The package comes with two DVDs,\nwhich include 26 episodes.&nbsp; What is nice is the gift set comes with two\ntoys, Knuckles and Tails.&nbsp; Sonic (Roger Craig Smith) is a blue hedgehog\nthat has a sidekick, Tails, who helps him in his adventures. Sonic\u2019s friends &#8211;\nKnuckles (Sebastian Desjours), Amy (Cindy Robinson) and Sticks (Nika Futterman)\n&#8211; help him attack his arch nemesis Dr. Eggman (Mike Pollock).&nbsp; Each\nepisode has a different story line.&nbsp; The episodes do not follow a\nsequence, which it means that each episode is always a different adventure and\nthat&#8217;s what makes it so entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The graphics are amazing and the colors are very\nbright.&nbsp; The voice-overs are funny and they fit each character.&nbsp; The\nmusic is okay. I especially like the theme song, which is very catchy.&nbsp; My\nfavorite episode is \u201cBro Down Showdown,\u201d because it\u2019s extremely funny.&nbsp; It\nis about how Amy had to leave for a little bit, so Sonic and Knuckles ask her\nif they can stay at her house while she is gone.&nbsp; Amy says yes, but there\nis one rule &#8211; no foolish things in her house.&nbsp; So the first thing they do\nis eat nachos and spill on the couch.&nbsp;&nbsp;Conveniently a commercial\ncomes on saying, &#8220;if you win the best bros contest you win a brand new\ncouch.&#8221; They immediately enter the contest.&nbsp; It turns out Dr. Eggman\nis spying on them.&nbsp; He arrives and starts bickering with Sonic about a\nbogus little thing.&nbsp; A guy working there sees them fighting and pairs them\nup, even though Knuckles is going to be Sonic\u2019s buddy.&nbsp; Knuckels finds a\nnew partner and tries to win the couch.&nbsp; This is my favorite episode\nbecause this all happens, just because they spilled a nacho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/translate_this___sonic_knuckles_amy_and_sticks_by_sonicboomgirl23_dbxix9x-pre.jpg?resize=225%2C126&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5579\" width=\"225\" height=\"126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/translate_this___sonic_knuckles_amy_and_sticks_by_sonicboomgirl23_dbxix9x-pre.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/translate_this___sonic_knuckles_amy_and_sticks_by_sonicboomgirl23_dbxix9x-pre.jpg?resize=1024%2C575&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/translate_this___sonic_knuckles_amy_and_sticks_by_sonicboomgirl23_dbxix9x-pre.jpg?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/translate_this___sonic_knuckles_amy_and_sticks_by_sonicboomgirl23_dbxix9x-pre.jpg?w=1193&amp;ssl=1 1193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The moral to the stories is about \u201cteamwork making the dream\nwork,\u201d because in each episode Sonic is helped by his sidekick and best friend,\nto either defeat Dr. Eggman or to enjoy their different adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give&nbsp;<em>Sonic Boom, Season 1, Volume 2<\/em>, 5 out of\n5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, but adults can watch it with their\nkids and may find it amusing too.

In every episode, Sonic and his friends protect their village from\nthe evil Dr. Eggman. Of course, no matter how crazy the situation, Sonic and\nfriends are able to save the day in the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some\nreally funny storylines, like when Sonic and Knuckles spill nacho cheese on\nAmy\u2018s couch while house-sitting. They try cleaning it up with grape soda, which\njust makes it worse! Their next idea is to try to win a new couch by going on a\ngame show, but they fail and one of Dr. Eggman\u2019s missiles ends up exploding the\ncouch anyway. In another episode, it\u2019s hilarious when Sonic grabs the last\nchili dog that Dr. Eggman wanted, so to be nice Sonic goes all the way to the\nwarehouse to bring his nemesis a chili dog. But Dr. Eggman wanted extra relish,\nso he throws a tantrum by trying to destroy the whole town by shooting it with\nlasers and attacking it with robots. Of course this is nothing Sonic and\nfriends can\u2019t handle. One of the best jokes is when the boys compete against\nthe girls in a survivor challenge. The girls decide the losers will have to do\neveryone\u2019s laundry, but Sonic says, \u201cThat\u2019s not fair for us boys \u2013 we don\u2019t\neven wear pants!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/47120842ca91e5496_w.jpg?resize=225%2C127&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5575\" width=\"225\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/47120842ca91e5496_w.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/47120842ca91e5496_w.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of\nthis series is that friends are stronger together. There\u2019s probably not a lot\nof content that parents will object to, but there is some cartoon violence that\nkids might be tempted to copy. The only thing that\u2019s a problem for me is that\nthere is one episode out of the 26 that\u2019s only available with Spanish audio, no\nEnglish at all. Unfortunately I can\u2019t understand what they\u2019re saying in the\nepisode, \u201cFire in a Crowded Workshop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give this\nseries 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 3 to 12, and adults might\nenjoy watching with their kids as well. <em>Sonic\nBoom: Season 1 Volume 2 <\/em>isavailable on DVD February 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonic Boom Season 1, Volume 2&nbsp;<br>By Denise B., KIDS FIRST!

But, it is\nappropriate for children ages 5 through 12. I like that it shows teamwork and\nfriendship, and all of the action makes it very entertaining to watch. The\ncharacters are very likable; my favorites are Sonic and Amy. I like that the\ncharacters are unique and each brings something to the show. Of course, Dr. Eggman\nis not a favorite of mine, but he also makes the series entertaining, especially\nsince Sonic and his pals usually outwit him. I give this 4 out of 5 stars for\nits entertainment value. This DVD would make a great gift for a Sonic fan, since\nit is a Limited Edition Gift Set that includes Knuckles and Tails figurines.
