    Sonic Mania Plus Is One Of The Greatest Sonic Games Ever Made, And It Wasn't Even Sonic Team Who Made it. Sonic Mania Starts Off Right Where Sonic 3 & Knuckles Left Off At Angel Island. Sonic And Tails Arrive only Too See Weird Robots, With The Phantom Ruby. They Get Teleported To Green Hill Zone From Sonic The Hedgehog 1 (1991) They Robots They Saw Get Transformed In To The Heavy MetalsSonic Mania Plus Is One Of The Greatest Sonic Games Ever Made, And It Wasn't Even Sonic Team Who Made it. Sonic Mania Starts Off Right Where Sonic 3 & Knuckles Left Off At Angel Island. Sonic And Tails Arrive only Too See Weird Robots, With The Phantom Ruby. They Get Teleported To Green Hill Zone From Sonic The Hedgehog 1 (1991) They Robots They Saw Get Transformed In To The Heavy Metals And The Game Begins. So Sonic Mania Is FULL Of References Longtime Fans And Newcomers Will Love. You Can Play As Sonic,Tails And Knuckles. Knuckles Has His Own Unique Stages. There Are New And Old Stages. Like The Return Of The Flying Battery Zone From Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (1994) And New Stages Like Press Garden Zone which Is A Printing Press And Act 2 Is A Beautiful Garden. There Is The Return Of The Blue Spheres Game, But There Is A Original Special Stage That Is Kinda Like A Race Track Chasing A UFO. Another Addition Is The & Knuckes Mode. which Replaces Tails With Knuckles And Is A Refremce To a Meme. Controls Are Immaculate They Are Perfection. But The Drop Dash OOOO BABY YEAH ITS SO GOOD!!!!!!! You Jump And The Hold B In The Air to Have A Mini Spindash. And The Elemental Shields Return From Sonic 3 & Knuckles. And That Make It So Good. Tails's Controls Are Like The Ones From Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Knuckles Is Also The Same From Sonic 3 & Knuckles . The Boss Fights Are Good. There Are Mini Animated Cutscenes Also which Are So Cute And Cool. The Game Would Be Good As Is But If You Buy The DLC ITS EVEN BETTER. New Playable Characters. Mighty From Knuckles Chaotix, And Ray From Sega Sonic The Hedgehog, And A New Mode With Special Stages. Overall Sonic Mania Plus Is A 9/10 The Only Bad Thing About Is The I Wish There Was More And More Original Stages.… Expand

    This $5 Encore DLC for Sonic Mania has a new Encore Mode and Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel are playable but it's still fun. Encore Mode is really fun and Mighty and Ray are amazing inclusions considering Sonic Mania only had three characters in the beginning, Sonic,Tails & Knuckles.

    The only words that even come close to describing this game are masterpiece and phenomenal. Everything about this game is amazing from the level design to the amazing soundtrack to the great selection of old and new zones to the boss fights to the good amount of fun to play as playable characters.

This game is perfect, it has no flaws whatsoever. The graphics in this game are beautiful and are a good mix between the classic's graphics (the graphics from the genesis games) and modern day. The encore mode is great and fun as well. There are so many Easter eggs and references to past games in the series in here too. The majority of the classic sonic games were great, but this one exceeds them all by miles. This a must buy sonic game, a love letter to the iconic franchise and one of the best ever created. Well done Christian Whitehead and Sega. We need a sequel ASAP!… Expand

    Uno dei migliori giochi di sonic, a mio parere il miglior sonic 2d, I livelli sono abbastanza intuitivi e sembra che il gioco sappia in tempo reale dove stai e cosa stai facendo, perché c'è sempre qualcosa da fare su Sonic mania.

    What Sonic fans have wanted for 20 years

    Sonic Mania is the game that fans of the series have wanted for years: A new 2D Sonic that feels like the parts on the Mega Drive back in the day. The game is really great, but unfortunately has one negative point, and we'll get to that in a moment. Contra: - Unfortunately only 4 of the total 12 stages are original new zones, the rest were    What Sonic fans have wanted for 20 years

    Sonic Mania is the game that fans of the series have wanted for years: A new 2D Sonic that feels like the parts on the Mega Drive back in the day. The game is really great, but unfortunately has one negative point, and we'll get to that in a moment.

    Contra:

    - Unfortunately only 4 of the total 12 stages are original new zones, the rest were unfortunately taken from the previous games Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles and CD. I still think it's okay since this is an Anniversary Game and the zones have also been remastered a bit so they don't feel 1:1 like they did back then, but I would have liked a bit more new stuff.

    That was the only negative point imo, so now we come to the positive.

    Pros:

    - I like the graphics of the game, it's a pixel game but the artstyle is so nice, you can see the inspiration was there to make the game look like it was a Sega Saturn game. Also, the animations are all so super smooth, the game always manages to run in at least 60 FPS constant (On PCs that support it also with 120 FPS).
    - The soundtrack is ultra nice. Tee Lopes has really done a great job.
    - The story (yes there is one) is also quite nice, it picks up right where Sonic 3 & Knuckles left off. In addition, the game also explains how "Classic" Sonic came back into the "Modern Sonic World" to help him fight Dr. Eggman in Sonic Forces.

    All in all, Sonic Mania is a really great game. I really recommend it to everyone.    … Expand

    Sonic Mania Plus builds up on Sonic Mania and tops it off. The ensemble of the two builds the best 2D Sonic game available and the Encore mode brings a new approach to the plot. While the extra characters don't bring any significant change to the way the game is played, Sonic Mania Plus is essential to any committed fans of the supersonic blue hedgehog.

    If you loved Sonic Mania, Plus is an essential purchase. It’s more Sonic Mania, but different.

    Sonic Mania Plus keeps the essence of Sonic Mania and extends the experience with interesting contents, although they may be insufficient for those who already have the digital version of the game, so this version is recommended for players who did not buy the original game and / or lovers of cartridges.
