provided by Jim Cummings - is a low, menacing drawl with a metallic reverb, that only seldom rises above a whisper. His voice alone is among the most memorable aspects of the series, and a strong contrast to every other version of the character, who all have much more normal vocal tones and a more bombastic delivery.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: Snively is treated as a worthless toady by Robotnik, and something of a laughing stock to most of Freedom Fighters. However, he has come closer to invading Knothole than his uncle ever did (through sheer luck), and in the planned Third Season he would have briefly taken over as Big Bad during Robotnik's absence.

Beautiful Void: The Void is a vast, empty dimension. When inside it, a person can see everything on Mobius, and magic can allow a person to do quite literally anything except escape or interact with the outside world. Robotnik used it to exile the wizard Naugus, who used his magic to shape the Void into a beautiful crystalline city designed to resemble Mobitropolis.

Childhood Friend Romance: Sonic and Sally are revealed to have known each other since the age of five in "Blast to the Past", and the two grew a strong relationship before finally (openly) revealing their feelings for each other in "Doomsday". Their relationship would carry on in the comic adaption, leading to Sonic officially becoming Sally's◊ consort before becoming the new King of Mobitropolis◊. Antoine and Bunny are pretty much a Beta Couple, and they eventually married each other in the comic adaption as well.

I Surrender, Suckers: In "Sonic Conversion", Sonic pretends to give up so he'll be taken to Robotnik and the roboticizer. When Robotnik demands to know why he's there, Sonic hams it up, saying he can't take the stress anymore and his nerves are shot. Robotnik is unconvinced, and after a little banter, orders the SWATBots that brought Sonic in to put him in the roboticizer anyway. They grab Sonic, but he quickly trashes them and takes Robotnik for a spin in his own command chair as a diversion before getting to the true purpose of his mission: stealing parts from the roboticizer to fix the deroboticizer the Freedom Fighters have been working on.

comment
"Robotnik" is revealed to be a pseudonym - his real name is Julian.note Given Robotnik's literal definition, this is definitely a Meaningful Rename. Contrast this with every other Sonic media, where his birth name is "Ivo Robotnik" and he takes the nickname "Eggman" after Sonic uses that name to insult him. The comics, in one of their many attempts at Canon Welding, gave him the birth name "Julian Kintobor", had him take the name "Ivo Robotnik" after he overthrew the monarchy. Then they had an alternate universe version him from the future take "Eggman" as his actual name sometime later.

comment
The Friends Who Never Hang: In season one, the main team was Sonic, Rotor, Sally, and Bunnie, with Rotor being Sonic's closest friend and confidant, and Bunnie being Sally's closest friend and confidant. In Season 2, Sally rarely ever interacts with Bunnie, while Sally replaced Rotor as Sonic's confidant, making them both largely irrelevant. The ones who interacted the least were Tails and Rotor, which is ironic given that they're both tech-savvy.

Not the Intended Use: Uncle Chuck invented the Roboticizer to help older people live longer by replacing their decaying bodies with cybernetics. He abandoned the project after discovering that it also removed people's free will, however, he made the mistake of not destroying his research. Robotnik found the blueprints and made his own Roboticizer, gleefully embracing the horrific side effects as he used it to turn all the people of Mobotropolis into his willing robotic slaves.

Family of Choice/True Companions: The Freedom Fighters are clearly a tightly-knit group of friends, all of whom have lost their actual families and so turn to each other for that kind of support; Tails even considers Princess Sally his "Aunt", and she treats him very much like her own son at times. Likewise, Sonic and Tails have a very brotherly relationship.

Crapsack World
 Sonic SatAM / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: When Robotnik overthrew the monarchy with his technologically advanced robotic army, he immediately started conquering the rest of the planet with the goal of roboticizing absolutely everyone. The result of this has been years of world-spanning conflict, causing extensive damage to all civilization and most of the environment. The series begins ten years after Robotnik won: The native populations have all either been captured or forced into hiding, leaving behind nothing except empty, decaying cites where proud cultures used to stand. Nothing opposes him now but small groups of freedom fighters attacking from hidden bases, and they don't have it easy: the entire planet is against them. Yet, for all of that, they are making slow progress towards victory.

Chekhov's Gun: In Season 1, an episode has the Freedom Fighters discover a species of "metal-eating" plants that instantly corrode metal into dust upon contact. The plants' harmless seeds are harvested before the episode is over, but they aren't ever brought up again. In the final episode of the series, we discover that Rotor's been developing metal-eating balloons (water balloon-like thrown projectiles) that instantly corrode metal into dust upon contact.

Good Bad Girl

comment
Good Bad Girl: Bunnie is unambiguously a G-rated version of this tropenote She is a rabbit, after all. At one point she casually, yet seriously jokes about eyeing Uncle Chuck. She is very flirty, and wears a somewhat skimpier version of a well known sexy outfit. Along with Antoine, Bunnie is one of only two characters in the show who will fuss over their appearance, and is the only one to wear makeup. She's also easily the sweetest character in the cast, and has a good rapport with nearly everyone: a Femme Fatale she is not. Page 12◊ of Sonic SatAM's Universe Bible (which can be read in full at this link) reveals that she isn't at all picky about love - she has her eye on nearly every male in the cast except Tails.

Headbutting Heroes: Sally and Sonic often compete with each other. Also, Sonic and Antoine often argue with each other or competing for Sally's affections. (Though that particular "competition" is very one-sided) As Sally once inadvertently pointed out, should one get captured, the other likely wouldn't even lift a finger if she didn't lecture them enough.

Early Adaptation Weirdness
 Sonic SatAM / int_26fd153
comment
Early Adaptation Weirdness: The series has almost nothing in common with the post-Sonic Adventure games, to the point where it seems like an in name only adaptation. The thing is, at the time this show was made, Sonic Adventure did not exist yet, and the Genesis games didn't have much plot or characterization to work with aside from a vague message about preserving nature and a hint of Cyber Punk genre. So, the writers decided to exaggerate the core plot of the first two games: Sonic's little animal friends are now equally anthropomorphic co-stars with Sonic, the nature message is made into a major subplot, the villain Dr. Robotnik is made substantially more dangerous, and Sonic was given a Love Interest because Sega hadn't decided to make him a Celibate Hero yet - and even now they haven't fully decided on that one.

comment
Defanged Horrors: This show has an awful lot of intentionally scary content, especially for a Sonic cartoon. All of it helps to establish the dreary atmosphere of a world where Robotnik won. The visuals in Robotropolis are quite dark and oppressive◊. Aside from the existential horror of being roboticized, the sight of a Roboticizer in action is actually terrifying◊. This also impacts many character designs: Robotnik◊ himself◊ is the most notable example, but other examples include roboticized creatures◊ and the horribly mutated subterranean king in Sub Sonic.

