The only aspects of Sonic from my childhood were the SEGA games. Primarily Spinball, as that was the one my family owned, but the rest I played with friends. Never watched a single episode of any of the various cartoons nor read a comic of the character. Nor will I.

As much as I'd like to say you're missing out......meh.  The old cartoon from the 90s was the best thing in the world when I was seven, but it sure as hell hasn't aged well.  The Archie comic became a convoluted mess until they rebooted, and unfortunately it only made it through one major arc post-reboot before the company canceled the book.  I do suggest playing Sonic Mania since it's basically the old Sega Genesis games refined and perfected, but beyond that, ehhh.
