Free Sonic game for Netflix subscribers

Sonic Mania Plus - NETFLIX is a free-to-play arcade game that brings the classic 2D side-scrolling Sonic the Hedgehog for mobile devices. Exclusive for Netflix subscribers, this contains the original Sonic Mania game, but without the need to purchase the game. Play as the fast-running Sonic, fly around as Tails, or beat enemies up as Knuckles the Echidna.

As a classic game in itself, Sonic Mania Plus - NETFLIX is a great addition to the streaming service’s growing library of games that include GTA: San Andreas – NETFLIX and Kingdom -Netflix Soulslike RPG. Be warned of the game’s notorious difficulty scaling, though.

Guide Sonic and his friends on an adventure

Like the original game, Sonic Mania Plus - NETFLIX contains the improved version of the 2017 Sonic Mania game. As such, it contains additional characters beyond Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Play as Mighty the Armadillo, who can curl into an armored ball and smash the ground, or as Ray the Flying Squirrel with the ability to glide and not lose altitude. 

This version comes exclusive to Netflix subscribers. It faithfully ports the game to mobile devices and is absolutely free to use with an existing subscription plan. Visually, the game retains its retro sensibilities, which makes it additionally nostalgic for players of the original games. The soundtrack and set designs contribute to this as well, with stages such as the Green Hill and the Stardust Speedway. 

It goes without saying that this version of the game requires an active subscription to the streaming platform. Other than that, its faithfulness to the classic Sonic games makes it a step more difficult compared to the modern titles. It is generally challenging, with certain bosses and levels exceptionally more challenging than others. Other than that, it runs smoothly on supported devices and doesn’t suffer from any game-breaking problems.

A great addition to Netflix Games

Sonic Mania Plus - NETFLIX offers an exciting adventure for fans, introducing new playable characters like Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. Exclusive to Netflix subscribers, it faithfully recreates the beloved 2017 game with retro visuals and nostalgic soundtracks. While challenging, it runs smoothly on mobile devices. With its faithful adaptation and additional characters, it provides a thrilling experience for subscribers, enhancing the Sonic universe with familiar yet refreshing elements.
