Sonic Underground

Mobius is the main setting of the Sonic Underground series. It is a planet inhabited by various sapient anthropomorphic animals, though they appear rather alien and are not always easily recognizable. The planet possesses a large aristocracy, while the vast majority of the population has over time become lower-classes who live in slums and squalor. Mobius itself appear to have two natural satellites orbiting it.

Mobius was originally ruled by Queen Aleena Hedgehog and her royal family, until the evil Dr. Robotnik took over by force. The aristocrats remain largely untouched by Robotnik's reign due to their wealth, while the lower-classes are fearful of being arrested at any time and roboticized. Standing up to the Robotnik Empire are the Resistance, led by Queen Aleena's children. Notably, on Mobius, buildings like temples, palaces and homes are made of metals and glass, and technology is far more advanced. For example, a saloon in the Wild West regions of Mobius is made of metals and glass instead of wood, and six-shooters and rifles use lasers instead of bullets. Even Aman-Rapi's pyramid is made of metal and glass rather than sandstone and marble. The only notable exception (so far) is Mobu Pinchu, which is located inside a cave with a "ancient" metallic city nearby. Even common objects such as baby baskets and grand pianos are made of metals and have a futuristic look.

The Camper Van, also called the Van, is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic Underground television series. It is a large wheeled transportation vehicle that serves as the Sonic Underground's primary transport and mobile headquarters.

The Camper Van mostly resembles a real-world campervan. The front of the Camper Van has a three-seater where the drivers can sit, and in the back there are beds on which the travelers can take a nap. It is equipped with hover-engines, allowing it to fly above ground, and is a very fast vehicle on its own, though nowhere near Sonic's speed.

The Camper Van can also house all the vital equipment Sonic, Manic and Sonia need on their missions, such as Sonia's dirt bike and Manic's hovercraft skate board. To load or unload the bigger equipment, the Camper Van has large doors in the back.

Despite his larger size and muscular body, Dingo is frightened of him and does whatever the latter tells him to do, and frequently does not understand an insult or parts of a sentence. Despite (or even due to) his incompetence, however, Dingo can be quite dangerous. However, while, Dingo's outward demeanor denotes a tough person, deep inside he is quite soft. Sometimes during his transformations, Dingo can be heard to say, "Oh, not again!", implying that he does not enjoy shapeshifting. He also appears to get scared very easily.

Powers: Dingo's main defining trait is his ability to be transformed into a variety of different forms and objects. Such transformations are activated by the Shapeshift Remote, as Dingo himself has no control over his transformations. Despite this, he usually retains his orange and yellow colors and voice patterns (although in some transformations his coloring and tone change). Due to his shapeshifting nature, Dingo can also harness chaos energy (accidentally and unwillingly), which transforms him into a monstrous version of himself with chaotic powers, and immunity to the Shapeshift Remote.

Sleet is one of the two secondary antagonists in the Sonic Underground television series. He is a former bounty hunter who now works under Dr. Robotnik. Because of his partner Dingo's incompetence, Sleet often uses him only for his useful ability to change into anything with the touch of Sleet's Shapeshift Remote, while Sleet thinks of and plans the missions to stop the Sonic Underground. Sometimes, he and Dingo think of plans that make them turn on Robotnik, but these never go well.

Appearance: Sleet is a wolf with gray fur and orange eyes. He wears a black bounty hunter suit with red body armor, a yellow emblem, and a blue-purple cape.

Personality: Sleet is a ruthless, sadistic, and greedy bounty hunter. He is a manipulative, cunning, and surprisingly competent villain, often remaining level-headed and is genuinely dangerous to the Sonic Underground, although this danger is often counteracted by Dingo's stupidity. On at least one occasion he's shown he's willing to turn on Dingo for a higher profit. Sleet is also treacherous, as seen when he strikes a deal with Vince who is willing to help him in return for money. Sleet promises to pay him in return for information, but when Vince says all he knows and asks for his money, Sleet does not keep his end of the bargain and instead has Vince roboticized. He has been shown to backstab Dr. Robotnik on several or a few occasions as well. He seems to be somewhat ignorant of plant life, as he regarded it as "all this green stuff" when he ordered Swatbots to destroy Lake Valley.

Doctor Robotnik is the main antagonist of the Sonic Underground television series. He is the evil dictator over Mobius who is assisted in his schemes by Sleet and Dingo. Dr. Robotnik is a brilliant scientist and a very intelligent strategist. He has developed various plans and machines, which he has used on various occasions against Sonic. Despite being obese, Robotnik is a really strong man capable enough to punch a flying robot to the ground with one hit.

Appearance: Robotnik has many different design changes. He is an incredibly obese man with a crazy long orange moustache, a bald head, and black eyes with red irises. He also has a roboticized arm after an unspecified incident that happened to him in the Underground.

Dr. Robotnik was modified specifically to look like he was a mechanic.

Personality: Robotnik is a self-centered and elitist control freak who desires absolute authority over everyone and everything, and he will go to extreme lengths to maintain his powerful position. He's also vain and ego driven, being determined to look good for the nobility of Mobius and ensuring he looks good when making speeches for the public.

Personality: Queen Aleena is caring and does her best to help her children - she once openly fired on a group of Swatbots and a Roboticizer to save Manic. Unlike Robotnik, she also cared about the people of Mobius, since before Robotnik ruled, everyone lived peacefully and prosperously.

He often contemplates that; unlike Sonic and Sonia; he never really had a home and the closest thing he had to family was the street urchins he was trained with. Well Manic gets defensive; when his old background is criticized, he grew up; without ever feeling he had a real home; until he met his siblings.

Sonic the Hedgehog is the titular main protagonist of the Sonic Underground television series.

Sonic can be, justifiably, arrogant about his speed and skills and can have difficulties working in a team or taking the time to plan. He is also somewhat vain, often bragging about his good looks. Sonic is extremely impatient and would rather handle all the jobs himself than wait for others to take care of it. However he will admit if he made a mistake, though usually not when anyone can hear him. His love of chili dogs remains and he tends to have poor etiquette, much to Sonia's disgust. He has a dislike of water and a near crippling fear of the ocean as he cannot swim, but his determination and bravery help him push through his fear if necessary. Above all else, he loves his brother and sister and can be very protective of them.

Sonic, Sonia, and Manic are the children of Queen Aleena, the rightful ruler of Mobius and are pursued relentlessly by Dr. Robotnik and his bumbling bounty hunters sidekicks, Sleet and Dingo. As infants, the siblings were separated and placed in hiding to fulfill a prophecy made by the Oracle of Delphius (a spoof on the Oracle of Delphi of Ancient Greece) that the triplets would grow up to find their estranged mother, overthrow Robotnik and take their places once more as Mobius' rightful rulers.

The three siblings possess enchanted medallions that transform not only into musical instruments, but also into weapons:

Sonic: electric guitar and laser rifle. Sonia: keyboard and laser rifle. Manic: drum kit which has the ability to control seismic activity (triggering earthquakes, rockslides, etc.). Aside from doing battle with Robotnik, with their medallions in instrument form, the trio perform as their underground rock band, the Sonic Underground.
