Gone are days of creativity, endless hours of fun, and the basic love of rings. It will take less than a moment to build the pace like the old ones, but you will love it as you move further in the game.I have no idea what the hell went on with Sonic. It’s addictive, wacky and as a 2D platformer and side scrolling game lover, Sonic Mania has gone beyond the expectation. The game hasn’t disappointed at any level at any point. It is kind of weird but still, it’s cool. That means you have to finish the game in one go, without saving it. But you have to complete the whole game in one sitting. For Example, in Sonic Mania, you can unlock Sonic’s Insta-Sheild ability from Sonic 3. One of the abilities I got to know before playing the game was. It is a great combination of challenges and fun. Either you face the Eggman sitting inside his spider robot, flying an evil helicopter or his sycophants trying to stop you at different levels, the boss fights are pretty entertaining and get difficult as you move further. Boss FightĪfter the end of every level, you have to face the boss. The mazes in the game are new and the gimmicks are so rapid that you have to act very quickly. For example, if you play Sonic Mania’s Chemical Plant zone, you will find a weird but funny jelly surface which gives you an elevation and can take you to the new area of the zone by constantly jumping on it. The new zones in the game give the user to gear up and play the game on the fast pace. As we know that from the beginning Sonic has been focused a lot in terms of speed and one way to another, the speed leads you to the whole new area. If we talk Sonic, then we should also know that we can expect any sort of surprise.

Sonic’s new ability has also been introduced which is called “Drop Dash” which allows to quickly roll forward after a jump. The obstacles are cleverly placed in the game and the varied pathways give you exciting twists and turns during the gameplay. The developers have done a fine justice with the previous Sonic installments. The game has the best responsive control and pretty awesome movement physics. But Sonic Mania has some pretty attractive music which works parallel with the visual. I am still confused whether if it’s true or not. I remember the argument of Michael Jackson’s musical contribution to Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Yes, they finally added the best and catchy, inspired by the 90s tunes in the game. The detailing is vibrant, the animation is smooth, the meshes in the new zones are amazing, the visuals are stunning and the colors of the game gives you the old classical Sonic feeling of the 90s. The game is so promising and nostalgic right from the title screen, which I bet brings you all of your favorite childhood memories. Merging the 16-Bit side-scrolling gameplay to the latest 60-FPS and impeccable re-imaginations of the Zones, the game is filled with all the excitement and adventures. Satisfying Presentation and AnimationĪfter all these years the game looks pretty intoxicating and eye-catching as it was before.

This addition was honestly unexpected for me. They are bigger, more elaborate and filled with various new thrilling traps and tricks. Now the best of remastering the old level is that they are not as same as before. Out of which four zones which are Green Hills, Chemical Plant, Stardust Speedway and Lava Reef, were remade from the previous Sonic installments with a slight alteration. With their signature abilities like Running, Jumping, Spin Dashing, Flying, and gliding you can pass through all the obstacles and achieve your victory. Sonic is back again with his friends Tails and Knuckles, to defeat the Eggman and his Empire. The remake of the 90s classical side-scrolling platform game of all time. Recently Sega has released the “ Sonic Mania”. There are some of the games which can't be replaced no matter what. Whether it’s Golden Axe, Comix Zone, Earthworm Gym, Demolition Man etc, or those other 90’s 16-Bit side-scrolling Sega Genesis Games, all of the games and that time, was always close to my heart. As a retro gaming fan, I always used to keep a specific list of games in my pocket which I think would be a perfect remake.
