==Fanon==
The show was very popular at it's first release, and continues to have a fanbase to this day. During the 90's, SatAM and the Archie Comics were the main focus of the Online Sonic space, and were the canon usually used for fanfiction. Fans of the games and the japanese media, or the "SegaSonic" fans, sometimes had fights with SatAM fans about the canonicity or quality of the show. These fights ended up stopping after the release of the Sonic Adventure games, that presented the game's japanese lore for more people and confirmed it as the "main" canon. 
One very common thing in the fandom is to speculate what would have happend in season 3, research after interviews, or write and draw your own interpretation of it. Some would even try to create petitionsPetition to Bring SatAM back on the Wayback Machine to bring the show back, though none of them had any success.
The show was also popular with the furry fandom, just like most Sonic media, with Sally Acorn in particular being considered a gateway to the fandom for many people.
