unlabelledView post →ngl the vibe around Pokémon dropping their first great game with no catches in like 15 years with Pokopia and following it up with Champions is giving big Sonic Mania into Sonic Forces energy
unlabelledView post →i sometimes see this notion that "the worst Mario game is still better than the best Sonic game" and while i think those two franchises are fairly spaced out in terms of quality control i refuse to humor the idea that The Lost Levels is better than Sonic 3 or Sonic Mania man
unlabelledView post →Happy Yuyuko Tuesday! The current vibe is thinking about Sonic Mania! ngl I loved this game so much 🥹 it was a throwback! It reminded me of playing the classics on the Sega Genesis when I was a kid, it was a magical experience 😊 I hope you have a wonderful day, I send love and positivity your way 💛☺️
unlabelledView post →Found a reliable way to crash Sonic Mania by using Mighty to smash the sign at the end of Titanic Monarch Act 1 so if you want to crash the game on your PC that’s your way to do it
unlabelledView post →The next game that I'll be playing is Penny's Big Breakaway! ngl I don't know too much about this game, but I do know that it's a 3D platformer that was made by the same devs that made Sonic Mania! That's pretty much all I know about the game, but I loved Sonic Mania, so I'm excited for this game!
unlabelledView post →i will say one of the three or so recent Gen Z Gaming Hot Takes(TM) i straight up reject is the notion that Sonic Mania is actually garbage and not an authentic Sonic game, and that Black Knight is still the last "real" Sonic game.
unlabelledView post →Heads up; the Sonic Mania 3DS port is nearly ready for a 1.1 release. Loading times are improved, memory usage is reduced (the game should boot on O3DS now, albeit not at full speed), and the audio thread runs on core 1 now and no longer has the delay in the 1.0 release.

unlabelledView post →🎂 HAPPY 9TH ANNIVERSARY TO SONIC MANIA! It's no exaggeration to say that this humble little game practically revitalised interest in Sonic after years in the doldrums. Still a fantastic time.
unlabelledView post →This track is called "Chemical Plant Zone Act 1"! Sonic Mania was such an amazing game 🥹 it was a straight throwback! Everything from the graphics to the vibe mimicked classic Sonic games perfectly, it was incredible! The new zones were cool as well, and the OST was immaculate 😭 it was a banger!
unlabelledView post →Hey y'all should pick up this cool game on sale by the Sonic Mania devs, with cutscenes by Mariel and me 😉
unlabelledView post →This track is called "Lights, Camera, Action!"! Sonic Mania was such an amazing game 🥹 it was such a throwback! The game looked and felt like a Sonic game from the Sega Genesis era, complete with new Zones and some Zones from the original games as well! The soundtrack was a bop too, it was awesome!

unlabelledView post →BREAKING: SEGA has officially joined Xbox's disc to digital program. #SonicNews Not every game is in the program. Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, Sonic Origins Plus, Sonic Mania Plus, Team Sonic Racing, and Sonic x Shadow Generations are reportedly still incompatible.
unlabelledView post →Might as well clear this up: Rubato is the creation of dconn and the rest of us, who had nothing to do with Sonic Mania. That's not to downplay Headcannon's support - without them, you wouldn't be playing Rubato on console. But Rubato is NOT the next game by the Mania devs.
unlabelledView post →Happy 8th anniversary to Sonic Mania, a good game that still ultimately pissed me off because even after so many years we still don't have a conclusion
unlabelledView post →This track is called "Comfort Zone"! Sonic Mania is an awesome game! Playing it for the first time when it came out was such an incredible experience, it really felt like I was a kid again, playing the classic Sonic games 🥹 it mimicked the feel of classic Sonic games perfectly, it was so beautiful 😭
unlabelledView post →The biggest mod yet for Sonic Mania drops in 11 hours. Basically a whole new game with multiple campaigns and modes. sonicmegamixmania.github.io Requires the DLC, I believe.
unlabelledView post →Oh btw I’ve been collecting game ideas to stream soon and I think I’m gonna try to officially start back this Wednesday evening with a Sonic Mania playthrough! I haven’t played the game in years so I figured it’d be fun to revisit
unlabelledView post →They did the thing! They activated the predictable Black Friday sale they sent this game out against Mario and Spider-Man to achieve. If you like the classic Sonic games and have already played Sonic Mania, I’d recommend giving this game a go. It’s pretty good!
unlabelledView post →NEWS: A trio of homebrew projects slipped under the radar in late August, bringing Sonic CD and Sonic Mania to classic Sega hardware that never officially received either game - Saturn and 32X! #SonicNews www.sonicstadium.org/articles/son...
unlabelledView post →Proper intro... I'm Hunter Bridges. Game creator who does lots of stuff. Some credits: - Sonic Mania - Programmer, Project Manager - Penny's Big Breakaway - Game Director, Technical Director - Zero Zero: Perfect Stop - Creator I also write music, and have written tracks on several game OSTs!
unlabelledView post →Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is the only game to be released during Sonic's 25th Anniversary, and thus is the only game to be branded as such. Sonic Mania and Forces would release the following year and have no association with the anniversary whatsoever.
unlabelledView post →To the Sonic fans that think "Sonic Mania saved the series" y'all are way overestimating how much Sega management actually cares about a game selling, let alone a Sonic game, unless it does "Call of Duty" numbers.
unlabelledView post →I knew Sonic Mania was gonna end up being the last game from SEGA I’d ever enjoy lol

