History WesternAnimation / SonicBoom

** Amy's handwraps and {{sarashi}}, too, are justified by the [[{{BFS}} ginormous]] [[DropTheHammer hammer]] she carries.

* LighterAndSofter: Obviously more lighthearted than ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'', ''WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground'' and ''Anime/SonicX'' but even compared to ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' this series is much softer with the emphasis almost entirely on comedy and Eggman being more of a SitcomArchNemesis than a world-conquering megalomaniac.

* AbsentAnimalCompanion: In the episode "[[Recap/SonicBoomS1E4Buster Buster]]", after Sticks shakes a kitten out of a tree, Amy decides to get Sticks a pet to teach her the responsibilities of animal care. When Sonic takes Sticks to the pet store, Sticks finds every pet there too cute, fuzzy, and adorable for her tastes. She then finds a disgusting robot dog that spits slime in a trash can and names him "Buster". Buster quickly annoys Sticks' friends, and it is later revealed that Buster was created by Dr. Eggman. When Buster transforms into a monster and attacks Sticks' friends, Sticks disciplines him to get him back to his normal self. At the end of the episode, Sticks lets Buster go, having found out he's an evil robot unfit to keep as a pet. Buster has not been seen or referenced since.

* BabysittingEpisode: "Three Men and My Baby!" involves Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles taking care of Lady Walrus' youngest son, Chumley, after they accidentally injure her.

* {{Expy}}:

** "The Biggest Fan" take some shots at obsessive annoying fans. The character of the week, Mark the Tapyr, has been interpreted as inspired by [[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Chris Chan]], but [[WordOfGod Bill Freiberger denies this.]]

** The whole plot of "You and I Bee-come One" is a parody of ''Film/TheFly'''s.

** Sticks the Jungle Badger to [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Marine the Raccoon]]. Her hair and choice of weaponry resembles those of [[VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia Aika]].

* OedipusComplex: In the French version of "Closed Door Policy", Eggman protests that he doesn't have an Oedipus complex when Amy claims that the spider-bots came from deep-seated mother issues, only to [[IResembleThatRemark cry out for his mother when Sonic kicks the spider-bots back at him]]. In the English version they say "mother issues" instead.

* AnimationBump: The pilot episode of the series has smooth, expressive, animation (akin to animation by Marza Animation Planet), detailed shading, and has Sonic actually run fast instead of running slow with a blur effect behind him. Needless to say, the rest of the episodes of season 1 look ''very'' different from the pilot.

* AnimationBump: As Season One progressed, the show's animation got increasingly more fluid and rubbery, with a better display of facial expressions and posing; come Season 2 and the quality is on a much more consistent level of high quality.

-->'''Eggman:''' If you know everything, Mr. and Mrs. "Know Everything", where's ''your'' camera, ''your'' robots?! Neither one of you even has a beret!

** Eggman's love of the Fuzzy Puppies board game, as first revealed in "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies", is brought up again in "The Evil Dr. Orbot". Naturally, Amy is the first to reference it, seeing as she also loves the game and the two bonded over it in the former episode.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Almost all of Eggman's robots, with the exception of Cubot and Orbot, are all designed to only fulfill a certain purpose (generally combat-related), and do badly when forced by Eggman to work outside that function; in "Strike!", when Cubot and Orbot go on [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin strike]] for being poorly treated, Eggman tries to use another robot to clean up a mess he made, but all of them, particularly Burn-Bot and Ballot Bot, do nothing but make the mess worse because the former can only burn things, and the latter was designed to stuff ballots.

* ToTheBatnoun: Parodied in Episode 16.
-->'''Eggman:''' To the Egg Mobile! ''(Cue Batman-style transition with Eggman's logo)''

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Amy and Sticks get humiliated and thrown around as indiscriminately as the male heroes.

* RockIsAuthenticPopIsShallow: In "Battle of the Boy Bands", Amy and Sticks are taken in by an {{Expy}} of Music/JustinBieber named "Justin Beaver". However, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles remain unaffected, and eventually learn that it's because [[MindControlMusic Justin Beaver is unintenionally brainwashing all of the island's female residents]], thanks to a scheme from a CorruptCorporateExecutive behind Justin's music. In order to break the brainwashing, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles get onstage at Justin Beaver's concert, singing a song that insults pop music with lyrics like "You should expect the expected, and nothing more, 'cause you've all heard this song and dance before". The trio of boys then takes out instruments and changes it to a rock tune, which breaks the spell.

** While Amy's crush on Sonic was one sided just like in the rest of Sonic media, this started to change towards the end of Season 1, as the series began to drop hints that Sonic may like her back (for example, he reacts with distress when Knuckles suggests in "Fuzzy Puppy Buddies" that she might be dating someone, and dejectedly says "Guess it's my own fault. You snooze, you lose." in "Alone Again, Unnaturally" when she believes Tails and Amy may be dating).
