Sonic the Hedgehog has had his ups and downs and downs and more downs, but undoubtedly his darkest moment is 1999's ill-advised Kidz Bop spin-off known as Sonic Underground. Grave Gang takes a sobering look at a show that asks the question, "How far past the breaking point can we push Jaleel White?" We'll examine the show's love of Contemporary Christian Rock music; mercenaries with submissive object transformation humiliation kinks; the deeply flawed economic system of Robotnik's authoritarian government; and robot babies that gain sentience and the ability to feel pain and terror minutes before they explode.
