Sonic Mania was released on this day (15 August) 2017, five years ago. And for a brief few moments, the fanbase knew not of conflict or pain; only joy.
Developed by Christian Whitehead and Headcannon (a studio operated by Simon ‘Stealth’ Thomley, a collaborator with Whitehead on past Sonic mobile projects) in association with PagodaWest Games, Sonic Mania tried to answer the question, “What if a ‘new’ 2D Sonic game was made for the SEGA 32X?” If Mania is any indication, that game would have been pretty great.
From its crazy announcement at a Sonic community event in the US, to the game's appearance at Summer of Sonic and a critically acclaimed launch, Sonic Mania is quite rightly loved by many - if not most - fans around the world. For many fans - myself included - the game actually reignited their passion for the blue blur and made everyone believe that Sonic could be great again.
Let’s use this article to share our memories and favourite moments from the game! There are loads of great highs for me, but a particular highlight is the Silver Sonic cameo in Stardust Speedway’s boss event. So good! What are your favourite memories of the game?
