Past
When first released, the Tomatopotamus series received high acclaim from people like Team Sonic, its best entry being Tomatopotamus 2. However, the series would experience several hardships as it developed, with fans criticizing the game company for ruining the franchise. Some would criticize the series' 3D games for being unable to work in such a format, while others would criticize how the series' titular character had its legs recolored. Additionally, nearly all existing copies of Tomatopotamus 2 would be recalled for the Sparcium within them.

Season two
Remaining fans of the retro Tomatopotamus games, Team Sonic would get their hands of one of the few remaining Tomatopotamus 2 copies and play on it until they had to sacrifice it to fix FriendBot.

Trivia

 * The Tomatopotamus series and its decline is a reference to the Sonic the Hedgehog series, whose 3D games have been criticized for being mediocre and for having transitioned poorly from 2D to 3D gameplay. Also, the criticism of the color change of Tomatopotamus' legs is a reference to the real-life backlash fans from the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom demonstrated when Sonic's Sonic Boom counterpart was redesigned with blue arms instead of peach.
