So is this the best 2D Sonic experience period?

I thought it was pretty good when it came out but lost interest upon trying to replay it.

Sure.
I prefer Sonic 3&K, but Mania is an understandable alternative.

It's honestly up there with S3&K for me.

why do you prefer it

Mania is in a weird spot. It has so much there for nerds who have been playing Sonic their entire lives, but it's also a very easy game if you've ever played Sonic before. Encore mode could have helped, but didn't.

No contest

Shitty level design.
The only good parts are straight up lifted from other better Sonic games.

S3&K is the better game by virtue of it being 100% original + Hyper Sonic.
But Mania has a lot of modern-day QoL and optimizations, and its few original zones are among the best out of all classic games.
Both are amazing.

It would've been much better is the levels were shorter or if they just got rid of the timer.

I don't think Mania is better than any of the mainline Genesis games. I might even say Advance 1 is better than Mania and is the best 2D Sonic game post 3&K.

No.
It's a recycled/remix of superior games.

The best sonic games are the first one on the Master System, and the first 2 on megadrive.

None of the others are worth playing.

I'd say it plays the best and is objectively the most fun, even if I do prefer CD's surreal weirdness
I have zero interest in Encore Mode and I do not care about extra two playable literal whos whatsoever

I mean it's up there.
Encore Mode could've done more than just character switching and (mostly) stage palette changes but whatever.
