Please tell me your steam username, I will gift you a copy of sonic mania. It’s such a good game.
Can I give you mine?🤣
You know what, if he doesn’t respond at the end of the day, I will gift you a copy of sonic mania. I want as many people to play it, and it will feel nice to know that I gifted someone one of the most fun platformers of all time.
I prefer Sonic 2, and 3 & K.
I do prefer those, but sonic mania is more consitantly good while 2,3 and k have some horrible levels like metropolis and sandopolis.
I feel like sonic mania is a good starting game for a sonic fan, but 3 and knuckles has higher highs then mania, but lower lows.
Sandslop, fine, it’s not the best. But Metropolis is amazing! DAT MUSIC YO
I ain’t playing that shit, give it to her.
Woah that’s so nice and cool. I’ve been wanting to get mania plus on switch since I played through 1 & 2. I always seem to miss it when it’s on sale though lol
Heres my friend code for steam

That reveal trailer back in 2017 was such a magical moment. I’d always wanted a new 2D Sonic game, and seeing how much of a celebration for Classic Sonic this trailer was showed me that Mania was going to be an all time classic. So glad that we got these beautiful animations to accompany the reveal and release. There’s nothing else like it for this series.
The animation opening was done by Ian, the creator of Ok ko.
Tyson Hesse animated the opening. It was his first time doing a big animation, but he nailed it first try.
Ooooh wait your actually right. Yeah my bad.
Not even Sega cares about itself as much as a quarter of what Sickr does
This game is so good, love going back to it every now and then for some good Sonic fun. Cool to see some concept art
Me too!
Other companies not making classic style games of their old franchises is just leaving money on the table. Imagine how well a Donkey Kong Country Mania would sell today
The game was so good and it would be nice if they did a sequel for the game to deliver the best experience.
These aren’t concept sketches, these are literally just screenshots from the trailer.
Which had a concept sketch in it. Do please try to keep up.
