Info from a Sonic Fan
If you're looking for an AoStH DVD, the only thing you're going to find on here is "Sonic's Christmas Blast" the last episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (AoStH), which is a mix of the immensely popular series Sonic the Hedgehog (Best known as SAT-AM by the fans) and AoStH. As far as Christmas episodes go, this one is high quality, but I'm a true-blue Sonic fan.
As for the Sonic Underground episodes (Another Sonic universe entirely, about Sonic and his triplet brother and sister, Manic and Sonia), I have to disagree with the other reviewer. "Three Hedgehogs and A Baby" is one of most popular amoung Sonic Underground fans not only because it is a Manic-centered episode, but it is very heartwarming. Manic has to help take care of this drooling, cranky baby and we see his true colors. "Mummy Dearest" is worth it to see King Amonrappi and "The Price of Freedom" is also heartwarming is well.

A fun romp in the park
I'm a major Sonic fan so I take my blue hedgehog very seriously. But sometimes, like around Christmas, I want to watch a Sonic show that's just plain fun. Sonic's Christmas Blast is that in spades.

The most common complaint about this episode, is that it's more based on the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (AoStH) TV show than the SatAm show which may be a valid complaint. To me there are times when things just get a little bit too silly, like Sonic taking over Santa Claus' duties at the end. I mean, Sonic's in a...
"Christmas Blast" Alone is Worth Getting on DVD...
I don't know about the extra Sonic Underground episodes - as a long-time Sonic fan, I was pretty sickened by that whole series - but the Christmas Blast episode (which has NO correlation w/ Sonic Underground) is very awesome. It's kind of a combination of the past two Sonic animated series that ran in the early '90s... I'd buy this DVD even if this were the only thing on it - it's a classic Christmas special worth watching. :-)
