Trivia about Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog

It was one of the Spanish network's last co-productions, before the network announced a creative shift in 1994.

According to Robby London, DIC originally made a deal to produce only the Saturday morning Sonic series for the ABC network, which was originally planned to air in the Fall of 1992, coinciding with the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, as well as the original Sonic the Hedgehog 4-issue miniseries by Archie Comics.

The cartoon was to be more light-hearted compared to the final product, as reflected by the episode "Heads or Tails", early promotional material found in Fleetway's Sonic the Comic and the early issues of Sonic the Hedgehog comics by Archie, which were based on the Saturday morning Sonic cartoon.

Afterward, ABC was at first willing to air only a single half-hour episode as a prime-time special scheduled for March 1993 (which would become the episode "Heads or Tails") before ultimately delaying it and including it as part of the show which ABC picked up again for a full season, finally airing in the Fall of 1993, alongside Adventures airing in syndication at the same time.

Pre-production stages of the show (as well as the first season of the Saturday morning cartoon) were handled by Canadian Studio B (later known as DHX Media Vancouver).

Tele 5 was already active in co-productions with companies such as BRB Internacional and, through its Italian parent Reteitalia, with DIC.
