By the Mania, for the Mania!
A love letter to the classic games made by people who genuinely love and adore the series. So many Easter eggs, callbacks, and secrets sprinkled throughout the entire game. It truly looks like the next 2D Sonic game that would’ve released on the Sega Saturn, down to the look of the Special Stages. It plays perfectly. The physicals are the same as the original games thanks to Christian Whitehead and his Retro Engine which powered all the remasters of the Genesis and CD games. My only complaint with this game is that I wish that they had a few more original levels to balance out the returning ones. The new level themes are great and really stand out from the returning. I do wish this team got to do another game with all original levels. But it seems Sonic Team and Arzest are answering that call. Let’s see if that can live up to the fans expectations.
