#SONIC MANIA CHARACTERS UPDATE#
I live in hope that every game we love and remember from our childhood might receive an update as deft and purposeful as this.Last year marked a divisive return for the Sonic series Sonic Mania-an ode to the iconic hedgehog’s 2D era-met critical and commercial success, while Sonic Forces-the latest entry from the Sonic Team-further solidified the series’ unfortunate reputation as a bad fit for 3D gameplay. Artist: Dusk Rocklones Sonic is Sonic in how he appears in Rockclones with low-res pixel art. Artist: Dusk Shadow Sonic (Rocklones) is based on the Comic Clones from the Super Mario Galaxy duology.
#SONIC MANIA CHARACTERS SKIN#
Like Lefty Sonic, she has grey skin with pink cheeks.
#SONIC MANIA CHARACTERS PLUS#
Sonic Mania Plus remains a work of obvious care and astounding attention to detail. Lefty Mario is a female version of Mario.
There’s nothing here that impinges on or diminishes the quality of what was already there, just more of an already good thing. It’s all gravy on what was already a stellar experience. All of this new content is wrapped up in what is the game’s first formal physical release - complete with reversible cover art featuring a Mega Drive era mock-up. A 4-player competitive mode has also been added for those who fondly remember the racing multiplayer from Sonic 3 and even the old Pinball Bonus Level is back in action. The updated version of the game also includes the Encore Mode DLC that gives every level in the game a further refresh to both accommodate for the new characters, as well as adding a handful of new gameplay mechanics and difficulty hurdles for more experienced players. Ray’s moveset is all about gliding - he can leap high into the air and glide to reach higher platforms in a manner very similar to the Tanuki suit in Super Mario Bros. Mighty is capable of performing a massive ground-pound attack and is immune to spikes while rolling, making him wildly overpowered in the opinion of this lifelong Sonic fan. Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel have appeared in Sonic games before - Mighty’s most notable showing was in the Sega 32X spin-off Knuckles’ Chaotix while Ray had previously only appeared in the arcade-only title SegaSonic the Hedgehog in 1993 alongside Sonic and, funnily enough, Mighty.īoth Mighty and Ray come with a suite skills all their own. So what is new in Sonic Mania Plus? There are two new characters added to the roster, taking the total of playable characters to five. This review piece will be about what’s new in Sonic Mania Plus, the game’s first big content update since launch. I’ve written this all already and you can read that review here if you like. It was the kind of modern update that walks an incredibly fine line, paying homage to what came before and pushing the property forward in a meaningful way. I found it to be a breath of fresh air in a series comprehensively and aggressively starved of it for decades. Look, I reviewed Sonic Mania when it launched last year.