Out of Focus: invoked Despite playing a big part in the games, Tails is more of a background character who is given the occasional Day in the Limelight. Word of God says he would've played a much bigger role in the third season.

After the End: At the start of the series, Mobius is not in a good place, what with civilization all but broken down and 90% of the entire planet's population enslaved as robots. The few survivors either moved underground or fled into the wilderness before forming scattered pockets of resistance.

Just Eat Gilligan
 Sonic SatAM / int_35543514
comment
Just Eat Gilligan: Why the team always take Antoine to missions over more useful (or at least less detrimental) Freedom Fighters is never explained. At least one episode showed that Sonic can easily break into Robotnik's lair and deliver a Curbstomp Battle as a distraction. Why in over a decade of warfare has he never attempted to capture or destroy Robotnik this way is unexplainable. note It should be noted that the episode occurred in the second season, which as these pages show, was rampant with both Flanderization and Villain Decay: the SWAT-bots went from being terrifying war machines to easily destroyed cannon fodder, and Robotnik himself went from being scarily competent to mildly threatening. Given how much trouble Robotnik's base defenses were shown to give Sonic before, this plan would not have worked in season one by any means.

Refuse to Rescue the Disliked
 Sonic SatAM / int_39d96ba9
comment
Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: In "Hooked on Sonics", Antoine ends up captured by Robotnik in a reckless stunt with a power ring. While the other Freedom Fighters are horrified, Sonic just snarks it's his own stupid fault and refuses to go on a rescue mission. When Sally's chiding doesn't budge him (even she can't earnestly suggest Antoine wouldn't do the same to him), he begrudgingly goes through with it after she points out the more pragmatic issue of Robotnik using his power ring against them. As his lair is being torn apart by a super-charged Sonic and Sally in "The Doomsday Project", a very bitter Robotnik refuses to give Snively access to the only nearby escape pod. Snively, having predicted as much, had implemented his own backup form of escape. Snively got out fine, while Robotnik's transport got caught in the blast as the city was destroyed.

Something Completely Different: invoked The network mandated Two Shorts styled episodes in the second seasonnote The first being Fed Up With Antoine/Ghost Busted, The second being Odd Couple/Ro Becca are definitely this. Unlike the usual dark tone of the series, these episodes have an extreme focus on Antoine and slapstick that strongly contrasts with the style of the rest of the show. Despite the Sonic fandom generally finding it hard to agree on any one thing, these episodes are generally despised by pretty much everyone and don't help Antone at all.

Bad Boss

Bad Boss: Robotnik very frequently vents his frustrations out on his subordinates, mechanical or otherwise - even for failures they had no responsibility for. In Hooked on Sonics, he executed a SWAT-bot for failing to save the Shredder when the problem was an inherent design flaw. Snively ends up being the target of most of his hostility, and in the final episode, when his greatest project is destroyed, Robotnik outright sentences Snively to die in the exploding city out of fury (ironically this act would end up saving Snively who escaped through safer means than him, while ensuring his own demise). Even in his better moods, his relationship with his nephew is not affectionate to say the least.

Broken Aesop
 Sonic SatAM / int_401d4116
comment
Broken Aesop: Despite being known for its refreshing lack of preachiness, the show has an accidental Family-Unfriendly Aesop in the Season 2 episode, "Game Guy." In this episode, the heroes meet a strange freedom fighter called Ari. Although Sonic wants to trust him, Sally wants to err on the side of caution. Eventually Ari leads Sonic into one of Robotnik's traps in exchange for the freedom of his own teammates. When it becomes apparent to Ari that Robotnik has no intention of honoring his end of the deal, he "proves" himself trustworthy by freeing Sonic from the trap, sacrificing himself in the process. At the end of the episode, Sonic gently chides Sally for not being trusting enough, and Sally admits she was wrong despite the fact that everything that happened in the episode proved that she was right. Note she does add playfully how careless Sonic had been however, which he can only sulkily accept. This is a role reversal of the Season 1 episode, "Warp Sonic", in which Sally was shown to be wrong for not listening to Sonic's claim of a mysterious Freedom Fighter named Griff being untrustworthy. The dichotomy between these episodes shows the difference in the character writing between the two seasons: Sonic playing the fool to Sally's unerring wisdom becomes a recurring theme in Season 2.

Brainwashed: The Roboticizer essentially does this to its victims, making them unable to act without being given orders first. Robotnik has programmed his roboticized minions to attack and detain any non-roboticized individuals that they encounter. In addition, Lazaar's magical computer has a "submission spell" which can be used to control a person's will in the same way - Robotnik uses it to control Sally and Bunny in Super Sonic.

You Have Failed Me: Said by Robotnik to an ill fated SWATBot in "Hooked On Sonics". He arguably does this to Snively at the climax of "The Doomsday Project": Enraged at his defeat, he kicks his nephew out of the only escape pod and leaves him to die in the detonating base. Snively had predicted this would happen and had created his own means of escape, while Robotnik's pod ironically got caught up in the destruction of the base.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sonic can be incredibly arrogant and frequently butts heads with the other Freedom Fighters (usually Sally or Antoine, even if the latter usually deserves it). He is altruistic to a fault however and in his reckless enthusiasm, he is only looking out for others. Antoine, who although being a cowardly, pompous oaf has proven to be unquestionably loyal to Princess Sally, and on occasion shown traits of Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass when one of the others was in trouble, like when Sonic was about to be ambushed from behind by a Nasty Hyena.

