Sonic Mania Intro Animation

It's just another day until console players can get their hands on Sonic Mania, with PC players only 16 days away from the speedy blue goodness of everyone's favourite hedgehog (yeah, you heard that right Mrs Tiggywinkle, nobody likes you any more). If you can't wait that long though, then you can sample what happens when you start playing with the new opening animation video posted to the game's official YouTube Channel. Check it out above.

Sonic Mania is a collaboration between Sega and Christian Whitehead. Starting life as a fan project, it has evolved into one of two full-blown official Sonic released in 2017, set to be followed up by the 3D platformer Sonic Forces at the end of the year.
