There was several different Sonic cartoons that I used to watch as a kid, was he in "Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog"? Or just "Sonic The Hedgehog"?

"Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog" was the good one, and the one that I watched the most. Used to wake up early as fuck every morning before school to watch that one.

Pretty sure all 3 of the 90s cartoons starred Jaleel White, but this was the silly one, not the dramatic one

Jaleel voiced Sonic in all three cartoons. However this VA is from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Tails (iirc Tails in SatAM has a different, much younger voice)

With that said... eeeeeeh, personally I prefer SatAM over Adventures. Though at least the two are much better than Underground *shudders*

Adventures, progenitor of touching each other in a place or a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, and pingas jokes.

Yeah, nobody really knows. From what I know the confusion comes from a claim that he was 11 when voicing Tails.

He certainly sounded 11. He'd have to have been a pretty talented voice actor to pull off the tails voice in his twenties, or maybe have some sort of condition.

I'm 34 and I was born in 1979. According to that wikipedia entry he was born in 1982. 31 is correct. :(

Look at Nancy Cartwright. She voiced Bart Simpson, & she was 32 when The Simpsons first aired in 1989.

What a terrible shame he passed away so young. I was a huge fan of the show as a kid & I even still have a few of the VHS tapes. RIP.

& yes, Danny Wells, the live-action Luigi on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, passed away as well. I made a thread on that should you wish to leave your condolences to him.
