Sonic Mania has an easter egg that makes fun of Sonic’s laughable 25th birthday

Sonic the Hedgehog’s 25th birthday was a bit of a disaster, but thankfully, Sonic Mania has a sense of humour about it.

One of the game’s developers has taken to Twitter to confirm that an audio queue is intentional… and pointed. A buzz in one of Sonic Mania‘s levels is a straight-up sample of a buzzing that plagued a livestream meant to celebrate Sonic’s birthday last year.

The buzzing was discovered by Twitter user UnknownKongYT.

Developer Brad Flick confirmed the buzz was exactly what the gamer had thought.

Sonic Mania is available now on Xbox One, PS4 and Switch and heads to PC later in the month.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
