The set comes wrapped in an outer cardboard case that’s brimming with classic-style Sonic art. The side even says “WELCOME TO THE NEXT LEVEL,” spelled in the classic Sega promo font and everything. The inner box is similar but has a neat door that opens to reveal the contents through a plastic window. It’s perfect for those who want to display their CE but don’t to actually remove anything. The developers modeled the gameplay on Sonic 3, with boss fights at the end of each zone. For returning stages, the designers made the first act feel familiar, and introduced new elements in the second act. [27] The team cited Sonic CD and Sonic 3 as major influences on the level design for their "big, wide open" and "streamlined" designs, respectively. [26] According to Thomley, the team typically decided what elements to include in the returning stages prior to designing them, but sometimes came up with new ideas or changed them based on how the development progressed. [26] The first original level designed was the Hollywood-themed Studiopolis Zone. [28] The desert-themed Mirage Saloon Zone was inspired by an unfinished level from Sonic 2 and the Monument Valley region of the United States. [23] [27] The special stages were inspired by more recent games such as Sonic Rush (2005) and Sonic Colors (2010). [29] The team felt proud of their recreation of classic Sonic gameplay.

Sonic Mania was announced alongside Sonic Forces at the 25th anniversary Sonic event at the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) convention in July 2016. [36] The game was also featured at South by Southwest (SXSW), [37] the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), [38] and SDCC in 2017; at SDCC 2017, attendees received a promotional instruction manual for the game. [13] The game was announced for the second quarter of 2017, but Sega announced at SXSW that it had been delayed to allow for more development. [39] Speculation and hype also filled the air regarding the collector’s edition (CE) of Sonic Mania, which was available for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. Excluding the system logo on the box, each version is identical, since no physical game was included. To be honest, I was sold the moment I saw the statue it included of Sonic standing on a Genesis console. In my mind, THAT was the star item, and the game itself could almost be considered a bonus (seriously, it’s Sonic ON A GENESIS!). As much as I’ve come to love Sonic’s latest 2D outing, I really am awed at the amount of attention Sega put into this collector’s edition. It really is a piece for the ages.
