Best Things About Sonic Mania
Sonic Mania is a rehash of the classic Sonic Games from the 90's, and there are quite a few changes that freshen it up. This game is a great value for $20 on the Nintendo Switch eShop.Oil Ocean and Flying Battery are the best examples of this.
No surprise as to why fans call Sonic Mania the true Sonic 4. Not only does the game have graphics that call back to the days of the Genesis port's graphics, but these graphics could very well surpass those graphics too.
They sure are. I actually haven't played the game myself, but based on a boss rush video of this game on YouTube, a lot of the bosses have unique and different fighting styles that truly shakes things up rather than using stale and formulaic combat. One boss is even a shout-out to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, for those who don't know! Man, the nostalgic appeal is real in this game.
Two words: Metal. Sonic.
That was good... & Knuckles!
The opening animation is the icing on the cake on all of that. And if I may add, lights, camera, action! Studiopolis gives you a pretty good case of ear worm, to say the least.
Listening to a lot of this game's soundtrack just makes me so happy.
