Sonic Mania Adventures

Sonic Mania Adventures is A Cartoon that has good animation and art but the story is very slow at times and it has Adventures in it's title but they are only really exploring one location.I do believe it has Potential to be a very good cartoon but they really need to pick up the pace in the story.

To keep this brief and prevent it from being a book instead of a review, I'll say these shorts are, in a word, magnificent. Without even utilizing voice lines or text bubbles, the creators are able to perfectly capture each of the character's personalities and, using classic Sonic music and sound effects make sure it has a true blue 'Sonic the Hedgehog' feel to it.

The characters are all expressive, vibrant and return to their more Classic representations, as opposed to the 'Sonic and his tag-a-long friends' vibe that comes off from some of the later Modern titles. Smooth animations with cartoonish fun, I think both young and old franchise fans can appreciate it.

I'd hate to end up writing a book about how much I enjoy this mini-series, based on my favorite gaming franchise of all time, but how can I not? That being said, I'll try and keep it to a minimum ahah.

Words cannot, will not, and for sure just can't express how amazingly well done this mini-series is. The animation style captures each character's personality spot-on with no mistakes.

Take Knuckles and the Master Emerald for an example. If you're just getting into the series/franchise, and have no clue what the Master Emerald is, from just watching how Knuckles interacts with it, you can tell of how important it is to him, and that he wants to protect it at all cost.

The animation is very fluent and very smooth, not one thing about it stands out, it captures the characters classic representations very well. The music amazingly produced and up to par with everything that's happening in the animation it truly shows that a LOT of love was put into the development of this mini-series and is truly something that everyone can sit down and enjoy.

Thank you so much for giving us an amazing mini-series SEGA, it's truly the best thing I've seen in a very long while. And brings a smile to me every time I see it.

This series is comprised of five 3 minute episodes, closely based on the classic video games.

there is no voice acting, and the story is effectively told through movement, gestures, facial expressions, and music.

I feel that the first episode achieved the perfect tone for the series. it was reminiscent of Sonic's first cartoon outing; 'adventures of sonic the hedgehog'. his 'attitude' was fast, playful, and cheeky. while dr robotnik (or eggman as he's also known) was an intelligent villain, he wasn't to be taken too seriously. environments were colourful and the light plot didn't drag.

unfortunately as the series went on, it became violent - with too many characters added to keep track of. coincidentally, it mirrored exactly what happened to the game franchise after the original title.

if this series is to develop into anything bigger, I would suggest keeping things simple with a maximum of 3 characters (ideally sonic, tails, and robtnik), light with no fight scenes, fast, and most of all, fun! take cues from the first episode.

While this cartoon has a story that is very understandable to everyone that don't know much about Sonic the Hedgehog and that the animation is appealing to look at, a lot of stuff here present is something that only a Sonic Fan, and those who play Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces, are going to understand. This is a Sonic Fan's cartoon and therefore they will reap the most reward from this. But even if this cartoon is mostly for Sonic Fans there is stuff that a Joe Shmoe can get. Again, the story is simple and compiled with the post credit scenes leaves the watcher wanting more which makes waiting for the next part all the more satisfying.

Also, an animator might like this as well with how detailed the animation is.
