    Really, no matter how you look at it, Sonic Mania is a huge success and Sonic Mania Plus is a celebration of that success thanks to smart physical edition design and items and valuable new in-game content. At only $30, it’s a superb deal and a release I would recommend be on anyone’s short list of must-haves.

    Sonic Mania was the perfect homage to the classic hedgehog games. Plus version adds two new characters, 4 player coop split screen, new game modes and a great physical edition, so it gets even better.

    Sonic Mania Plus cranks the game up to eleven with its new content and it is a must-play for fans of the original Sonic the Hedgehog 2D platformers.

    Simply put, even if you've never played a Sonic game, you'll still have a ton of fun within the exciting world of Sonic Mania Plus.

    Those looking for more Sonic could do far worse than this title, but don’t expect the extras to live up to the lofty standards set by Mania Mode.

    For only a $5 upgrade fee, they get all of those warm fuzzy feelings but with two great new characters and a small handful of remixed content that doesn’t quite break the bank nor provide a ton of value. However, the early 1990s infrastructure that the game prides itself on hasn’t aged quite as gracefully and, while it still has plenty of charm, it doesn’t fit in as elegantly with the current 2018 era that it’s being released in.

Esto es lo que necesitaba la franquicia. El diseño de niveles está constituido muy bien, te permite sentir la velocidad de Sonic y compañía. Los bosses también me gustan mucho, ya que no son batallas genéricas en las que tienes que ir saltando encima y ya, sino que cada uno es completamente distinto. Uno de los mejores plataformas que existen.… Expand

Also quite a few characters to play as. It's really a perfect remake of the original games if you liked those. I'm probably one of the few people who are more into Sonic Rush, Rush Adventure and Colors (DS)-style levels though. I always found the rush system to be perfect for blasting through stages and it feels so much more satisfying than constantly getting stuck on walls and just everywhere. Precise platforming is also incredibly hard in Mania. You know, jumping around moving blocks for example. My only complaint really is just the difficulty. Just like the OG games, if you're not good at this kind of game in general, it will take a few tries to get good in levels. Which is fine, but it can be frustrating. Especially running out of lives in the final boss stage and having to repeat pretty long levels just to try again. I have not figured out a way to farm lives either, so yeah. The difficulty is the only thing that I didn't enjoy a lot!… Expand

The graphics are fricking horrible. This game would have been way better if it was released back in the 90's era. This isn't the time to release something like this, especially due to it being the 3d era of Sonic. It's not the time to release a fricking 2d Sonic game. Due to this being a fangame, I thought this would be better than a official sonic game but no, I was indeed wrong.… Expand
