Those games stand up today and have occasionally served as a reminder of the glory SEGA could once achieve with the series. It’s somewhat ironic, then, that it wasn’t SEGA or Sonic Team that rediscovered what makes a truly great game in the franchise, but devoted super-fans that also happen to be very talented developers. SEGA, to its immense credit, saw the best of fan projects online – with Christian Whitehead front and centre – and realised there was a gift to accept. Bring a group of Indie studios together, give them resources, handle the PR and bask in the goodwill. The result was 2017’s superb Sonic Mania, which ended up being the best game to use the IP for a long time. It was the Sonic outing SEGA fans had been dreaming of for over 20 years, and has sold over a million copies to date across all formats; not bad for a title which was intended to be a side-order to the main course of Sonic Forces.

Fast forward to the present, and SEGA has wisely listened to calls for a physical version of the game. Rather than simply dump the original onto a game card and be done with it, the publisher has instead taken this opportunity to augment the experience with fresh content. The result is Sonic Mania Plus, a title which takes all of the amazing stuff seen in last year’s game and throws in some welcome additions which will please fans and newcomers alike. Before we get onto that though, how about a little recap on what makes Sonic Mania so downright brilliant?
