Sonic Boom is a cool animated TV show from America and France. It uses CGI animation, which means it's made with computers, like many modern cartoons. The show is based on the popular Sonic the Hedgehog video game series by Sega.
This series is the fifth TV show about Sonic. It's special because it's the first one made with CGI and in HD (high definition), which makes the pictures super clear! Sonic Boom first aired in November 2014. It's part of a bigger Sonic Boom world that includes three video games, a comic book series, and even toys.

Who are the Characters in Sonic Boom?
Sega announced the characters and voice actors for Sonic Boom in 2014. A new character, Sticks the Badger, joined the team. She is voiced by Nika Futterman. The show also created other new characters like Mayor Fink and Fastidious Beaver.
Main Heroes and Villains
- Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) – Sonic is the super-fast blue hedgehog and the leader of the team. He is brave and kind, but sometimes he can be a bit impatient or sarcastic. Unlike other versions, this Sonic has blue arms and wears a cool neckerchief.
- Miles "Tails" Prower (voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey) – Tails is Sonic's best friend and sidekick. He's a yellow fox with two tails, which let him fly! Tails is the youngest of the group and a genius inventor. He wears goggles and a tool belt, always ready to fix things or create new gadgets.
- Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Travis Willingham) – Knuckles is the strong muscle of Team Sonic. In Sonic Boom, he's much taller and more muscular than usual. He's very strong but can sometimes be a bit silly or not very smart, which can annoy his friends.
- Amy Rose (voiced by Cindy Robinson) – Amy is a pink hedgehog who is full of energy. She fights with a giant hammer. Amy likes Sonic, but she tries to keep it a secret in this show. She's often the most sensible one in the group, helping everyone stay focused.
- Sticks the Badger (voiced by Nika Futterman) – Sticks is a wild badger from the jungle. She's great with boomerangs and staffs. Sticks can seem a little crazy sometimes, but her unique way of thinking often helps the team solve problems no one else could.
- Doctor Eggman (voiced by Mike Pollock) – Eggman is the main bad guy and Team Sonic's biggest enemy. He's a mad scientist who lives in a lair near the island. In this series, his plans are often more annoying than truly dangerous. Sometimes, he even seems friendly with the heroes, but it usually leads to a new scheme to take over the island.
- Orbot (voiced by Kirk Thornton) – Orbot is Eggman's red, round robot helper. He's the more serious of Eggman's two robots and often speaks his mind, even if it means correcting Eggman.
- Cubot (voiced by Wally Wingert) – Cubot is Eggman's yellow, cube-shaped robot helper. He's more childish and often misunderstands what people mean.

- Belinda (voiced by Colleen Villard) – A goat who lives in Hedgehog Village. She is Charlie's wife.
- Charlie (voiced by Kirk Thornton) – A desert rat and archaeologist. He becomes a villain after getting frustrated with Knuckles.

Sonic Boom in Other Media
Video Games
Two video games were released in November 2014 that tell stories before the TV show. Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was for the Nintendo Wii U, and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal was for the Nintendo 3DS.
In Rise of Lyric, you can play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy. Each character has special abilities, like Sonic's speed or Tails' flight. You can play with friends too! Shattered Crystal focuses more on platforming and solving puzzles.
A third game, Fire & Ice, came out for Nintendo 3DS in September 2016. There's also a mobile game called Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom, released in July 2015. Sticks, the new character from the show, has even appeared in other Sonic games like Sonic Runners.
Books
In early 2016, some children's books based on Sonic Boom episodes were released in France. They were part of the Bibliotheque Verte collection.
Comics
A comic book series based on Sonic Boom started in October 2014 by Archie Comics. Ian Flynn was the writer, and Evan Stanley was the artist. Some issues were also written by Bill Freiberger, who worked on the TV show.
The comics were praised for their humor and clear art style. They sometimes even broke the fourth wall, meaning characters would talk directly to the reader! The Sonic Boom comic series ended after 11 issues in September 2015. However, stories with the characters continued in other comic books.
