Sonic Boom is a U.S.-French 3d animated cartoon based on the Sonic video games. It's a co-production originally done in the English language between Sega of U.S.A. and OuiDo productions in France and others. This show is famous on the internet for making references to memes and poking fun at Team Sonic and Friends.
Video games[]
A pair of video games that serve as prequels for the series were released for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems in November 2014.[1] The Wii U version, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, was developed by Big Red Button Entertainment and the 3DS version, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, by Sanzaru Games. The games were announced alongside the TV series' first trailer on February 6, 2014 and serve as prequels to the series. Rise of Lyric sees players alternate control between Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy. The game utilizes each of their abilities—Sonic's speed, Tails' flight, Knuckles' strength and Amy's agility—allowing two players to play cooperatively and four players competitively. Shattered Crystal lets players control Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Sticks and places more emphasis on platforming and puzzle-solving than the more adventure-oriented Rise of Lyric. Rise of Lyric received absolute critical lambastment and became notable for its mostly negative reception from critics, who criticized its gameplay, story, low quality visuals, level design and glitches and is now the lowest selling Sonic game ever.[2] On June 20, 2014, it was confirmed that both games would be released on December 18 in Japan under the name of Sonic Toon.[3] A third game, Fire & Ice, was for Nintendo 3DS in September 2016.[4] Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom, a follow-up to the free-to-play Sonic Dash, was released on Android devices on July 1, 2015.[5] Since her debut in the show, the character Sticks has gone on to be featured in peripheral Sonic titles that are not part of the Boom brand, such as Sonic Runners and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.[6][7]
