Not only is the game a load of fun, but with this collector's edition you get some very nice physical items. Development began after lead developer Christian "Taxman" Whitehead, who was previously contracted by Sega to develop enhanced mobile ports of Genesis Sonic games, presented a playable prototype to Sonic Team producer Takashi Iizuka.

As development progressed, he took inspiration from other older Sonic and Sega games, such as The Revenge of Shinobi (1989) and the Sega Rally games, [34] [35] and from 1990s popular music, such as the work of Michael Jackson.

The team used Whitehead's Retro Engine and aimed for a graphical quality between Genesis and Sega Saturn games. The game features animated opening and ending sequences led by Tyson Hesse, one of the artists of the Sonic comics by Archie Comics. Nintendo World Report wrote that it avoided the physics problems from Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and recaptured the spirit of the 16-bit games. According to the review aggregator site Metacritic, Sonic Mania received "generally favorable" reviews. Though it’s not part of the CE itself, Data Discs, vinyl Sonic Mania soundtrack is a superb way to complete an already splendid package.
