Sonic Mania was released in August 2017 and became the highest-rated Sonic game in fifteen years. The team used Whitehead's Retro Engine and aimed for a graphical quality between Genesis and Sega Saturn games. Art, level design, audio, and additional programming were provided by independent studios PagodaWest Games and Headcannon. Development began after lead developer, director and programmer Christian "Taxman" Whitehead, who was previously contracted by Sega to develop enhanced mobile ports of Genesis Sonic games, presented a playable prototype to Sonic Team producer Takashi Iizuka. The development team was composed of members known for their work in the Sonic fangame and ROM hacking community. The story follows Sonic, Tails and Knuckles as they venture to defeat their nemesis Doctor Eggman and his robotic henchmen, the Hard-Boiled Heavies. It takes place over 13 levels, including several redesigned from past games. Produced in commemoration of the Sonic the Hedgehog series' 25th anniversary and serving as a prelude to Sonic Forces, Sonic Mania pays homage to the original Sega Genesis Sonic games, featuring speedy side-scrolling gameplay. There are very few options in the game menu: players only have a choice to play or quit the game.Sonic Mania is a 2017 platform game published by Sega for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows.
The player will be asked to write their name on the board if their score is at least higher than the lowest score on the board. When the player run out of lives, the game is over and a high score board will be presented. After defeating Eggman in the last zone, the player have to encounter him again in the so-called "Final Act". The boss is always Eggman (running around in the first zone and in his ship in the others). There are a total of 4 zones (Rust Winter, Festival, Riverside and Nocturne), each of which contains 3 levels (two normal levels and a boss level). Obstacles are not varied: just (mostly) deep pits and spikes. Other items are present: Ring TVs (each adds 10 rings) and Sparkle TVs (make Sonic invincible for a while). The difference is that the rings cannot keep Sonic alive - touching any enemy can cost Sonic a life. Like in the original series, rings are present players can collect rings for more points. Sonic attacks only by jumping on enemies' heads he doesn't have the ability to roll or use Spin Dash as in the other games of the Sonic series. Players lead Sonic to the goal while sweeping enemies and avoiding obstacles on the way. Eggman's up to no good again, and only Sonic can stop him! Sonic Zone is a fangame based on the Sonic the Hedgehog series featuring some of the series' characters and very simple controls.
