History VideoGame / SonicsSchoolhouse

''Sonic's Schoolhouse'' is a 1996 PC EdutainmentGame developed by BAP Interactive and published by [[Creator/OrionPictures Orion Interactive]]. Here, VideoGame/{{Sonic|the Hedgehog}} owns a schoolhouse and teaches kids math, reading, and spelling from kindergarten to 4th grade.

* CivilizedAnimal: The students. The school bus videos describe the animals they are based on as if they are the same.

* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Going against ''Sonic'' tradition, where characters invert this trope by wearing nothing _but_ shoes (and gloves), all of the students are wearing full outfits (save the kangaroo, who's bottomless), but not a single one of them is wearing shoes. Due to the first-person viewpoint, though, you largely can't tell this outside of two-player.

* InNameOnly: Has almost nothing to do with the ''Sonic'' series aside from Sonic himself appearing and a bunch of Sonic artwork hung up inside the school. The only other ''Sonic''-related things to appear include cameos from Tails and Knuckles, along with Buzz Bombers, Motobugs, and Robotnick himself appearing as enemies in the schoolyard games.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Sonic's simple, cartoonish appearance contrasts heavily with those of the animal students' more realistic character designs.

* DolledUpInstallment: The graphics, gameplay and even Sonic's voice already make this pretty much a ''Sonic'' game InNameOnly, but people have dug through the game's files and discovered video files of a host who would be a talking clock, thus pretty much confirming this was merely a cash-grab.

Hell, Sonic's sprites weren't even originally produced for the game, they were recycled from the cancelled ''Sonic X-treme''.

* AWinnerIsYou: If you get all ten answers correct, you are treated to a short cutscene that sets at night outside which consists of Sonic holding up two sparklers while the sound of children cheering, followed by Sonic declaring "You got all ten right! Great job!".

The player moves around in a first person perspective similar to ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'', finding objects in the various rooms and matching them with the proper blackboards. Along the way, you can pick up Sonic icons to play one of two minigames (one has you collecting rings while the other is a memory matching game with statues) and school buses for field trips (you can watch educational videos about various animals).

* FridgeHorror: It's possible the students are normal animals taken from their homes and forced to learn human ways, given the designs, field trips, and the fact they only make animal noises. It is very possible that they are dead of old age or predation by the time of adventure.