Characterization Marches On
 Sonic SatAM / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Most of the cast were at least moderately goofier in the pilot episode. In addition, several characters were changed in Season Two, but not in the way this trope implies. For those examples, see Flanderization: Snively was actually a sincere Yes-Man to Robotnik in Season One, even taking pleasure in what rare praise he received from his Bad Boss. In Season Two he blatantly loathes Robotnik and plots behind his back. In the pilot and odd early episodes, Rotor was more clumsy and dorky, a role that was associated more with Antoine and Dulcy afterwards.

Intergenerational Friendship: Most of the Freedom Fighters and Uncle Chuck Hedgehog. Of course, it's most because his nephew is the show's star. The same could also be said with Tails and the rest of the Freedom Fighters.

Sealed Evil in a Can: Robotnik steals a computer of magic spells from the formerly evil wizard Lazaar, and Sonic attempts to get it back. When asked why he can't just destroy the computer, Lazaar says that would release all the evil it contains. Naugus is an evil wizard who is trapped in the Void, incapable of exit lest he crystallize and die.

Getting Crap Past the Radar
 Sonic SatAM / int_4b86a724
comment
Getting Crap Past the Radar: These start with the first episode in the series. Robotnik's plan is to air-drop a newly invented tree-killing chemical to destroy the Great Forest, exposing Knothole Village. You might happen to notice that the chemicals are colored orange. The kiss between Sonic and Sally in "Hooked on Sonics" (the second one, after the peck on the cheek with the faux Post-Kiss Catatonia) gets rather intimate. Judge for yourself. Also counts as Parent Service. Sally's tone of voice when she uses the Power Stones with Sonic for the first time: Bunnie. In addition to having a flirty disposition, her outfit is strikingly similar to (and somewhat more revealing than) a Playboy Bunny. Bunnie's dialogue tends to contain mild expletives, some of which aren't as child-friendly as they may seem to be: A very subtle but clever example occurs during in "Warp Sonic", with Sally cutting Sonic off just before he recites a famous rhetorical question: Antoine has trouble using the correct word in a sentence.

Robotnik suffers a more minor one in "Blast to the Past, Part 2." During this time travel adventure, it turns out that Sonic accidentally caused Robotnik's left arm to be unwillingly roboticised. (He spun him around and tripped him up near the Roboticiser, you see.) Robotnik was not happy.

Nature Is Not Nice: Aside from Robotnik's pollution, the rest of Mobius is an utterly beautiful planet... that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous. Mobius has flesh-eating plants, plants secrete oil that can disintegrate anything it touches, naturally occurring explosive crystals, and predatory life forms. Even so, the planet never comes anywhere close to the lethality of Robotropolis.

Book Dumb
 Sonic SatAM / int_53136954
comment
Sonic was originally a somewhat Book Dumb hero with a not totally undeserved, but still problematic arrogant streak. He was a master of Improv Fu, and when he slowed down and stopped letting his ego dictate his actions, he could be quite perceptive and even a bit manipulative. In the second season, this was exaggerated to complete idiocy and borderline narcissism, making him so cocky and incompetent that more than half of the episodes are devoted to him making some sort of error out of recklessness and needing to be bailed out by the rest of the team. In addition, his tendency to improvise simply disappeared, and got replaced with simply abusing the heck out of his speed.

Adopted to the House: In "The Odd Couple", the huts get destroyed by Dulcy when she crash-lands into it. Sonic moves into Antoine's until the storm blows over and he can rebuild his hut.

However, a tree falls on Antoine's house, quicky turning it into a Here We Go Again! situation.

Green Aesop: invoked Taking cues directly from Sonic The Hedgehog and Sonic CD,note Yuji Naka himself speaks on this trope in this interview Sonic SatAM features a message about preserving nature. The show is consistently noted to be a refreshingly subtle example of this trope, as a result of adhering to Show, Don't Tell via the distinct contrast between Knothole Village and Robotropolisnote Robotropolis is visually based directly on the appearance of Scrap Brain Zone from Sonic 1, but with a cooler color palate, though it has the red sky in some concept art. rather than resorting to preachy diatribes a-la Captain Planet. In addition, as with Sonic CD, technology itself is not the problem: the problem is Robotnik. Mobius was already enjoying advanced computer technology, Magitek, robots and flying machines... machinery only stared destroying nature after Robotnik took over and perverted it's use.

Fragile Speedster
 Sonic SatAM / int_5979acea
comment
In the games, Sonic is traditionally a Fragile Speedster: while he's great at dodging, he's far from being the hardest hitter, and can't do much damage at all if he doesn't take the time to get up to speed first. Here, he can punch and kick robots with enough force to launch them several feet (though it makes sense that he could kick that hard), and when already running, he can use his momentum to throw armored things multiple times his size with enough force to shatter them. He is also the only Freedom Fighter to have broken security cameras by throwing junk at them...with ONE hand.

Sally and Lupe both have a mane of hair, while Bunnie only has a tuft of fur on her forehead (despite sometimes treating her ears as hair). Most male characters have just fur, though Antoine has a blond cut and some elderly characters such as Uncle Chuck and King Acorn have mustaches.

Nice Mean And Inbetween: This comes into play in the second season thanks to Flanderization. Princess Sally is gentle and rational, Sonic is altruistic but arrogant and hot headed, Antoine is cowardly, but not malicious.

Painful Transformation: The roboticization process takes an organic being and turns its skin, flesh, and bones into metals, its blood into oil, and its nerves into wires and circuitry... without anesthesia. The fact that this process is immensely painful is maintained in both the cartoon itself◊ and the comic adaptation.

Nicole actually has this. After Sally and Bunnie go missing in The Void, Sonic, frantic with worry, asks Nicole where they went. Nicole tries to explain what happened using her typical Exact Words and computer speak ... which only frustrates the already frenzied Sonic into shaking her violently. Nicole quickly started experimenting with using Sonic's lingo to communicate.

 Sonic SatAM / int_617f0563

Heel–Face Turn: Lazaar the wizard once terrorized Mobius through the power of a spell-casting computer he created, which he filled with evil magic. For reasons unknown, he went to the Forbidden Zone, sealed himself inside a massive fortress full of all manner of deadly traps, and put himself into a magical sleep for centuries until someone vile enough came along to awaken him. During that sleep, he dreamed for centuries, reliving every evil act he ever committed. He eventually came to regret being so evil. Unfortunately, destroying the magic computer would release all the evil inside and cause a catastrophe, so upon being awakened, he took his magical computer and willingly left Mobius into another dimension to guard it, presumably for eternity.

