Super Sonic Sisters was a scrapped cartoon spin-off of the Sonic the Hedgehog series pitched to animation company DiC Entertainment in 1993. The show would have centered around the antics of Sonic's twin cousins, Monica and Isabelle, with Sonic himself making guest appearances. It is unknown whether the show was planned take place in its own continuity, or in the continuity of either the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog or Sonic the Hedgehog television series, both of which were airing near the time of the first pitch. Two pitches for the show were made, the first of which contains synopses for several potential episodes, and the second of which serves as a summary of the first one with minor adjustments.
The series remained unknown to the public until 2023, when DiC writer Phil Harnage shared the pitch documents for preservation purposes.[1]
Don't blink or you'll miss Sonic's speedy cousins, MONICA and ISABELLE. They're Super Sonic identical twins. Two, too much fun and two, too outrageous. Quick! Turn the page for double-action, double-laughs, and double-delight!
Setting[]
Pitch one[]
The show was planned to take place around a rural asteroid nearby Mobius, named Asteroid 896, where Monica and Isabella live, alongside their mother and father, who run an interstellar bar and repair shop called the Sprout Bar. Although similar in appearance, the twins were planned to have different personalities, with Isabelle generally being more impulsive and careless than her sister. The hedgehog sisters would also regularly get into antics at their school, the Mobius Moon High, a hi-tech school located on the moon of Mobius. They also were to be the runners of the school's news show, Comet Sense, which gave them a degree of popularity in the cosmos due to their excellent work.
The efforts of the twins would be opposed by Obnotnik, Robotnik's evil nephew, who despises the twins and their reporting, and would attempt to disrupt it. Robotnik himself would have a part in the show, conducting secret projects in the school while enforcing strict policies upon it. The Twins would find support, however, in the form of the school staff, who work to help the twins career and education.
Sonic would also appear occasionally to assist his cousins in their efforts, although it is unclear on whether or not Jaleel White would have come in to provide Sonic's voice.
Pitch two[]
The second pitch contains several of the elements from the first one (such as the twins living on an asteroid pit stop with their parents), but with many others omitted such as Mr. Straighten Narrow, possibly due to it being labeled a "summary" treatment, or possibly due to the characters being removed from the show. Small changes are also made, including Robotnik being a universal tyrant like in SatAM and Underground, and the name of the twins' news show being changed from "Comet Sense" to "Comet Tails"
