Sonic Mania is a game for fans made by fans but it isn’t a fan game. Despite the flaws mentioned this game is great and made even better when compared to recent Sonic games. Another issue I personally have with the game is how it handles lives as if you run out of lives at a boss you need to redo act 1 and 2 to get to the boss making it take longer to learn the boss patterns. The bosses are mixed bag though as some were annoying to face(OIL ocean boss) where as others are a joy to fight due to their unique design and throwbacks to earlier games (metal Sonic). The reason for this is due to the great level design (for the most part) which allows the player to move fast but has platforming that feels fair.

This game is a must have for anyone who likes platformers or casual games that was made by sonic fans, for sonic fans. The music (composed by Tee Lopes) is also a great feature to the game as well mixing classic sonic music with newer tones to create upbeat and catchy themes. The level design is fantastic with massive world views making you want to re-play previous levels to find secrets or alternative paths. Sega hiring Christian Whitehead and his team was the best thing that could've be done to this game and he delivered.
