Aug 16, 2017Soy jugador de Sonic desde Master system, y esto es lo que llevo esperando todos estos años, solo usaré una palabra para definir a este juego: Felicidad.

Aug 15, 2017Best Sonic game ever, combines the excellent gameplay of Sonic 3 with more precision and new mechanics. The graphics are amazing everything has life and the colors are very striking! 10/10

Aug 19, 2017Como Nintendero de toda la vida pasé de Sonic y sus juegos hasta sus entregas en la Dreamcast. Por este motivo, fue una grandiosa experiencia encontrarme con el erizo azul y disfrutar del increíble juego de plataformas 2D que es Sonic Mania. Recomendadísimo si eres fan de los juegos retro, amas a SEGA o símplemente quieres ampliar tu catálogo de Switch con un juego de mucha calidad.

Aug 16, 2017Sonic was always good. Ok maybe not. But it was a big part of my childhood. The last Sonic game i loved was Sonic 3 & Knuckles. And Sonic Mania is exactly the Sonic game i've always wanted. Perfect level design, perfect soundtrack, the perfect Sonic game, 10/10.

Nov 5, 2017This is a true sequel to the original Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy. The physics are just right and the level design is what you would expect of the era. Tee Lopes does a fantastic job with the soundtrack, my favorites being some of the boss themes. My only issues is that 4 out of the 12 zones are original and I would've loved to see more originality from this team that held many creative ideas.

Jan 20, 2018this to me is the best sonic game since sonic cd. the level design is amazing and the remixed zones are awesome, the sprites and animations are so good and kinda cute sometimes. the music is also amazing with Tee Lopes handling this phenomenal soundtrack! Now for the problems............none. Christian Whitehead, pagoda west, and headcannon have created the best sonic game ever!

Feb 7, 2018Sonic has been a big part of my childhood and after years of disappointment the love that went into this game shows making a game I won’t soon forget. This does what I loved about the old games, being able to go fast and creative levels. I thought this might be just a greatest hits but I was instead blown away by the creativity and love for the sonic franchise that went into this game.

Aug 15, 2017I absolutely love this game. Wow wow wow
This is the real Sonic 4.
The games feels fresh yet nostalgic, something that other revived titles like Crash Bandicoot couldnt do. -
Aug 15, 2017It's EVERYTHING a Sonic game should be. I've been waiting years for this game. I sure hope this tell to Sega what we really want. A 2D classic sonic. HD sprites? yes. 3D "Yeah yeah"? NOPE. Amazing game!
-
Aug 17, 2017This game is really well made.
This is what every sonic should be. Perfect. It can please everyone, from younger to older and nostalgic gamers.
The new stages are awesome. I don't know what else to say, just play this work of art. -
Aug 17, 2017This is a game that shows some things:
1. People giving negative reviews because they dont want the blue blur to be back.
2. That Sonic/SEGA games are always better on the Nintendo consoles
3. That Sonic is finally back. -

Aug 15, 2017I usually don't write reviews but if you were a 90's kid, this is like Sonic on the Genesis...In some ways it's better because of the portability of the Switch. I had a Game Gear and the Sonic games were not that good for it, so this is a pretty awesome tribute to the fans.

Aug 19, 2017I read that this was made to be as if it launched on Sega Saturn. If this exact game had launched on the system it would have been its saving grace. That's how good this game is. A shy from a 10. A more epic end boss would have made this perfect. I would also have liked the option to play as the Sonic 3 sprite. We play as the Sonic CD one with nicer animation.
-
Aug 16, 2017This game is simply great. Sonic FINALLY is back. What SEGA has done hiring Christian Whitehead as a new developer has been great, hope they dont fire it, but join him to Sonic Team.
-
Aug 15, 2017I like the Gameeeee, I love it. Sonic returns whit a very very very very very very gooooooooood gameeeeee. Buy noww. and better in nintendo switch. Buyyyyyyyyyy

Aug 16, 2017Sonic Mania is the perfect throwback to the original Sonic games. It has that original play style and feel, but with new and exciting levels. This is the game that should have came after Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
-
Aug 19, 2017Sonic Mania is the best Sonic game in years. The game has beautiful sprites, a phenomenal soundtrack,
And much content. The only things that disappoint me is that some acts are too similar to the previous classic sonic games and the final boss isnt that suprising. Overal Sonic Mania is a must have for Sonic fans and people who like 2d platform games. -

Jul 7, 2018I dont pay 20$ to become all the levels again that were in Sonic1,2,3&K,CD.Cant they bring us new zones?
-
Jun 5, 2020I think I have never played a platformer with such unresponsive and slippery controls. Your front vision covers only 2 meters of the level, making the planning and understanding of the levels impossible. I am not a huge fan of platformers, but when every single person recommends me to play some - I do. So far Sonic Mania - is the worst platformer I have ever had recommended to me.

Nov 8, 2019It has no right to be called the Best sonic game and a masterpiece. This game is **** Sonic 2006 is a lot better. I've played Sonic 3 & knuckles so many times and when i tried to enjoy this "sonic mania" game i just wanted nothing more than close this piece of garbage. STOP PRAISING IT. IT'S BAD.

