10 References in Sonic Mania, You might not know about!

[@Kalaheo39]

I love how they added references to advance,colors and unleashed despite the game being a celebration of the classics.

[@timotheravetier9442]

me too, that proves its an AMAZING,OUTSTANDING honor to the series

[@lunakingsley.7247]

They also did some references to the DS games (Ds colors, rush, and rush adventure.).

[@jamiegioca9448]

Somehow, I doubt they come from these games and not from an obscure 8-bit game (Cept for the Good-Great-Awesome-Outstanding-Amazing thing, that's definitely a motherfucking Colors reference)

[@min2793]

​@@jamiegioca9448dont remember 8 bit games having style ratings or whatever you call that and rockets

[@N8thegr8-909]

that's not all

[@JoseMat2953]

Man, seeing the references to the Dreamcast Era and Modern Era of games makes me realize this: They weren't kidding when they called it a celebration of past and future.

[@timotheravetier9442]

me too

[@Realicemot0]

Yeah.

[@Shiro_Zark]

I never knew Tails' Victory animation comes from Tails' Adventure

[@Pespi26353]

Cu5 you hands

[@Popcat-w7e2x]

De soniv beta la scaste

[@NvanRoblox]

Tails adventure was referenced? That was really surprising

[@timotheravetier9442]

this game does everything right

[@GoosyGooseMX]

Are you telling me they really referenced even the prototype features? The people who made Mania REALLY know the franchise better than the Sonic Team.

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

Knuckles's jump in his victory animation is a reference to his attack animation from Advance

[@DanielDX]

Hi Guys! Most of you wanted me to show more references in Sonic Mania, so here it is! But I'm not 100% sure about reference 5 & 10 though. It would be great if you gave the video a like, I appreciate that very much ^^

[@SamuelSonicYt]

Sonic 2 Android:Debug Mode

[@anibry6666]

Tails spining is also a reference to sonic advance

[@finleypenguinanamaits]

What's your favourite gam

[@DanielDX]

@@finleypenguinanamaits My favorite game of all time is Minecraft. My favorite Sonic game is Sonic Generations.

[@callmeryan5734]

I like ur content also can u do ehhh the sanic mania special stage references and the sonic forces

[@thesonicfan8091]

As a sonic fan I recommend this channel guys

[@DanielDX]

Thanks ^^

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

For a person who watches the playthroughs of all of these games I knew 99% of these refrences and I also play some of these Sonic games .

[@Axolotl2630]

But what is the 1% you didn’t know :O

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

@@Axolotl2630 Oh shit , I forgor .

[@ZingZangZote]

Wow, I'm surprised how you found these, especially the Tails spin. Like, I didn't expect a reference from Tails Adventure! I thought that game was lost to time! Shows how much the fans care about Sonic, seeing how this wasn't made by Sega, just published. I am quite good at spotting references and since I never really noticed these, I have liked this video! Keep up the great work Dan! Also at 3:05 in the timestamps, it's meant to say "goggles" but it says "googles," if you could change that it would be very appreciated by me.

[@DanielDX]

Thanks. Also, now it says correctly "Goggles".

[@TheOscarGamer_]

The 3:40 easter egg is from Mania Plus, right? I've never seen that

[@DanielDX]

Yeah, it's playable in bonus stages, accessible through checkpoints in the levels.

[@kieranwoods642]

By the way, it’s only available in Encore mode

[@sillybilly00444]

Btw The Sonic Mania metallic madness also has a reference to the sonic CD final boss.

[@obsoletepoc7050]

It does?? Ik about the reference to Sonic 1's final boss but where's the Sonic CD reference?

[@bartoszszymanowicz6762]

Fun fact : goggles is a unused sonic 1 power up

[@CDSONICONYT8118]

Yeah, it was used in prototype

[@ForktheSquirrel]

I feel like no one notices how Gachapandora also references Metropolis’s from Sonic 2 with the fake lil Eggman

[@FrederickBeats]

Sonic Mania, in my opinion, was a literal celebration of SONIC❤

[@paperluigi6132]

Here’s one. The pinball theme is a remix of the Stage 4 theme from the arcade game SegaSonic the Hedgehog.

[@MrMartellSincere]

Love the reference 🤠

[@VaryingEnthusiast69]

I didn't notice some of these nice

[@JonyPlayz1]

There's just no ending references in this game. Lol

Did you know that tails is scared of lighting? There is a sonic ova reference in mania

[@brucebaird-]

Bruh I thought I was the only one who noticed

[@eldonmariano781]

3:51 the design of dr robotnik its a reference from segasonic arcade

[@Classicsoni]

2:29 2:35 wow wow 2:22 wow

[@cartoonishmoron]

Only ones I got was sonic spinal shaking animation and sonic 1 goggles

[@rbblue1346]

Yep Sonic 1 reference is unused mintor but if u play Sonic 1 on mobile

[@DefNotSonic]

One other thing. The pinball bonus stage music is not original. Its from the arcade game SegaSonic, and the music is from stage 4: trap tower.

[@FireFlareon27]

I KNEW IT WAS SONIC ADVANCE 3!

[@UltimateHakai]

Id say the rocket is closer to sonic rush than sonic unleashed

[@scmtuk3662]

In terms of the general concept of "rockets" however, I'd say the reference is Sonic Adventure

[@naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565]

@@scmtuk3662 Not really, because the rocket's models are different: Adventure's rocket looks and behaves like a missile rocket, goes always to the same direction and doesn't turn even before it launches like in Unleashed, and it doesn't create a firework after the explosion. It looks more like a nod to Sonic unleashed's Firework rocket than Adventure's rockets.

[@brucebaird-]

Wait a sec there’s statues of sonic in hydrocity zone? A level located on angel island, did knuckles build those??

[@letysegovia397]

Do you use pc to record these videos of smp (sonic mania plus

[@DanielDX]

I'm using my Xbox One to record Sonic Mania Plus.

[@THSGC]

Wait... there's googles in Sonic 1?!

[@DanielDX]

It was intended to be in Sonic 1, but was later on scrapped. Later, in the mobile version of Sonic 1, the googles were back and unlockable with debug mode.

i think sonic statues don't count because hydrocity is a remix of hydrocity from sonic 3

[@DarkAnomaly]

Yeah I picked up on all of these because I own all of the Sonic games since the first one and I've played them too.

[@vinceanthonygatchalian3323]

Wait the rocket is not introduced in unleashed it's sa2 or sonic adventure 2

[@alejandradiaz78]

Why is eggman do built like that

[@TBear25]

I know about all classic and advance references) but modern references its something. I don't like modern sonic games lol

[@ilikeminecraft1232]

Yey

[@iljafedorenko3080]

Sonic statues isn't reference, because the whole zone is just hydrocity, so it would be logical, if there would be all details from original

I have not played all of the sonic games 😅

You have all different references

[@Knuckles444]

1 reference on sonic mania, this is zone 2 - it belongs to sonic 2, and not to another game

[@expunged6445]

esas cosa ya lo sabia 🙄🙄🙄 y todos tambien

[@robertwhite3181]

I don't see the connection between mania chemical plant and spinball unless you mean the water, but spinball is not canon as it wasn't made by sonic team, plus sonic was knocked into water off a plane and had to be saved even entr those caves (who else doesn't know as they didn't read the manual), plus (at least in my opinion) I don't think cheats count either, they break the gameplay

[@DanielDX]

The Reference is how Sonic shakes his head.

[@Kn0w-B3tt3r]

Mania wasnt made by sonic team too :p

[@jamesmarowa9434]

Sonic mania is better, change my mind
