The Pendant is episode 39 of Sonic Underground, DiC’s 1999 cartoon about Sonic, Sonia and Manic, the hedgehog triplets of Queen Aleena. It is number 39 in production order – the order TF1 first showed the series in France, where it premiered on 19 May 1999 – and it was the 39th episode to air in the United States, on 21 October 1999. It was written by Ben Hurst and Pat Allee, and its song is “Lady Liberty”.
Synopsis
Robotnik wants to clear the newly discovered Emerald Peninsula and put its people to work as slaves. Looking for a way to stop him, the siblings consult a fortune teller called Maeve, who tells Sonia about a magic pendant that could hold the answer.
Sonia finds one half of the pendant, but it starts to turn her invisible. While Sleet uses his remote to turn Dingo into a bog beast, Sonic and Manic race to find the other half before their sister fades away for good.
Manic grabs the missing piece, the two halves release a burst of light, and Maeve reveals her true form as a fairy. She traps Sleet and Dingo in a pink whirlwind, hands the restored pendant to Sonia, and Robotnik ends up flat on his back.
The Song: “Lady Liberty”
“Lady Liberty” is the song for an episode about freeing a whole peninsula from slavery.