Death World: Robotropolis is not a nice place. The city is surrounded on all sides by a vast, noxious wasteland where nothing lives except the odd roboticized rat. The outskirts consist of literal mountains of garbage that form a wall all around, and dangers inside the city include pools of acid, toxic lakes, noxious fumes, and vast amounts of lethally dangerous machinery, ranging from broken things that Robotnik simply doesn't use anymore, to power plants and factories that were never built for safety in the first place. As if that wasn't enough, the city itself is under constant surveillance and patrolled 24/7 by relentless mechanical warriors and drone aircraft that are hell bent on roboticizing or killing anything that lives.

Never the Selves Shall Meet: In "Blast to the Past", Sonic and Sally travel back in time and meet their past selves. Nothing bad happens from this and the past selves don't know who they really are. Weirdly, Sally seems concerned that the possibility of their younger selves knowing their identities could be problematic so she and Sonic go by aliases. However, on at least two occasions, she uses Sonic's real name to refer to the older hedgehog with his younger self within earshot (and one of those time she does so right in front of the younger Sonic) yet the younger Sonic doesn't catch on.

In The Season One episode Sonic Boom, Cat uses himself as a distraction a few minutes in, and gets himself captured by Robotnik, who proceeds to promise him that if he reveals the Freedom Fighter's base, he will not be Roboticized.note Knowing Robotnik, this is either a case of Blatant Lies or Exact Words. When Cat resists, Robotnik proceeds to torture him off-screen for information. The tone of the scene is fully serious.

Evil Laugh: Robotnik has a series of evil laughs, ranging from low, menacing chuckling to full on deranged cackling. The fact that he's voiced by Jim Cummings certainly helps matters.

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: In "Sonic Conversion," the Freedom Fighters finally manage to make a working de-roboticizer, and use it to revert Bunnie back to normal. Seeing this, Sonic retrieves his Uncle Chuck from Robotropolis and brings him to Knothole, where the same process is used to change him back as well. Later, it turns out that the effects are only temporary: Bunnie's arm and legs revert back to cybernetics, causing her to break down into tears. Sally makes an attempt to comfort her and reassure her they'll restore her back to normal again in due time... only to realize that if the deroboticization on Bunnie was only temporary, then the same thing will happen to Uncle Chuck, immediately creating an enemy agent inside Knothole.

Meaningful Name: Dulcy's name is Spanish for "sweet", and she is a very nice dragon. Lupe, who's name means "wolf". Sonic himself. It's probably more a coincidence than anything else, but Sally's name comes from a Hebrew word meaning "princess". Ari from "Game Guy". He's a ram, which is often associated with the zodiac symbol Aries.

Endangered Species: All life on Mobius is endangered. Robotnik has already destroyed most civilization in the world, roboticizing every living thing unlucky enough to cross his path. Even more, the pollution he leaves in his wake as his war factories expand production is steadily destroying the biosphere, killing off everything else that remains. He has no intention of stopping until everything on the planet is either roboticized or dead.

Another Dimension: Travelling to bizarre alternate dimensions to collect important magical stones was a mainstay mechanic in the Sonic games of the time. In particular, Sonic CD featured Time Stones, which were used to undo the damage Robotnik had already done to Little Planet. Taking from this, the episode Blast To The Past had Sonic and Sally travel through one of thesenote Based heavily on M. C. Escher's Relativity to collect the Time Stones in an attempt to defeat Robotnik before he could conquer Mobius. An earlier episode also introduced The Void: a dimension of pure magic from which no one can escape.

Let's Split Up, Gang: On occasion, sometimes without actually saying "Let's split up".

Argument of Contradictions
 Sonic SatAM / int_6fd1837b
comment
Argument of Contradictions: Some arguments between Sonic and Sally devolve into this. As revealed in "Blast to the Past Part 1", they've been arguing thusly pretty much all their lives. Sally's older self even lampshades this after overhearing her younger self and Sonic's argue over whether his messy eating and subsequent belch was cool or disgusting: "*sigh* Some things never change."

 Sonic SatAM / int_736d791f
comment
Adaptational Badass: Doctor Robotnik plays it straight. In the games, he's portrayed as a clownish and whimsical Mad Scientist who is suprisingly threatening in a fight but largely incapable of gaining or maintaining his goal of world domination.note Despite the West's best attempts to harden him up In this series, he is a high-ranking military genius and war hero who became the de-facto reigning Overlord of Mobius in a very carefully planned hostile takeover. He has so much power now that he usually doesn't need to fight his enemies directly: he just uses his Swat-Bot army from a distance, living quite comfortably in his lair - though some enemies can spur him into more direct action. He is also treated very seriously until his Flanderization in the second season, and even then he was a major threat to the point of possible global genocide.

Bond Villain Stupidity: Robotnik was portrayed far less competently in Season Two compared to his portrayal as a manipulative and cunning foe in Season One. While in his past he was able to make lengthy charades to maintain his plans for power, in Season Two, he just can't help from screwing up at the most inappropriate times. See the entries for Flanderization and Villain Decay for more info.

Straw Loser: Antoine is this in Season two. All the Freedom Fighters have noticeable flaws: Sonic in particular is incredibly arrogant and prone to endanger the team in his recklessness or lack of tact. Antoine however, is a bastion of negative human qualities and has few redeeming ones to compensate. In general, if one character has a flaw, Antoine has it tens times more.

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Most of the Knothole Freedom Fighters are between 14 and 16 years old. Looking at their day-to-day behavior, you'd be forgiven for thinking they're a bunch of Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: they routinely make bombs, hijack transport convoys and military vehicles, plant spies in critical places to subvert authority, free prisoners of war, blow up factories, sabotage power plants, destroy airfields, steal resources to live, and openly discuss their intentions to kill Dr. Robotnik, all in the name of saving their home planet.

