Season 3 of Sonic Prime was So Good.
Pros: I liked that they didn’t hold anything back with the stakes in this season. Surprising to see the chaos council teaming with sonic and his friends that was a nice twist. A lot of action to be had here. Sonic goes through a character growth, and I am glad how everything wrapped up.
Cons: At times they do skip through serious moments.
Voice Casts:
- Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Deven Mack): A blue anthropomorphic hedgehog with the power to run at supersonic speeds. Despite being cocky, egotistical, and careless at times, he cares deeply for his friends and works hard to protect the world from Dr. Eggman. In the different parts of the Shatterverse, Sonic’s footwear grants him different abilities, such as electric capabilities in New Yoke City, climbing walls in the Boscage Maze, hovering across water in No Place, and generating hexagonal platforms and shields in the Grim.
- Dr. Eggman (voiced by Brian Drummond): An evil genius with an IQ of 300 who is Sonic’s arch-nemesis and seeks to use the Paradox Prism for his plans.
- Miles “Tails” Prower (voiced by Ashleigh Ball): An anthropomorphic fox who is Sonic’s best friend and genius inventor and can fly with his twin tails.
- Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Adam Nurada): A red anthropomorphic echidna who likes to punch with his large fists.
- Amy Rose (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent): A pink hedgehog who loves nature and wields her Piko Piko Hammer.
- Rouge the Bat (voiced by Kazumi Evans): A jewel-loving anthropomorphic bat who works as a spy.
- Shadow the Hedgehog (voiced by Ian Hanlin): A black hedgehog whose air shoes allow his speed to rival Sonic’s. As a result of using Chaos Control, he was not split off into the Shatterverse like the rest of Sonic’s friends. After seeing the damage the Prism’s shattering caused, he makes it his mission to stop Sonic from causing any more damage and help him fix his mistake.
- Big the Cat (voiced by Ian Hanlin): A purple anthropomorphic cat who likes to fish and is commonly seen with his pet frog Froggy.
- Orbot and Cubot (both voiced by Deven Mack): Dr. Eggman’s robotic henchmen with less-than-average competence. Orbot is the red, sphere-shaped robot while Cubot is the yellow cube-shaped robot. Unlike other characters, Orbot and Cubot do not have counterparts in the Shatterverse.
The Grim:
- Nine (voiced by Ashleigh Ball): Tails’ counterpart from New Yoke City. After being constantly bullied for his twin tails, he built seven additional mechanical tails to prove himself and get revenge. He was originally an ally of Sonic’s, but later becomes his enemy and seeks to use the Paradox Prism to build his own ideal reality.
New Yoke City:
- Rusty Rose (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent): Amy’s counterpart from New Yoke City. She is a cyborg who was formerly controlled by the Chaos Council, but joins Dread’s crew after the Chaos Council deserts her. She and Black Rose took command of Dread’s crew after Dread betrayed them for one of the Prism Shards.
- Rebel Rouge (voiced by Kazumi Evans): Rouge’s counterpart from New Yoke City. She is the leader of the Resistance, which opposes the Chaos Council.
- Renegade Knucks (voiced by Vincent Tong): Knuckles’ counterpart from New Yoke City, who is a member of the Resistance.

- Dr. Don’t (voiced by Vincent Tong): A teenage member of the Chaos Council who is lazy and frequently plays video games, but is a skilled programmer. He can control the Eggforcers with his controller.
- Dr. Babble (vocal effects by Vincent Tong): An infant member of the Chaos Council who, despite his young age, is as physically and intellectually capable as the other members. Although he only makes baby noises, the other members of the council appear to understand what he is saying.
- Denizen 1998 (voiced by Ian Hanlin): Big’s counterpart from New Yoke City.
- Chaos Sonic (voiced by Deven Mack): A robot created by the Chaos Council who resembles Sonic and matches him in speed and abilities. His personality is a heavily exaggerated version of Sonic’s, much to the latter’s annoyance. Being a robot version of Sonic, he is similar to Metal Sonic.

- Squad Commander Red (voiced by Rachell Hofstetter): A member of the Resistance.

No Place:
- Knuckles the Dread (voiced by Vincent Tong): Knuckles’ counterpart from No Place who is the captain of his ship, the Angel’s Voyage. He is seemingly laid-back, and, unlike the rest of his crew, appears to show trust in Sonic immediately. Black Rose and Rusty Rose later take command of his crew after he betrays them for one of the Prism Shards.
- Black Rose (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent): Amy’s counterpart from No Place, who is a member of Knuckles the Dread’s crew. She and Rusty Rose later take command of Dread’s crew after he betrays them for one of the Prism Shards.

- Batten Rouge (voiced by Kazumi Evans): Rouge’s counterpart from No Place, who is a member of Knuckles the Dread’s crew and shows loyalty to the current captain.
- Catfish (voiced by Ian Hanlin): Big’s counterpart from No Place, who is frequently seen playing music for the crew to sing songs to.
- Jack (voiced by Seán McLoughlin): A former member of Knuckles the Dread’s crew. After a voyage caused the crew to lose their ship, he and the other crew members left Dread and formed their own crew, with him as the leader.
