Sonic Mania Plus is out tomorrow, bringing the original game back to store shelves with a raft of extra content, such as long lost characters, Mighty and Ray. The wonderfully retro platformer leans heavily into 90s nostalgia, and the above new commercial for the game reinforces that by imitating an old ad for the original Sonic the Hedgehog.
It's a fun trip down memory lane for those old enough to remember the fast-talking salesman desperate to sell you a Super Nintendo. Not only that, but it also pokes fun at modern gaming topics, such as loot boxes and annual releases. For those that don't recall the original advert, here's the old version for comparison.
Are you planning on picking up Sonic Mania Plus? Speed down to the comments below.

Hate to be that guy but how about those of us that own Sonic Mania ? Is it a free upgrade or is it $9.99
@ShadowWarrior It's not a free upgrade, it'll be premium DLC.
@Quintumply
Of course paid preminum DLC just like every other company. so sega is just like every other company but hey everybody knows the more you pay the more u win. XD
Of course, I have the main game so it's only $5 for the dlc
@ShadowWarrior It's $5 upgrade if you have sonic mania.
@ShadowWarrior It's gonna be $5 for two new characters, the encore mode and 4-player multiplayer. Given that Mania's the sort of game you can -easily- spend hundreds of hours playing if you're into speedruns, challenge runs or the robust extras menu (including the option to play with the physics from past Sonic games); $5 extra for even more options is hardly the end of the world.
I'm glad I didn't bought the Sonic Mania original so I can get that shiny cover
@ShadowWarrior Why should they give away premium content for free, though? The price seems totally fair for what they're offering, and if you don't agree then don't buy it.
@get2sammyb