Villain Decay: In the second season, Robotnik became a victim of Flanderization: his arrogance and pride were played way, way up while his tendency to manipulate the heroes and make quick and effective improvisation were almost totally erased, leaving him much more silly and much less competent than he had been before. By the end, even Snively is calling him out on his stupidity. Even his voice lightened up to reflect this change: it lost its creepy metallic filter, and Jim Cummings' started using a more comedic vocal range instead of the low, slow and intense tones he'd been using before.

Breather Episode
 Sonic SatAM / int_80a247a9
comment
Breather Episode: invoked Thanks to executive insistence that the show was too dark, the second season has two comedic episodes by mandate, both of which consisted of two 15 minute shorts rather than a full 30 minute episode. While the regular episodes had very dark themes, and were typically about the characters fighting Robotnik or uncovering clues from the past, the first of these irregular two-in-one episodes involves Antoine being kicked out of the Freedom Fighters and joining a gang of biker hyenas, and Sonic telling ghost stories to Tails and Antoine. The second two-in-one episode involves Sonic's house being destroyed during a snowstorm and moving in with Antoine, which drives him nuts, and the second segment was a more Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog-style episode where one of Rotor's robots falls in love with Antoine and keeps stalking him. As you can tell, Antoine is the most prominently featured character in these episodes.

Super Soldier: The SWATbots fit this trope in season 1: compared to the countless other generic robots Robotnik uses, the SWATbots represented a far superior danger: they were intelligent, incredibly tough and well organized. Only Sonic or Bunnie Rabbot could take them head on, and even then, they were both more likely to run: on occasion the SWATbots would even use specialized weapons to take Sonic down (such as portable Hedgehog-seeking missiles). In Season 2, the SWATbots were downgraded to standard, dumb Mecha-Mooks that any sufficiently skillful Mobian could defeat.

Left Hanging: The final episode ends with Robotnik's sinister plot to launch doomsday pods all over Mobius ruined, and the city of Robotropolis can return to Mobotropolis as Dr. Robotnik is left to an unknown fate. Sonic and Sally realize their emotions for each other and kiss. But that's not it—Snively tells Sonic not to be so happy as it's now his turn, and a mysterious red-eyed figure (revealed in a later interview to be Ixis Naugus) laughs threateningly. Sadly, the show was canceled after Disney took over ABC.

Also Ari, after capturing Sonic for Robotnik in return for releasing his Freedom Fighters. He sticks to his word and hands them back...robotocized, Ari himself barely avoiding the same fate. Shortly afterwards, though, he gets sucked into The Void.

Talented Princess, Regular Guy: Played with. While Sonic's Super Speed, Super Reflexes and Power Rings make him blatantly superhuman, he is somewhat average in terms of intellect. Even without his powers, he is good at Improv Fu and can be very perceptive. On the other hand, Princess Sally is a Badass Normal with incredible hacking and computing skills, almost as good a mechanic as Rotor and a trusted tactician.

What Happened to the Mouse?: The first season had at least one episode where Sally is searching for her father. In the second season, she finds him, but no attempt was made to connect it with the clues found in her previous searches. In "Blast to the Past", Sonic and Sally alter the past to ensure that their nanny survives to the present day, and it's revealed at the end of the episode that she does — and is never seen again. (To be fair, she probably would have become a recurring character in the following season, which never got made.)

Stating the Simple Solution: Thanks to his Flanderization in season 2, Robotnik would occasionally have Sonic at his mercy, and then proceed to take his sweet time dealing with him. Snively usually asks why Robotnik doesn't just roboticize him.

Despite being known for its refreshing lack of preachiness, the show has an accidental Family-Unfriendly Aesop in the Season 2 episode, "Game Guy." In this episode, the heroes meet a strange freedom fighter called Ari. Although Sonic wants to trust him, Sally wants to err on the side of caution. Eventually Ari leads Sonic into one of Robotnik's traps in exchange for the freedom of his own teammates. When it becomes apparent to Ari that Robotnik has no intention of honoring his end of the deal, he "proves" himself trustworthy by freeing Sonic from the trap, sacrificing himself in the process. At the end of the episode, Sonic gently chides Sally for not being trusting enough, and Sally admits she was wrong despite the fact that everything that happened in the episode proved that she was right. Note she does add playfully how careless Sonic had been however, which he can only sulkily accept.

They are later joined by a clumsy but good natured dragon and the fast hedgehog's robotized uncle. They band together to fight the evil Dr. Robotnik and free Mobitropolis from his control.

The Big Damn Kiss: Sonic and Sally share two big kisses in this series. Their first big kiss (in Hooked on Sonics) came about as a result of Sonic showing off to Sally how much better he was at kissing than she was. Interestingly enough, the kiss was slow and intimate - two things one wouldn't normally associate with someone like Sonic. Their second big kiss in "The Doomsday Project" came about after Robotnik's defeat. Unlike the first, it was completely spontaneous, and involved an abrupt mutual embrace.

Villainous Breakdown: Dr. Robotnik has one in the last episode: invoked That breakdown is also a Mythology Gag to Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog where Dr. Robotnik's Catchphrase was "I hate that hedgehog!" Robotnik suffers a more minor one in "Blast to the Past, Part 2." During this time travel adventure, it turns out that Sonic accidentally caused Robotnik's left arm to be unwillingly roboticised. (He spun him around and tripped him up near the Roboticiser, you see.) Robotnik was not happy.

Faux Affably Evil: In contrast to his more comedic portrayals in the rest of the franchise, Dr Robotnik is shown to be a complete sociopath with a goal to destroy all organic life on Mobius. He will happily take the shortest path to victory and has no qualms about killing or roboticizing literally everything and everyone that lives, including children. Despite all that, he is also well cultured and erudite.

The Revolution Will Not Be Villified: The Freedom Fighters take great care to avoid causing Collateral Damage, preferring things like sabotaging generators or uploading viruses into Robotnik's computer network over blowing up factories. Of course, this might have something to do with the fact that Robotnik's factories are typically staffed by roboticized Mobians. Also, the Freedom Fighters are in fact staging a counter-revolution, as Princess Sally is the daughter of the former ruler whom Robotnik deposed in his takeover.

Not So Above It All: Sally, though usually Only Sane Man to the other Freedom Fighters, could be arrogant and fallible at times. This more commonly happened in the first season.

