Because of that, Mania looks a lot more like what an actually follow up to Sonic & Knuckles than the episodic and 3D rendered Sonic the Hedgehog 4 was for many fans. The 16-bit era is replicated deftly here, choosing to not soften the pixels like you’ll see in other titles intentionally invoking that period of time. To answer the first question the developers indeed pulled off making a good Sonic game. But can fans properly revive the Sonic of old, and (maybe more importantly) was Sonic ever actually good to begin with? That’s ultimately the questions asked by the existence of Sonic Mania. ĭeveloped not by Sonic Team but instead by developers that cut their teeth on Sonic fan games, Sonic Mania returns to the titles of the Genesis era to try to return the character to his glory of that time. That extends to the creation of Sonic Mania. Sega seems to have finally accepted this reality in recent time, creating one of the most well-known “Brand Twitter” accounts and embracing Sonic’s fan community with wide open arms.
In spite of all that, Sonic himself has only become more and more of a meme courtesy of game culture and the Sonic fandom being particularly committed and self-aware simultaneously. The character has been taken into multiple genres, teamed up with other franchises, and even rebooted just to be quickly undone. Sega has had a certain obsession with maintaining the relevance of Sonic the Hedgehog.