unlabelledView post →Aaron Webber eventually shows the Sonic Mania devs the trailer and they love it, and it's soon decided by SEGA that it will be put into the game as its intro, giving Sonic Mania the CD-type intro he'd pitched months earlier. #SonicNews #AX26
unlabelledView post →Imagine hiring a developer to make a game as fun as Sonic Mania and then never letting them make a sequel. 🤦🏻♂️
unlabelledView post →BTW: Jnmartin was the same programmer who also got the Sonic Mania 3D special stages working in that game's upcoming Dreamcast port: www.sonicstadium.org/articles/son...
unlabelledView post →An unfortunate truth is that the average person things a mediocre 3D game looks better than the best looking 2D game ever made because people consider 2D to be primitive and 3D to always be an upgrade. People called Sonic Mania and Blazblue "8-bit" consumers are idiots.
unlabelledView post →Hradly. The only universally acclaimed game around the first movie's release was Sonic Mania. The Boom series bombed, and Forces wasn't well received either. Sonic's reputation was strongly salvaged by the films, because it wasn't 06 levels of bad but it wasn't hot either.
unlabelledView post →Still surreal that @teelopes.bsky.social DM'd me out of nowhere praising my music. Sonic Mania is one of the best video game soundtracks thanks to him!!
unlabelledView post →Sonic Colors Ultimate was cracked and Denuvo has been broken. I do believe the last Sonic game that got cracked and had it's denuvo protection removed was Sonic Mania meaning it's almost been 8 years since the last time a Sonic Game has been cracked. #SonicTheHedgehog #Denuvo

unlabelledView post →I know this is such a “people online” thing but I feel like I need to replay Sonic Mania because I’ve seen people turn on it recently. It’s my 4th favorite game in the franchise but I haven’t played it in a hot minute so my opinion on it may change. then again i still love frontiers so maybe not

unlabelledView post →Anyone who says Sonic Mania is a 16bit game is LYING to you. Sonic Mania is a CD32X game at its core made for the modern day, that is final, I will not accept any arguments.
unlabelledView post →Sonic Mania is a $1000 video game (I played it on my $980 PC)
unlabelledView post →It’s astonishing we never got a sequel to Sonic Mania. It was a love letter to the original Sonic the Hedgehog games, blending beautifully recreated classic zones with brand new ones. Music was fab, capturing the essence of Sonic while hinting at what a SEGA Saturn Sonic might have felt like. #retrogaming #sega #sonicthehedgehog #sonicmania
unlabelledView post →replaying Sonic Mania on a whim and dang that game is a platformer masterpiece
unlabelledView post →A sequel to Sonic Mania seemed like a sure thing, but it never happened. @brianpshea.bsky.social asked the devs why for Game Informer in 2023. #RandomVGRL Why Didn’t Sonic Mania 2 Happen? – Game Informer (2023) videogameresearchlibrary.com/why-didnt-so...

Will I get all the Chaos Emeralds and the good end? Will I get all the Blue Spheres coins!? Come on by and find out <3 ⬇️ www.twitch.tv/mc_bone
unlabelledView post →Sonic Mania is so fucking boring. Like it's technically a good game but it does nothing to make me wanna replay it, it peaks on your first playthrough. It's the classic Sonic game I've replayed the least but I struggle to play more than 4 zones without feeling burned out.
unlabelledView post →JUST MAKE SONIC MANIA 2 OR SOME KIND OF STANDALONE CHAO RAISING GAME WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR THEM
unlabelledView post →They already had the best Sonic game of my adult lifetime in the rearview (Sonic Mania) and everything since has been at best a polishing up of stuff that's been there for literal decades. It's ok to end things!
unlabelledView post →Mighty couldn't wall jump in Sonic Mania like he could in Knuckles' Chaotix bad game (joking)
unlabelledView post →... Yeah it makes sense that Sonic Mania 32X is vibecoded. You can probably fit one act from that game how the hell can you do the entire thing
unlabelledView post →I remember maybe in like 2019-2020 in GAME I used to see dual pack bundles of Sonic Mania Plus and Sonic Forces for the price of somewhere between Mania Plus or Forces separately they’ve fr tried multiple times to get people to buy Forces in a bundle
unlabelledView post →For a game that is so incredibly infuriating to play that it makes me want to kill myself, Sonic Mania has a banger soundtrack that will need to be studied in history classes.