Nov 18, 2017Sega takes the example from Capcom, because it also parasitizes on past merits, but unlike Capcom, Sega isn't make stupid collection of old games, they makes collection of levels from old games, but add new and upgrade old levels with bosses and make them more unusual. In general this new game is well forgotten (or vice versa unforgettable, causing nostalgia) and altered old.

Aug 18, 2017Grając w Sonic manie przypominają się stare, nostalgiczne czasy, kiedy ogrywało się starsze części niebieskiego jeża. Godna polecenia wszystkim fanom Sonica.
-
Nov 11, 2017El mejor plataformas 2d que he jugado, ¡Sonic ha vuelto!. Encima jugar esto en nintendo switch es una verdadera gosada, Sega se la marco con este juego.
Tiene mi 10. -
Aug 16, 2017I already talk about how great this game is on my PS4 review of this. But in addition to all all that, the fact that you can play this great game on the go is...well great. This was a good game to start out Sonic with in the Switch's library.
-
Aug 18, 2017Fantastic game! The best Sonic game I have played since Sonic 3 & Knuckles, infact, I think Sonic Mania is better than the original trilogy + Sonic CD.

Aug 19, 2017Havent played a sonic game this good in years, amazing nostalgia, enjoyed every bit of it (bosses were a little weak in some cases) but overall a fantastic game. Level design would have to be in my honest opinion better than the classic sonic games, love the smooth 60fps and hope that we see a Sonic Mania 2 in the near future. 2 thumbs all the way up
-
Jan 10, 2018This has to be the best Sonic game i have played since Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Everything about this game from the music to the level design to the new zones is perfectly rolled into one tight package. I can't think of a single thing wrong with this game... Other than it put classic sonic in forces. Other than that the game is a well crafted masterpiece.
-
Dec 15, 2017Probably the best classic 2D Sonic game in recent memory since Sonic CD and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I can honestly say that you won't regret it when you play this game.

Jul 1, 2020Эта игра полное наебалово, что бы развести нас на деньги. Ведь тут очередная ставка на настольгию. Sega и Sonic Team, YOU CAN'T MAKE GOOD GAMES!!!!!

Aug 19, 2017Fresh level design, even in old zones. While there are only 4 new zones in the game, the old zones are reinterpreted to add vastly different content and new stage design. Mania is a blast through and through.

Aug 17, 2017This... is GODLY
I can't believe this game really exists
All the hype... it was WORTH IT
I don't know if it's better than S3&K but it's at least on the same level -
Aug 29, 2017Cool game, very nostalgic, but the glitch with the home menu, and also the lag in control input, makes me not even want to turn the game on anymore. It feels like my Switch is going to break when ever I want to go back to the home menu.... Hope they fix it soon, so I can play it.

Sep 6, 2017Simply the best 2D Sonic game to date, that in my opinion of course.
Aside from excellent, and I mean super excellent level design, extremely catchy music, and adorable graphics, the gameplay is just like the older 2D Sonic games, but feels smoother. It's seriously great, try it out! -
Aug 20, 2017I'm a big Sonic fan ever since the day that the original Sonic the Hedgehog came out on the Genesis and this game is even better. I only wish that there would be a physical release!

Oct 29, 201790’s goodness with top notch control, amazing tracks and some of the best level design in a sonic game. The amount of re used stages although don’t ruin but still effect the game. A must buy for fans of the blue blur as well for any one who likes platformers.

Aug 18, 2017Disparado o melhor jogo de Sonic nos ultimos anos e o melhor em 16-bits.
fases criativas, Bosses incriveis e musicas lindas, jogo perfeito!
É mais um jogo que não se enjoa facilmente -
Aug 16, 2017O melhor sonic de sempre, feito pelos fãs mais entusiastas e contém uma excelente trilha sonora e gráficos, diversão garantida.

May 15, 2018Didn't care much for one of the bonus games and the co-op, which is a shame. However, everything else about this game is awesome. From the music, level design, art-style, game-play, all of it is just amazing.
-
Sep 10, 2017This game can't get any better. It suits to any old school sonic player, and newcomers. I highly recommend buying it if you own the console and won't mind spending just a bit for a totally priceworthy game

Jun 2, 2018I haven't played many Sonic games, but this is a great platformer! The different playable characters provide different ways to speed through the well-designed levels. Perhaps lacking a bit in originality, but Sonic Mania is fantastic. Recommended for platformer fans and those who particularly like the classic Sonic games.

Oct 6, 2017After nearly 20 years of almost universally horrible games, the 16-bit icon has returned to his former glory and redeemed himself in the eyes of this long-suffering fan. Sonic Mania does a great job of reminding us what made Sonic great in the first place, while also FINALLY bringing the mascot into the modern era. Everything comes together - the music, the stages, the boss fights and the secrets - to form a package that is both appealing to the retro gamer and irresistible to anyone who enjoys a good game of run and jump. Whether on the Nintendo Switch or any other system, Sonic Mania needs to be in your collection yesterday.

Sep 18, 2017Sonic Mania is like a greatest hits album that your favourite artist may release, with a few new tracks as a bonus. It has a high level of nostalgia, gloss and polish and will really challenge your skill, reflexes and patience. There's quite a bit to get stuck into, but you may find yourself being frustrated. If you love the little blue chap and relish a challenge, speed along to the e-shop and pick this up.
