Finally, a top game again! Sonic Mania Plus is finally a good Sonic game again. SEGA has been producing a series of not very good Sonic games for years. So, it's really great to see that there is finally a top game again.
The gameplay is great and the music is even better, although the game can be quite challenging at times, which can be seen as either an advantage or a disadvantage. Also, the game is not very long, which is a bit disappointing.
Nevertheless, I definitely recommend this game. It may be completed in 5 to 10 hours, but those hours are definitely worth it.

Top-notch Fanservice Sonic Mania Plus may look like an old Sonic game, but looks can be deceiving. While the graphics pay homage to the beloved old 2D Sonic games that fans adore, each level is actually new and specially designed for this fresh Sonic adventure.
This makes Sonic Mania Plus a fantastic treat for die-hard Sonic enthusiasts. The game takes the Sonic franchise back to its roots, offering an authentic platforming experience like no other.
Lastly, the game also allows for split-screen multiplayer, so you can enjoy it with a friend or family member, which is always a nice bonus.

When I'm Not Working...
If I were to be in Sonic Mania Plus with Yoshi and Luma, that would be a Fantastic adventure! I imagine us running through the Green Hill Zone, with Yoshi using his tongue to defeat enemies and Luma helping us with his magical powers. We would join Sonic and his friends in battling against Dr. Eggman and his wicked robots. And after a day full of action, we would relax in the Chao Garden, basking in the sun and discussing our next big adventure. Wow, that would be Fantastic!
