There is extreme care built into every loop, spring pad, and corkscrew. Level designer Jared Kasl’s work is arguably the most noteworthy.

In seeking to produce the best retro remix possible, Sega recruited well-known modders and hackers.
Much of Sonic Mania’s success is owed to the many fans turned designers attached the project. It channels the best parts of the series’s glory days - the speed, the twitchy action, the Rube Goldberg level design - and largely improves on them.
