What Made Sonic Mania So Great?

This is one of those game that I would like to play like the first time

This video was great! I was shocked to see that you only have about 500 subs. Your style and editing skills nop notch. Keep up the good work

I remember seeing this game on a magazine or smth as an upcoming game, and it looked really cool to me. So I asked my mom if we could get it when it came out and she said yes. When the day came and I finally got it, it was so cool seeing the title screen light up and knowing that I would finally get to play this game. Got all the chaos emeralds and needless to say, this is my most replayed sonic game, by a big margin.

Lol honestly when I first played this game I didn't even know what the drop dash was, I only learned it by accidentally doing it enough times to catch on. Before playing this game I think the only sonic games I played were the classic mobile ports and... Sonic 4 episode 2, being my first sonic game.

Really enjoyed the video! I subbed, and I'll be checking out your other content.

well, this christian seems cooler than the... other notable christian in the sonic community.

I just got sonic mania recently

nice

I subed btw

who dislike )=<

It doesn’t need a sequel it needs a mobile port

To me Sega Forever ruined Sonic 1 2 and CD by having WAY too many ads and I hate it because there are many fans who want to play for free or cheap but have to deal with an ad every time when they do one of these:
Click the play button to go to save select
Pause
Resume
Finish an Act
WAY TOO MANY ADS sega kinda ruined it for me I got sonic 1 and now I deal with ads :/

Just finished the game with all characters greatest feeling ever

My first Sonic game was Mania, and at first, since I had never played a Sonic game, it was kind of overwhelming to the point where I dropped the game for a while. However, I picked it up again about two weeks later and was amazed by how good and smooth it felt to go fast in a 2D platformer as soon as you get used to the gameplay. I fell in love with its vibrant colors, beautiful art style and mindblowing music.
Oh, and when I played it again once I had beaten all four classic Sonic games and got all the references, that took the game to another level.

As someone who wasn't a Sonic fan when Mania came out, I gotta say, the game is really good even without those nostalgia goggles. Mania was my first proper Sonic game (I had Advance 3 when I was a kid but I didn't really play it cuz I was focused on Pokemon). The game gave me a bit of trouble in the later stages, but learning the levels and mechanics was probably the most fun part of the game for me, and learning the references after the playthrough made me wanna play the older games too! Mania is probably the most friendly introductory game in the series, especially for 2D Sonic.

isnt sonic mania’s sequel…. sonic forces?

Nothing

This video's editing is really good 👏👏👏

People keep saying mania is a fan game, but the production was assisted by sonic team big wigs like takashi izuka and been hired for ports, it's far from it!

Sonic Mania is a game that seems like just another good platformer game. Then you really like it. Then you really really like it. Then you love it. Then, well, it’s one of your favorites.

Aw cmon. I like the game too but this has kinda been done to death. Good video though

Jeez, I need a Mania 2. Origins filled a hole for now though

Hi! The eggman sprites look inspired from sonic cds bad ending🎉

Personally I find being kicked all the way back two zones for a game over is unfair and not just a skill issue. I’ve gotten much better at the game now but how long does a zone take to finish if you’re new and playing casually? About 5 minutes? That’s a 10 minute punishment for not knowing level layouts for lives and some bosses have kinda annoying gimmicks.

I love this game but it definitely should’ve just been one zone that you get kicked back and not both, and someone could argue that being kicked back to the start of a sonic game is perfectly reasonable because they’re a more patient person. I mean I don’t say it’s a skill issue if you get annoyed by the ghosts in sandopolis yet it is technically testing your skills.

I had played the other classic games before Mania, but I didn't know most of the reference. I still found then extremely fun mainly because Mania incorporates them in ways that never feel forced. Sonic Manka is now one of my favorite 2D platformers.

I had this game I got it for free on ps4 and I wasn’t good at sonic all I had was the collection for DS and never made it past the first level but for sonic mania I beat the first act but then forgot about the game. I came back around 2 weeks ago and it’s amazing but I just used debug mode to get past flying battery zone two which is way to hard for it only being the 4th level

I really want sonic 3 and knuckles on iOS because I haven’t been able to play much of it yet

"What made Sonic Mania So Great?" That's the neat part, it wasn't.

Dude your channel deserves so much more attention! You make videos so well I was surprised that you only had 1.4K subscribers!

I had mania for a while but after chemical plant 1 i stopped playing for a while...
Then later on i figured out mania was released in 2017 (first i thought it was a 90s game lol) and also got sonic forces. I figured out the games were connected and started playing mania more. The only sonic games that i have that top mania are sa1 and sa2, and not by much, too!

Dont say tha boss arent replayable cuz new super mario bros koopalings

Mighty and Ray aren't new characters... They first appeared in an arcade game called "SEGA Sonic the hedgehog". Mighty later appeared late in Knuckles Chaotix...
(P.S. Great Vid! You got yourself a new subscriber!)

I just got Sonic Mania! and i already love this game! if i never saw this video i would never of bought it. also really liked the video awesome work!

Wait! Studiopolis is just the city in the background of Chemical Plant.

love your videos, mania was so much fun, the music was on a whole different level.

Sonic mania was the first sonic game I beat and I beat it like a few months ago because I played it before but I restarted it, and before that I played a bit of sonic, like sonic generations, but not much and now I’m halfway done with SA2, and then I’ll actually beat sonic generations

I really love how you went into the history of it's creation. Im buying the game and you earned a sub

sonic generations has a poster in it of mighty and ray i wonder if it was a hint of some sort

Make Sonic Great Again!

Great review❤

Hey I just wanted to say congratulations for your channel growing this much from the 100 subs you showed in the vid to the something thousand it is now, good job!

Two words: DROP. DASH.

Because it's made by passionate long-time fans of the series. Ones that have a general IDEA on knowing what to deliver to restore hope in the franchise for fans who've been growing cynical of SEGA for having Sonic Team rushing out games and limiting their potential with their stupid mandates.


Yes, I know I sound like one of those aforementioned fans, but when you're hit with mediocrity after mediocrity for so long, it does stuff to you, man. For the past few years, I was convinced the only quality Sonic content to expect were from fan projects and the movies. However, as of last year, I've slowly become less obnoxious about my views on SEGA handling the franchise as, while I'm absolutely terrible at the game and haven't even reached the first boss yet, I'm happy for those enjoying Frontiers, and Superstars is looking very promising with having the classic physics intact and some amazing deep-cut fanservice with bringing back characters not seen for more than 20 years.

Hey guys guess what
