Letting Evening Star Slip Through Their Hands:

So then, why? Why not follow it up with literally nothing? He, along with the equally talented Simon Thomley, would tackle excellent remakes of Sonic 1 and 2, before moving on to enlist more talented indie developer Sonic fans to do Sonic Mania, a game born out of high demand for a new classic game, the game would go on to be a huge sales hit and giant love letter to Sonic fans new and old. It started what would come to be a strong relationship with SEGA. Around the same time, Christian Whitehead was enlisted and put out the excellent remake of Sonic CD. While it was a respectable effort, it was still very far off the mark in terms of control and physics. Sonic Generations was another attempt at recreating the classic Sonic look and feel.

From Tyson Hesse animation to Tee Lopes soundtrack passing by Hyper Potion music for the trailers we can feel the passion this game tries to convey. Sonic Mania is a product of love, a collaboration of long time sonic fans and SEGA. Sonic Mania is a Sonic Mania should be praised not only for how awesome this game is but the context this project came out to existence.
