The spheres are back!
When we got word thatspecial stages would returnforSonic Mania, I tried to name my favorite type and came up short. I couldn’t name a winner, even just taking the classic games into consideration. I liked each of thespecial stagesfor different reasons. Turns outSonic Maniais not only doingSonic CD-style 3D running stages, but also bonus stages that look straight out ofSonic 3. That’s so great!
Love ’em or hate ’em, the blue and red spheres are back. They’re tricky little suckers, especially when you’re only a handful of spheres away from reaching the goal and your nerves start getting the better of you. “Where the hell are they? I’ve looked everywhere!” It’ssucha good feeling when you finally track down that last set, collect them all, and get the eff out of there. you may breathe again.

As a lapsed fan, it sure is nice to be genuinely excited about aSonicgame.
