Decades before the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movies brought the Blue Blur to the big screen, Sega’s flagship platformer series was adapted to the small screen with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, a 65-episode cartoon that aired back in 1993. The series made a comeback with a physical release in 2022, and right now you can snag Adventures of Sonic Complete TV Series on Blu-ray for $36 at Amazon (was $60). This is one of the lowest prices ever for this awesome two-disc set, so nostalgic Sonic fans may want to scoop it up while they can.

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Complete TV Series Blu-ray set includes all 65 main episodes of the series, plus a bunch of extras like the Sonic Christmas Blast Episode, pilot episode, and all the “Sonic Says” PSA bumpers that originally aired alongside each episode. All the content is presented in its original standard definition resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio. There are also commentary tracks on select episodes featuring storyboard artist Milton Knight.
Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is notable as one of the first high-profile adaptations of a Sega game, capitalizing on the character’s popularity in North America. The series stars Jaleel White–best known for playing Urkel in the sitcom Family Matters–as the voice of Sonic, and features a long list of familiar sidekicks and villains, including Tails (Russi Taylor) and Dr. Robotnik (Long John Baldry). While subsequent TV shows, comics, and movies have filled Sonic’s backstory even more, back in the ’90s, this show gave fans their first look into the Sonic universe beyond the video games.
