	AoStH

Ah, AoStH. First off, I'd like to say ALL the non-anime Sonic cartoons portrayed me to look absolutely RIDICULOUS, nothing like my Sega design.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was the first Sonic cartoon series, made by Dic Entertainment. Basically, in it, Robotnik and the "Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad", made up of Scratch and Grounder, would try whatever it took to get rid of Sonic the Hedgehog, his sidekick Tails, and any other meddling heroes.

The good thing about Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was its comedy. I don't care what a lot of Sonic sites say- I personally found AoStH to be hillariously funny. The comedy used in it was great. Another plus is that while the story was way off from the game version of Sonic, they did stick a LOT closer to the games than SatAM and SU did.

The one huge flaw AoStH had was its animation. The animation seemed to lack effort at times, and seemed very rushed. Considering this is an early 90's animation, it's really outdated for its time. I know Dic's budget was pretty low on AoStH, but nicer animation would've been, well, nicer.

Overall, though, if you can just deal with the rushed art, AoStH is a fun series to watch. With a great cast of characters, immense humor, and surprisingly original episodes at times, I'd say its definetely a good series.

DIFFERENCES FROM THE GAMES: Well, of course, AoStH refers to the planet as "Mobius", though the SoJ storyline takes place on Earth. The AoStH Robotnik design, also, looks NOTHING like classic Eggman's design(see bottom of the page for more info on that). Also, Chaos Emeralds are in this series, but rather than seven, there's FOUR. And each one looks uniquely different. AoStH differed from the games in a lot of areas, but remained truer than most of the cartoons.

A rather...er, interesting early model sheet for the AoStH Robotnik design: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/padkin/robotnikmodelpagebig.gif (Thanks to Jessica Padkin's Eggman/Robotnik Fansite for the reference!) I have no comment on this whatsoever, but it is indeed the official AoStH character model sheet for Robotnik.