His fear-driven demeanor throughout "The Void" in particular is quite clownish.

All Work vs. All Play: While this trope is completely averted the first season, in the second season, Sonic tends to treat missions to Robotropolis like a game and fool around, while Sally is a humorless workaholic who constantly berates him for being reckless. Sonic's careless attitude tends give an opening for the villains. See the entry for Flanderization for more details.

But then he mistakes Bunnie's praise of the latter for the opposite, fumbles Demonstration #2, and lands on Dulcy's foot. Distracted by the pain, she wrecks the hut they're in.

Heel–Face Brainwashing
 Sonic SatAM / int_9d90e013
comment
Heel–Face Brainwashing: For most "No Brainer", Snively, with the help of a "memory scrambler" device, has brainwashed Sonic into working for the bad guys, but by the end, the tables have turned, and Sonic brainwashes Snively. While he doesn't really force Snively into doing anything directly helpful for the good guys, Snively does physically attack Robotnik when he sees him, thanks to Sonic filling his freshly-laundered brain with insults about Robotnik. It doesn't end well for Snively. But then again, for Snively, nothing ever does.

Non-Lethal Warfare
 Sonic SatAM / int_9fb11776
comment
Non-Lethal Warfare: The series is set in a world where the heroes are a small band of Freedom Fighters struggling against difficult odds, so they had to have some losses eventually. However, the writers weren't allowed to show any death. The solution? Robotnik's main way of disposing of his enemies was to "roboticize" them—that is, use a machine to turn them into mindless robots that would follow his orders. This was very effective, as the person's personality essentially "died", and they were also forced against their will to act as Robotnik's soldiers. Robotnik's forces also used laser weapons, missiles, and so on, but they predictably never actually hit anyone. Early in the second season, a temporarily de-roboticized Uncle Chuck explains that the mind actually doesn't go away: the roboticized person is alive and fully aware of what is going on around them, but they cannot control themselves. In the first episode, the Freedom Fighters fend off Robotnik's robots by flinging water balloons at them. The rest of the season saw them use bombs for that same purpose.

It's Probably Nothing
 Sonic SatAM / int_a0efb4e7
comment
It's Probably Nothing: In Sonic and Sally, this trope is used, bizarrely, between two SWAT-bots — who you'd think would have no business having separate thoughts. The two bots are in a hoverpod which happens to detect Bunnie with a built in heat sensor. The pilot is about to open fire when the co-pilot mentions that substation electricity interferes with the heat sensors. They opt to ignore her heat signature and move on. Minimum AI necessary for guard units likely to encounter crafty intruders + Possibility of differing age/experience/previous assignments = Difference in thought/processing patterns.

Mechanical Monster: Reflecting their maker, most of Robotnik's machines are designed in the spirit of cold, ruthless efficiency.◊ However, he occasionally indulges himself in making more eccentric designs based on various animals.note Much like his counter part does in the game series◊ The animal designs are rare, and tend to be both larger and substantially more powerful than his standard machines.

Ascended Extra: invoked Tails started out in the series as a Tagalong Kid with moments of minor usefulness. In the second season, his role was substantially expanded in the last few episodes to TV Genius - the first time that Tails ever showed any great intelligence. He was also apparently supposed to become even more prominent if the show hadn't been canceled. Originally, Sally Acorn was a very minor character from the original Sonic The Hedgehog (specifically, she's one of Sonic's animal friends who Robotnik captured, and is freed when Sonic breaks her out of a badnik). She had her own official merchandise as early as 1991. The cartoon upgrades her to Sonic's love interest and main ally. Her presence in the cartoon made her so popular that an official statue of her standing alongside Sonic was placed near the entrance the SegaWorld theme park in Sydney, Australia.

Red Shirt: At the beginning of "Blast to the Past Part 1", along with Sonic and Sally, we are introduced to two freedom fighters we've never seen before - guess who get promptly robotised! Similarly Cat debuts at the start of "Sonic Boom" and while he gains some smidgeon of personality, he is quickly captured. Glaring case, since he isn't dealt with straight away, but Sally's (already long-cold) mission to find her father is treated as higher priority, with only Sonic really caring much about rescuing him...too late.

Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Sally supplies mainly in computer knowledge and hacking, but is also shown to have archeological knowledge and is implied to be as profound a mechanic as Rotor, not to mention the most dominant Only Sane Man of the team. Given a lot of this was expanded as her role became larger, it may also count as The Main Characters Do Everything.

Single-Episode Handicap: Done twice.

This is a role reversal of the Season 1 episode, "Warp Sonic", in which Sally was shown to be wrong for not listening to Sonic's claim of a mysterious Freedom Fighter named Griff being untrustworthy. The dichotomy between these episodes shows the difference in the character writing between the two seasons: Sonic playing the fool to Sally's unerring wisdom becomes a recurring theme in Season 2.

The Resolution Will Not Be Televised: Despite having a spin-off comic that uses the same characters and similar themes, this trope is fully averted. The comic had departed from the cartoon's plot so completely that it was impossible to adapt the Doomsday arc to the comic in any form. Only one episode of that arc, Cry of the Wolf, was adapted to the comic. It was also the only episode of the series that was ever directly adapted from the cartoon to the comic.

Stronger Than They Look: Though in the games Sonic is a Fragile Speedster, here he can both punch and kick with enough power to destroy armored robots note His ability to kick that hard makes sense given his speed, but one would not expect him to be able to punch with the same force, and when already running, he can throw things multiple times his size and far above his weight with his momentum. He is also the only Freedom Fighter aside from Rotor to have broken security cameras by simply throwing junk at them with ONE hand.

Armies Are Evil: During the Mobian Great War, Robotnik proposed to the King - Princess Sally's father - that he could win the war by personally leading an army entirely comprised of Peace-Bots (later known as SWATbots): robotic super soldiers of his own design. This landed him the job of being head of the King's War Ministry. After winning the war in the King's favor, Robotnik used that same army to overthrow the King in a Military Coup. Though the SWATbots are clearly able to think and act on their own, they are just machines: they are all programmed with a total and unwavering reverence to Robotnik and never fail to follow their orders, no matter how heinous, no matter how cruel.

