Sonic Mania was released in 2017 and is available on every major console as well as mobile devices and Netflix. It was created to celebrate Sonic's 25th anniversary and it's special as th game was not developed by Sonic Team, but by a team of fans headed by Christian Whitehead.

Now Sonic and friends must revisit areas from their past as well as new places as they chase down Dr. Eggman and the Heavies so they can recover the Ruby and foil Dr. Eggman's plan of reconquering Little Planet. Get ready for an epic adventure that will take us across South Island, West Side Island, Angel Island, and Little Planet as we face illusions and new and old enemies. Get ready...for some MANIA!
