Sonic Mania worked because it was a tribute to classic Sonic, featuring a helping of enhanced classic levels mixed in with some new ones, which set itself out as a separate title in the series. I like this approach, as it gives gamers the chance to play through the games and experience the levels without worrying about a Game Over or hashing up special stages along the way. You can also use the coins to unlock some of the bonus content like artwork, music tracks and videos in the Museum. You get Infinite lives as well as earning coins as you play through the levels, which you can use for things like retrying special stages to nab those chaos emeralds and become Super Sonic.

What is new though is the ‘anniversary mode’ which presents the games in full widescreen but with some extra treats. You have the choice of playing the games in 4:3 just like you would on a Mega Drive with standard rules in which case they are pretty similar to the originals, so nothing new there. When it comes to Sonic 1, CD and Sonic 2, these are modified versions of the mobile ports that were built off the same engine, which is an interesting call.
This is some of the same crew that also helped make Sonic Mania a few years back. The original code has gone out the window and in its place are versions built on the ‘retro’ engine by Head Cannon with a little help from Christian Whitehead. In Sonic Origins, these aren’t emulated versions of the classics, they are more like relatively identical remakes.
