What if Sonic the Hegehog was a Looney Tunes character, but with far less than the Golden Age Looney Tunes budget, and worse jokes? Adventures of Sonic the Hegehog is a fun series, but it's not perfect. There are animation errors, but they aren't as abd as in some DIC cartoon adaptations. The biggest problem with this series is unfortunately its heroes. Jaleel White turns in a decent performance as Sonic, but his characterization is not great for this wacky comedy version of Sonic. Though he acts as a good friend to Tails and isn't a jerk by any means, when he's actually trying to be funny it's just not that successful. The problem here is that Sonic isn't the underdog in this series. He's too powerful, too successful, and a bit too full of himself when he's trying to deliver jokes. He's a hard hero to root for. Tails meanwhile sounds like his voice actor won a contest to be in a cartoon.
As usual, Dr. Robotnik is the best part of the series. It doesn't matter whether it's a game, cartoon, or comic, Dr. Robotnik is consistently the most entertaining part. Total goof Robotnik, serious and threatening Robotnik, somewhere between, all are great. Somehow all of his English language voices have also managed to be great, and Long John Baldry is perfect for this interpretation of the character. This conceited, over the top taskmaster is hilarious, and his interactions with his goons are always entertaining.
At the time when the showed aired the Sonic Says segments were insulting, but now they can be pretty funny. The series in general is known for some of its accidentally funny content, and has been immortalized on the internet through YouTube Poops.
It's not the best Sonic series, but it's up there. If Sonic were written a bit differently it could have been even better, but as it stands it's a series where you're wanting to see more of the villain than the hero.
