History Trivia / AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog

* ActingForTwo: Katella and Mama Robotnik are both voiced by Kathleen Barr. When she was playing Mama Robotnik in "Zoobotnik", she made her voice lower and gruffer than she had sounded previously.

* CrossDressingVoices: In one of the European Portuguese dubs, Sonic was voiced by a female, Susana Menezes.

** [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes The classic animated shorts from Warner Bros.]] were also likely an inspiration. Compared to the games, this show portrays Sonic and Robotnik's rivalry more along the lines of WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner. It even features similar gags. Furthermore, Sonic very commonly utilizes disguises to fool his enemies, much akin to Bugs Bunny. Tails even sometimes gets in on it.

** The slower version of "Hall of the Mountain King", most famous instance being when Sonic gives his PSA on sexual harassment, that appears as incidental music was never intended to be Scratch and Grounder's theme. They share a leitmotif with Robotnik, but in a slower dopier arrangement, most notably when he says [[MemeticMutation you know what]].

* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: Aside from Creator/JaleelWhite as Sonic, the ending credits lists the voice actors and not which characters they voiced.

** [[{{Badbutt}} Sonic]] was voiced by none other than Jaleel White, who was also known for playing [[ExtravertedNerd Steve Urkel]] in ''Series/FamilyMatters''.

** The episode "Mass Transit Trouble" was stricken from the airwaves ''twice''. The first time was in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing because of the episode's references to terrorism. The second time was during Creator/ToonDisney[='=]s run, in the aftermath of the [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror September 11th attacks]].[[note]]Before then, Toon Disney decided to {{Bowdlerise}} one scene where Sonic finds a bomb under a chair when they aired it prior to the attacks.[[/note]] The Toon Disney version of episode was circulating on Website/YouTube for a couple of years before the uncut episode was finally given a proper release on DVD, thanks to Creator/ShoutFactory. It also survives on Creator/{{Netflix}}, Creator/{{Peacock}} and Creator/ParamountPlus.
** "Magnificent Sonic" was banned by Toon Disney for a short while after the Columbine shooting due to all the guns featured in the episode. Like the previous episode, it's on Netflix, Peacock and Paramount+.

* DuelingDubs: There are two Brazilian Portuguese dubs - one produced by VTI, and another made in 2021 by All Dubbing Group. The second one [[GagDub become infamous for its excessive usage of 2020s Internet humor]], [[TotallyRadical forced usage of Gen Z slang]] as well as mentions of nowadays products such as [[AnachronismStew the TikTok website]].

** The abstract, Jackson Pollock-esque backgrounds? The thin, nonsensical plots? The loose, OffModel animation? Yeah, a lot of this show was, shall we say, ''inspired'' by ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. This is justified in that a number of ex-''Ren & Stimpy'' crew members actually ''worked'' on the show.

* FountainOfExpies: [[BumblingHenchmenDuo Scratch and Grounder]] have had several over the course of the ''Sonic'' series, despite mostly being contained to this show (and the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics comics]]), generally filling the role of a BumblingHenchmenDuo that work for Robotnik/Eggman and fail just about every time. In order of appearance, there's [[WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground Sleet and Dingo]], [[Anime/SonicX Decoe and Bocoe]], and the most recent examples: [[VideoGame/SonicColors Orbot]] [[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld and]] [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom Cubot]]. Suffice it to say, the duo left a bigger impact on the franchise than anticipated.

** [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes The classic animated shorts from Warner Bros.]] were also likely an inspiration.

** ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' may have had some influence on this show, considering that the animation company TMS actually did work on all of those shows as well as ''Sonic''.

* FakeAmerican: Everyone in the main cast besides Creator/JaleelWhite was based in Vancouver. This was especially obvious concerning Robotnik, since Music/LongJohnBaldry made [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent absolutely zero attempts to mask his native British accent]].

** The Sonic Says segment in "Over the Hill Hero" claims that moss grows the thickest on the northern side. This is completely wrong. Moss doesn't care about directions and grows thickest on the moistest side, regardless of which direction it's facing.[[note]]Admittedly, ''[=AoStH=]'' isn't the only series that’s claimed this.[[/note]]
** The Sonic Says segment for "Pseudo Sonic" claims that there are no poisonous flowers on Earth.[[note]]In this case, they are referring to a cartoon-exclusive breed of flower that acts akin to poison ivy/sumac that makes the victims gain a massive BalloonBelly from swelling.[[/note]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_poisonous_flowers In reality, there are at least a few dozen of them]].

* CreatorBacklash: Animation director Pierre De Celles described [[https://animesuperhero.com/pierre-de-celles-on-animating-sonic-the-hedgehog-and-other-tales/ in an interview]] that "Big Daddy" was an episode he felt "really proud of," though he described the editing as "poor." He described the animation process as taking "4 times longer than usual" since the animator of the episode was a deaf-mute; He described his translator as "just great."