Ascended Fridge Horror: The early video games did not explore the process of roboticization in much depth, other than implying that the robots were more like mecha being piloted by a brainwashed animal (hence why a random critter pops out of one and runs away when a Badnik is smashed) while Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and later games sidestep the issue by having Robotnik build all of his robots from scratch. This show thoroughly explores the agony, Body Horror, and Loss of Identity implicit in being transformed from flesh into an obedient robot.

Lighter and Softer: Season 2, compared to Season 1. Robotnik became more comical in tone, Antoine became much goofier than his season 1 persona: see the infamous "Margarine!" scene. Dulcy, a comical dragon, is also added to the main cast. It did, however, manage to keep dramatic storytelling intact, especially prior to the final episode. Also the pilot episode (the one where Sally was pink and the Freedom Fighters fended off a squadron of Buzz Bombers with water balloons) when compared to the rest of the first season.

Cassandra Truth: In "Sonic and Sally", Tails is the only one who knows that Sally has been replaced with a robot. Sally after she travels back in time and tries to convince her father than Julian is evil. A less serious example in "Spyhog". Antoine genuinely did rescue Sally during a mission, but he plays up the story so much as he's retelling it that it's no wonder Sonic didn't believe him.

Mortality Phobia: Nicole actually has this. After Sally and Bunnie go missing in The Void, Sonic, frantic with worry, asks Nicole where they went. Nicole tries to explain what happened using her typical Exact Words and computer speak ... which only frustrates the already frenzied Sonic into shaking her violently. Nicole quickly started experimenting with using Sonic's lingo to communicate. This was Chuck's motivation to build the Roboticizer. It was originally built to help the elderly live longer, but had the side effect of suppressing a person's free will.

Adaptational Wimp: Tails in the earlier games was a Lightning Bruiser who was almost as fast and powerful as Sonic. In order to give its original characters more screentime, the show changed Tails' role from Sonic's sidekick and main ally to a Tag Along Kid who only rarely ventured outside of Knothole Village and tended to play the role of Distressed Dude.

The Unfettered
 Sonic SatAM / int_d839c530
comment
Robotnik was plainly shown to be completely without limitations in his very first appearance in the Lighter and Softer pilot episode: it was made very clear that he actually would just kill or immediately roboticize any of his enemies at the first opportunity he got, with no warning or scruples. In the Darker and Edgier episodes that followed, this trait was only magnified, resulting in him using any personality flaws and or feelings of attachment he could see in others as weapons against them. This pragmatic part of him is very, very reduced in Season Two: while in his past he was able to make lengthy charades and carefully laid his plans to expand and maintain his power, in Season Two, Robotnik just can't resist wasting huge amounts of time gloating over his enemies instead of finishing them off. This extends to his entire motivation for conquering Mobius: in season one, he was in it to ensure that he alone was in control, the second season changed his motive to a love of how pollution smells.

Our Dragons Are Different: Dulcy the dragon is a complete klutz with a child-like mentality, and while she retains flight and other mythical powers, only once do we actually witness her breathe fire (to destroy an antenna). Instead, she breathes ice. Dragons also have kangaroo-like pouches where they hold their young, and according to Dulcy, newborns are fed off milk produced by their mother.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Sonic SatAM / int_d9ffec82
comment
At least one episode showed that Sonic can easily break into Robotnik's lair and deliver a Curbstomp Battle as a distraction. Why in over a decade of warfare has he never attempted to capture or destroy Robotnik this way is unexplainable. note It should be noted that the episode occurred in the second season, which as these pages show, was rampant with both Flanderization and Villain Decay: the SWAT-bots went from being terrifying war machines to easily destroyed cannon fodder, and Robotnik himself went from being scarily competent to mildly threatening. Given how much trouble Robotnik's base defenses were shown to give Sonic before, this plan would not have worked in season one by any means.

Lightning Bruiser: In the games, Sonic is traditionally a Fragile Speedster: while he's great at dodging, he's far from being the hardest hitter, and can't do much damage at all if he doesn't take the time to get up to speed first. Here, he can punch and kick robots with enough force to launch them several feet (though it makes sense that he could kick that hard), and when already running, he can use his momentum to throw armored things multiple times his size with enough force to shatter them. He is also the only Freedom Fighter to have broken security cameras by throwing junk at them...with ONE hand. Dulcy, being a dragon, is both very strong and very fast, especially when she "Cracks The Whip".

Adaptation Name Change
 Sonic SatAM / int_dc057cf3
comment
Adaptation Name Change: invoked The Archie comics adaptation changed several of the characters' names. Thanks to the heavy overlap of themes and characters between SatAM and the comics, and the comics' much longer run,many fans are unaware that the show HAS different names for some characters: "Robotnik" is revealed to be a pseudonym - his real name is Julian.note Given Robotnik's literal definition, this is definitely a Meaningful Rename. Contrast this with every other Sonic media, where his birth name is "Ivo Robotnik" and he takes the nickname "Eggman" after Sonic uses that name to insult him. The comics, in one of their many attempts at Canon Welding, gave him the birth name "Julian Kintobor", had him take the name "Ivo Robotnik" after he overthrew the monarchy. Then they had an alternate universe version him from the future take "Eggman" as his actual name sometime later. Very late into the comic's run, Bunnie Rabbot's Punny Name was retconned to be a disparaging nickname she couldn't shake. This isn't indicated or implied at all in SatAM (or even in the comics, until that point). Antoine Depardieu is known as Antoine D'Coolette in the comics. The sorcerer Naugus was renamed Ixis Naugus in the comics.

Functional Magic: In this cartoon, magic is itself a studied science. The episode "Super Sonic" features Lazaar, a wizard who built a literal Magical Computer with an index of specific spells. In addition, the Power Rings that Sonic uses are made from ambient magical energy harnessed through a machine made by Uncle Chuck. Because the Deep Power Stones generate the same type of energy as what's contained in the rings, Sonic can use them in the same way.

Art Evolution: Many character designs were changed for the second season, if even just slightly (like giving Bunnie pupils) or drastically (looking at Rotor, you wouldn't recognize him from season one to season two). Also, during season 1 the animators seemed much more concerned with their artwork keeping with the show's "realistic" physics. In season 2, although the characters seem more artistically complete, the focus on smaller details falters. Not quite Off-Model, more like Off-Scenery. Shading, actual muscle movements, and realistic ("gritty") fragmentation effects on the backgrounds as lasers hit walls are all examples.

