Nostalgia in a box. I can't get enough of the Sega boot up sound with the genesis being my first system and sonic being my first game this brings back so many memories. I only wished that the game was physical instead of digital.

Some new elements were added, and the pixels look great. You can tell this is still old school Sonic, but it still sets itself apart with new bosses and features. The bonuses from this physical collector's edition make are so nostalgic. "SEGA"!

Really like the thought that went into this collector's edition. The game is re done and is amazing. So much fun. Feel like I picked it up for the first time. Sonic is even better... if you can believe it. The statue is great, its detailed to pay homage to where it all started for sonic. Love it. Really wish sega would make a virtual console, actually made by sega i mean

The game itself is fantastic, feels like it belongs in the 90's, which is a good thing. The set is great too, the statue is a lot bigger than I thought it'd be and the game cartridge is an added bonus.

If you are a Sonic fan then this is a must. The figure is large. We just love how the whole package is put together. And of course the game is the best part. The retro look is awesome!

Absolutely love this Sonic Game! Sonic Mania brings me back to my childhood. Being a 90’s kid, I always played the Sega Genesis and Sega Saturn Sonic games constantly and always enjoyed all of them! This game looks like the Sega Genesis Sonic games, feels like them, and plays just like them! Absolutely love the Sonic figurine standing on the Sega Genesis console! I totally recommend Sonic Mania to retro video gamers and classic Sonic fans! It’s defintiely worth the money!

Sonic Mania is the 2D Sonic game that fans have been waiting ages for. As a big fan of Sonic's Genesis titles, I was very pleased with the product and it's overall tribute to the classic Sonic games. While the game is fantastic in every way, newcomers to the series may not get all the little references included, but it's still worth a play if you'd like to see how older fans developed their love for the series.

I think this is a great addition to any collector's library. The base of the statue alone brings back such nostalgia! The game itself is amazing and is a true fan service to old Sonic games. If you enjoy Sonic, this is a must have for any system. I think the portability of the Switch cannot be beat, and great to see some third party (even though Nintendo owns Sega!) titles coming back to Nintendo.

The redeemable code worked perfectly in the Nintendo eStore. The game is really fun if you like the Sonic series of games, lots of nostalgia in the levels and the game feel.
