Sypnosis
After Amy Rose permanently leaves Sonic for a male pop singer, Sonic falls in love with a human girl named Katie Styles. In order to win her heart, he forms a rock band with his human friends Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox as well as four of his male friends. He and his best friend Tails soon suspect that the band's manager may be up to something and decide to investigate in order to find out what.

Plot
The film begins with Sonic(Ryan Drummond) walking through the streets of the fictional Earth city of Sonic Speed City. He sees a poster for a concert being performed by a pop singer named Kyle Shimoda(Harry Styles) in a shop window and displays his dislike of the singer. When he goes to ask Amy Rose(Cindy Robinson) if she hates the pop star as well, she tells him that she likes Kyle and that she even has a ticket for Kyle's concert, much to Sonic's horror.

Sonic goes back to his house and sings a song to help him forget about what Amy said(Outta My Head). To ensure that she will not break his heart, he decides to go to Kyle's concert with her. After the concert, however, Amy tells Sonic that she has decided to dump him for Kyle. Feeling heartbroken, Sonic walks home and expresses how heartbroken he feels(We Will Be Friends).

The next day, Sonic goes to Tails's(Colleen Villard) house to tell him about what had happened last night. Tails then suggests that Sonic become a famous pop star but Sonic tells him that he will need a band and dancers for that. So he puts up posters all over the city with the flyers saying that he is looking for talented musicians and dancers(Battle Of The Bands). Much to his surprise, everyone in the city succeeds the auditions but in the end, Sonic chooses Knuckles(Travis Willingham), Shadow(Jason Griffith), Silver(Pete Capella) and Tails as his musicians and a group of human teenage boys as his dancers.

Tails and the guys soon tell him that having four musicians as his band won't be enough and suggest that he recruit two more to complete his band. So he writes a message to someone so that they can let his two human friends Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox know what he is doing. Sure enough, Anthony and Ian get a message from the person and travel to Sonic Speed City immediately.

The both arrive at the place very quickly and meet up with Sonic and the other boys and Sonic tells the duo about Amy and Kyle's romance and when Anthony goes off to ask Kyle why he caused Amy to leave Sonic for him, Kyle tells him that it is because he needs some assistance with fending off a young human that is very bad news. The other boys shudder at this but manage to get a full-time record deal with Pop Sound Records after performing a song on the stage at the nearby arena(Better Than Ever) in which Sonic names his band the Super Hyper Dudes. On the boys' way to Tails's house the next day, Sonic meets and falls in love with a human girl named Katie Styles(Saoirse Ronan). Bringing her with them into the house, the boys have a band meeting in which Sonic suggests that Ian be the DJ and that Anthony play the rhythm guitar and assist Silver with background vocals.

At a coffee shop later on, Sonic introduces his two new band mates to the band's manager Ivorybone(Troy Baker) who tells Anthony and Ian that he is looking forward to working with them.
