It's also possibly the first Mania showing of co-op, with Tails lifting Sonic up and flying while holding him in the same manner as was possible in Sonic 3. It shows them smacking Badnik robots, warping between levels by the use of giant rings, and even the new Studiopolis level (which we've played and is excellent). They really are quite good.Īpart from being wonderful, the opening (which continues on from the ending of the pre-order trailer) shows Sonic, Tails and Knuckles riding an elevator to their next adventure, Mania. The music is a song called Friends by Hyper Potions, two talented remix musicians who have done a number of songs for the game and its advertising so far, including the unique song for May's teaser pre-order version of the intro. The Sonic Mania intro is designed, animated and directed by Tyson Hesse, a really talented artist/animator who has worked on the long-running Sonic the Hedgehog Archie comic and is currently working on his own comic, Diesel. And it is even more wonderful than we could have hoped. Now that Sonic Mania's nearly out, this coming Tuesday August 15 in fact, SEGA have released the full intro. The animation was cute, bubbly, hand-drawn, and clearly designed to evoke the opening of Sonic CD. Now excuse me, I just need to get a tissue while I watch that video again.īack in May SEGA gave us a glimpse of the animated intro for Sonic Mania, the upcoming retro-throwback Sonic the Hedgehog title. As an apology, anyone who pre-ordered the PC version will get Sonic 1 on PC. This is because they wanted to further optimize the game, and not because they wanted to rip my heart out and bury it in the back yard. UPDATE: We're sad to report that SEGA have announced that the PC version of Sonic Mania will be delayed two weeks to August 29.
