Sonic Mania during it’s honeymoon phase was great fun but many years later I never find myself going back and playing it, I feel people overhype it too much, most of the levels are just rehashed old levels, the special stages are the worst imo they’re basically Sonic R lite (I think even Chaotix had better special stages), Studiopolis is overrated too, Mirage Saloon is the best new stage all only brought down by the fact that Act 1 is just a lame Sky Chase and very short, HydroCity? Hydrossity? Is the worst rehashed stage with its slow bubble gimmick where you have to slowly float inside bubbles to progress and it’s a huge downgrade from the original.

Mania was riding high off the shitshow of Boom and other MobileSlop games, that’s how low Sonic standards were, crazy to think about.