Instead, she's a high-ranking member of the Freedom Fighters, which are led by Sonic. She also doesn't like to be called Princess as long as her throne isn't in her control.

Earth Drift: invoked In the pilot episode, Sonic mentions Axl Rose by name while playing an electric guitar. This is a show that takes place on Planet Mobius in the 33rd century. During an episode of the second season, Robotnik makes reference to "Topeka" but then immediately muses that he doesn't know where it is. No more references to real life places or people are made after this. It's worth noting that the original plan for Mobius was that it was post-apocalyptic Earth, though this is never expressly stated in the show itself thanks to it's premature cancellation.

Malicious Misnaming

comment
Malicious Misnaming: Sonic almost always refers to Robotnik as "Robuttnik." This originated in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and carried over to Sonic Underground and the Sonic comics based off the SatAM show.

The Starscream
 Sonic SatAM / int_eedee4d
comment
The Starscream: Snively constantly grumbles over having to serve the Doctor, but doesn't actually attempt to harm him. By the Second Season he has blatantly come to resent his uncle's abuse and makes a few shrewd plans behind his back (he once attempted an attack on Knothole while Robotnik was gone, as well as making alterations to his base that would ultimately save his life when it was destroyed). He simply plays along until Robotnik is electrocuted in the final episode, then is seen donning his uncle's trademark yellow cape. His voice does, however, resemble that of Starscream, especially considering both are/have been performed by Charlie Adler.

Throw Down the Bomblet: Though they will definitely use any weapon they can find, the preferred weapons of the Knothole Freedom Fighters tend to be absurdly powerful concussion grenades, which they use to destroy Robotnik's factories and other infrastructure. Additionally, the Wolfpack Freedom Fighters used thrown satchel charges to damage the Doomsday Test Pod.

A World Half Full: Dr. Robotnik takes over the world, turns most of it into polluted ruins, and turns everyone he captures into robotic slaves, so the people struggle day in and out just to live. The show's premise is as dark as an early nineties Funny Animal show can get. Then comes the heroes, who are bright and competent enough to screw the bad guy's plans continuously and spectacularly.

War Is Hell
 Sonic SatAM / int_f1d6144a
comment
War Is Hell: A kid-friendly version of this trope appears in most episodes. The fight for Mobius is a Civil War - Robotnik used to be the King's War Minister, and his opposition includes the King's daughter. Ben Hurst, the main writer of the show, insisted that the heroes should suffer some losses: Sonic and Sally both lost their father figures note Though Uncle Chuck was eventually able to resist Robotnik's control, the King can't exit the Void at all without dying, Tails lost both his parents, and Bunnie lost half of her body to the roboticizer. Several sympathetic characters are unceremoniously roboticized or thrown into the Void, never to be heard from again. Finally, the destructive aftermath of Robotnik's conquest can be seen everywhere on the planet.

Billions of Buttons: Parodied in "Sub Sonic" when Sonic sabotages Robotnik's oil drilling operation, though he takes out the drilling probes with their emergency destruct button first. ("I wonder what'll happen if I punch all these buttons? Only one way to find out!") He proceeds to do just that while singing a slight remix of the song he sang earlier in the episode, thus causing the drilling platform's destruction.

Never Say "Die": Nope. Death is very directly mentioned in multiple episodes.

I don't believe it..." the episode closes with them both climbing to safety. The Void, when Naugus and the King begin turning into crystal:

Science Is Bad
 Sonic SatAM / int_f68664dc
comment
Science Is Bad: This trope may seem like it's at play, but it's not. It's directly pointed out that Robotnik's machines are only evil because he uses technology to do evil things — not because technology is inherently bad in and of itself. Case in point, the Roboticizer was created by Uncle Chuck to allow elderly and terminally ill people to live longer: when he realized it also had the side effect of making them into mindless automatons, he immediately shelved it with the intention of not using it at all until and unless he could figure out a way to remove that side effect. Things only went bad when Robotnik stole it and started converting every Mobian he could get his hands on into a robotic slave.

Cyber Punk: The world has become an industrial nightmare. Cybernetics and other technologies have transformed society. Young streetwise punks flaunt the law, conducting guerrilla raids to overthrow a corrupt government. Coming off the heels of the 1980's, it's no surprise that this show would feature these themes. Interestingly enough, the essence of this trope is present in the earliest Sonic games, and still exists in Sonic Mania: as you get closer to Robotnik, you will see sprawling cities, humongous factories, and various pro-Robotnik propaganda.

With Friends Like These...: Sonic and Antoine. Antoine acts like a stuck-up jerk towards Sonic an awful lot, and Sonic constantly insults Antoine. While Sonic does show that he cares about Sally, Tails, Rotor, and Bunnie, it's really hard to tell if he cares at all about Antoine. In "Hooked on Sonics", when Antoine gets captured, Sonic just labels him an idiot and outright refuses to go after him. Sally is unable to really retort that Antoine would actually save him if the roles were reversed, only coaxing him into the job by reminding him of the potential danger if Robotnik gets a hold of the power ring he had at the point of his capture.

Will They or Won't They?: Antoine and Bunnie. It was hinted that Bunnie had a crush on Antoine, yet she put little effort into winning his heart. Probably because she was too insecure about her partially roboticized state and Antoine was too busy flirting with Sally anyway. (They did however get married in the Archie comics.)

Cut Short: The series ended on a cliffhanger in which Dr. Robotnik appeared to have died but his increasingly dissatisfied henchman Snively has plans to usurped his place as the series' primary antagonist, revealing a threatening new foe, shown out of the darkness with menacing red eyes. Whoever this new character was, viewers never found out, as the series was abruptly cancelled. Writer Ben Hurst revealed his plans for a third season where the mysterious red eyes belonged to Naugus, an Evil Sorcerer who Robotnik betrayed years prior. There was a long running comic adaptation by Archie comics, but because the comic strove to merge the other (often conflicting) versions of the franchise together, it fell short of serving as a conclusion for Sonic SatAM.
