A short blurb from Shout Factory about Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog Volume 1: The fastest thing alive is back! Join Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails as they defend Mobius from the evil Dr Ivo Robotnik and his notorious gang of robots.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is an American Animated Series that started in 1993, based on the extremely popular Sega Sonic the Hedgehog game. The show is about the escapades of Sonic and his friend Miles “Tails” Prower as they do their best to stop the evil Dr Ivo Robotnik and his minion from taking over the planet of Morbius. This volume is the first 22 episodes of the first incarnation of the series that had a total of 65 episodes. Jaleel White of “Family Matters” fame was the voice of Sonic and Christopher Evan Welch voices his friend “Tails”.
