Sonic Mania is a refresher for the Classic Sonic franchise, but don't go hopping into this game thinking it will nearly be as easy as the classics or as short as Sonic 1 2 & CD. This game Remixes old levels as well as bringing in new ones, some of which are reminiscent of Beta Levels from the classic series that were removed. Every Zone has 2 Acts, and you can play as multiple Characters, Sonic & Tails, Sonic, Tails,
and Knuckles. This game is filled to the brim with references and remodels to just about every thing in the sonic universe you could imagine, except maybe Big the Cat. This game not only plays like Sonic games of old, but it brings to the table animations of new. This game looks smoother than butter, and runs likewise. Also, remember how older games you could UNLOCK your content by, playing the game instead of paying the game? Well, unbelievably, you can UNLOCK extras and other content by playing the game! Thankfully there's no $20 expansion DLC that gives the rest of the items and levels that you would need to really 100% finish the game, or even a $60 to $80 """"DLC"""" expansion that pretty much gives you the other half of the game you already payed $60 for. SO thank you Christian whitehead for bringing us a game that Sonic Team would be too incompetent to create.
