Sonic's Shack

Sonic's Shack is a location that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. It is a beach hut on Seaside Coast and the residence of Sonic the Hedgehog. It also serve as Team Sonic's primary relaxation spot.

Description
Sonic's Shack is a round, single-room wooden hut located close to the beach. It has a porch surrounding it, a front entrance without a door and large windows across the walls with wooden blinds. The shack possesses a round straw roof, with a strong mast holding the roof center and smaller pillars holding up the edges, forming a roof over the porch. The shack has very few furniture, such as a hammock, a small TV set, a coffee table, carpets and a ceiling fan.

When Sonic held try-outs for a new sidekick, his shack served as the meeting for candidates. Several met up for the try-outs, including Amy, the Fastidious Beaver, Knuckles (who wanted to make Sonic his sidekick), Tails and even Dr. Eggman. Since everyone could participate, Sonic begrudgingly allowed Tails, Eggman and Fastidious to move on. When Sonic chose Tails, Amy came back to the shack to demand a recall, but she soon abandoned her attempt.

While chilling at Sonic's Shack, Tails showed Team Sonic his universal translator UT, who creating tension among them by translating their private thoughts from the subtext of their speech. The next day, Tails and UT came back, where UT "translated" Team Sonic's comments into insults at each other. As the team began fighting, Tails discovered that this UT was a fake planted by Eggman. While Tails went to save the real UT, the team stayed at the shack, not thinking UT was worth it. Later, UT returned to the shack where it presented a rescue call from Tails, prompting Team Sonic to head out and save Tails. Sonic's Shack was later where Sticks practiced in dancing with her team to prepare for the Awardy Award gala.

When preparing lunch, Amy tried putting up an atmospheric setting at Sonic's Shack, but only got lack of compliance from Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. Unannounced, Eggman appeared to hire Amy to redecorate his lair for Modern Lair Magazine, which Amy accepted, much to her team's shock. Eventually, the team began to miss Amy and left the shack to check on her. Later, Sonic found a basket of cookies on his porch, but before he could eat one, he went to help Tails stop a rogue robot. While he was gone, Knuckles, Amy and Sticks came by Sonic's Shack and ate a cookie, which was actually Evil Cookies made by Eggman that turned them into Eggman's clones. When Sonic and Tails returned to the shack, only one cookie was left, which Sonic gave to Tails. Later, Sonic met Orbot at his shack who told him what had happened to his friends.

Sonic's Shack soon became the home of the Gogobas so Sonic could protect them. Shortly after, the shack was attacked by Eggman and his robots. Sonic and Tails quickly beat the robots and got the Gogobas to leave the shack by guilt tripping them to going with Eggman and tricking Eggman to take them. In their search for Eggman, Orbot and Cubot came to Sonic's Shack to ask Sonic and Knuckles where they last saw Eggman. While Knuckles was caught up in his recollection of their last encounter, Sonic told them where Eggman went. A while later, Tails visited Sonic's Shack for naught in his search for his team, only to get a call from Sonic saying there were being held captive elsewhere.

Following several losses to Sonic, Knuckles visited Sonic at his shack to gloat of how he tipped the luck balance of the universe in his favor by harming himself, but Sonic was only worried about Knuckles' injuries. When Sonic and Eggman switched bodies due to a meteor, Eggman was brought to Sonic's Shack by Team Sonic in the belief he was Sonic, where he plotted the team's destruction. Sonic (in Eggman's body) returned to the shack, but his friends did not believe he was who he claimed to be and drove him off on Eggman's instruction. Sonic soon returned with Eggman's army to battle Eggman at his shack, where Tails arrived and verified Sonic's claim, giving Sonic the opportunity to switch back with Eggman using the meteor. When Eggman later (temporarily) gave up villainy, Sonic retreated to relax in his shack, but grew bored with the peace.

As Team Sonic tried to play volleyball at Sonic's Shack, they were attacked by Crab Bots, but because Sonic had begun to created a terrible noise when running, his team forced him to stay put. Eggman soon showed up, where he earned Sonic's trust and offered to fix his problem. Sonic soon returned to the shack wearing Power-absorbant Insoles from Eggman which did remove the sound, only for Eggman to show with his Giant Robot. Team Sonic tried fighting the Giant Robot, but the insoles from Sonic's unremovable shoes only made it stronger the more he ran, so Sonic resorted to overloading the robot by running around. Team Sonic later held a movie night at Sonic's Shack, only to be attacked by Eggman in his Egg Tank. During the battle, Amy knocked back a shot from the Egg Tank, which Eggman countered it with another weapon. However, an accident with a lightning bolt created a time loop that made the day repeat itself endlessly. Eggman, who remained unaffected, tried using the time loop to launch more attacks at Sonic's Shack until he got it right, only for the time loop to reset his victory. Eggman thus teamed up with Team Sonic to break the loop, though they spend some time at the shack convincing Knuckles to help.

After a long day of activities, Sonic took some time at his shack to read a library book from Amy, which he came back for the next day to return it. When Knuckles was napping at Sonic's Shack, Sonic and his friends played a prank on him until they noticed Eggman was spying on them. The team thus lured Eggman into another prank which made Eggman desert technology. As such, when Sonic tried relaxed at his shack, Eggman came to defeat him with unimpressive makeshift weapons, but left when they failed. While home at his shack, Sonic got caught in traps set up around the residence by Sticks to protect him from a curse, prompting Sonic to set with his team to resolve the issue.

Rejecting Eggman's offer to play himself in his movie, Sonic went to his shack, but Amy soon visited and told Dave the Intern had been given the role, prompting Sonic to join the movie. When waking out on the set though, Sonic returned to his shack, only to leave when Orbot and Cubot came to say that Eggman was mining for metal for new robots which would make them obsolete. Sonic eventually refuge in his shack after getting the whole village on his back for saying what they perceived as an insensitive comment. Seeking counsel from his visiting team, Amy got them all to join her sensitivity seminar to help Sonic's image, much to everyone's dismay. Another time, Team Sonic was having a barbeque at Sonic's Shack when a Knuckles from another dimension suddenly appeared in their midst. Dave the Intern later came to Sonic's Shack to fry Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy inside it with a magnifying glass and the sun. However, he ended up creating disco lightning instead which the team danced to.

Needing a way to investigate Justin Beaver's producer, Sonic took Tails and Knuckles to his shack so they could form their own boy band, thereby allowing them to get in backstage on Justin's set. The trio quickly got the choreograph down, but had trouble coming up with the band's name, which ended up being "Dreamboat Express." Another time, Sonic took Tails to his shack to give him advice on how he should talk to his crush Zooey, demonstrating such a scenario with Comedy Chimp.
