The RetroBeat: Sonic Mania Plus adds new reasons to play or replay a retro masterpiece

Sonic Mania was one of my favorite games of 2017. I love Sonic’s 2D classics from the Sega Genesis era, so I was delighted to have a new game with that same style.

Now, Sonic Mania Plus is coming to as a standalone release and as a digital upgrade for the original. It adds two new characters (Ray the Flying Squirrel and Mighty the Armadillo) and Encore Mode, a new twist on the original campaign with remixed stages and more. It comes out on July 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
