Sonic Mania Plus Reviews
Sonic Mania Plus is the best version of a great game. It feels good to be talking about Sonic in a positive light once again.
Sonic Mania Plus on the Switch is the best way to play the best Sonic game in over 20 years.
As if Sonic Mania had not already made a successful return to the golden age of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Mania Plus now crowns it as the best 2D Sonic game out there, offering the experience that all the dedicated fans of the series could hope for, along with a new gaming mode that allows a different approach to the plot and two new characters that despite not bringing any remarkable change, are still welcome in this new effort to bring back the finest that the Sonic world has to offer.

A year or so after the release of Sonic Mania, here comes Sonic Mania Plus, a version that adds new stuff like 2 more playable characters - Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the squirrel (who is not very pleasant), a competition mode for 4 players and more importantly Bis Mode that let us discover redesigned levels, great for those who know the original by heart. And it's still an extraordinary platformer for the blue hedgehog's fans.

With some smart alterations to the base game provided free of charge, and brand new ways to play both the original and new remixed stages, Sonic Mania Plus is a fantastic encore to one of the best platformers in recent years.
Sonic Mania was a true return to form for the mascot, in his 2D 'Classic' guise at least, and celebrated the glory days of the original games while also enhancing their qualities and taking on new ideas. From new areas, imaginative second acts and some delightful boss encounters, the development team poured a lot of passion and talent into the project. Sonic Mania Plus takes that solid foundation and - in all honestly - doesn't do a great deal to mess with it. The new characters and modes are welcome, and there are some neat tweaks which iron out some of the kinks present in the original release, but on the whole this is an enhanced edition of the game rather than a feature-rich update. If you've still not sampled the delights of Sonic Mania then this is clearly the version to get, but if you're an existing owner then the low asking price of the DLC update make this well worth a look; we'll take any excuse to dive back into one of the best 2D platformers of recent memory.
Sega's famous blue porcupine continues to enjoy new lifeblood with this re-version: Sonic Mania Plus brings the beautiful platformer of 2017 in physical format, enriching it with a series of in-game and collectible content that make the purchase essential for those who have not played the original title.

Sonic Mania Plus is the best Sonic game of modern times, quite possibly the best Sonic game of all time. With all the right things in place with the original release, then adding two new characters and remixing levels to add a new level of challenge, Sonic Mania Plus is a must have game.
Sonic Mania Plus is an excellent addition to an already fine game and easily the best Sonic game in years.
Overall, Sonic Mania Plus adds even more features to an already awesome game! I had a lot of fun playing this game and would highly recommend it to anyone, but especially to fans of the older Sonic titles.
The new Angel Island Zone is just icing on the cake. If you've already played through Sonic Mania before, there's ample reason to pick Sonic Mania Plus up too, especially if you're a fan of the Blue Blazer. There's enough new content to digest, and the art book is pretty great, even if it's just a little trinket. Now... how long do we have to wait for a proper sequel?
Sonic Mania Plus it's an outstanding director's cut for a masterpiece in the Sonic franchise.

Sonic Mania was easily the best title to star Sega's mascot in years and Sonic Mania Plus builds upon these foundations to give fans a more refined and content packed version of the Blue Blur's triumphant return to two dimensions.
Whether you have not played Sonic Mania or are just looking to add on more time with the game, Sonic Mania Plus is definitely worth checking out. With this release, I hope that Sonic Mania 2 is possibly in our future.
Sonic Mania Plus is a must-have for gaming fans of all types. If you're a fan of the Genesis games, this is exactly what you've been waiting for. If you're more of a new fan, Sonic Mania Plus shows you why the series was so revered in the first place. If you already own the main title, the DLC is an excellent add-on at a reasonable price, especially for the amount of stuff you'll get.
Sonic Mania Plus gives fans an authentic experience in a new way by taking Sonic's roots and elevating its gameplay.
Sonic Mania Plus makes a fantastic game even better and brings new characters for old fans to enjoy.
Not only this is a great Sonic game made even better with the new 'Plus' expansion, it also comes packaged in with a physical version that might as well be a collector's item with the efforts spent on it to make it resemble the classic Sonic games on Sega Genesis.
It might not be an entirely new game, but Sonic Mania Plus manages to feel just as fresh as the original Sonic Mania did a little over a year ago.
Sonic Mania or have yet to play it, Sonic Mania Plus delivers more of the same great gameplay the original game provided.
