Schwartz’s Tweet about playing through Sonic Mania can be found embedded below.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Sonic Mania is the most recent 2D Sonic game. Released in 2017 across a number of different platforms, Mania is often considered one of the best Sonic video games ever made. There are a lot of strong Sonic games available on modern consoles, and fans can be pretty particular about their favorites, but Sonic Mania is one of the more universally enjoyed entries.
Of course, Schwartz probably doesn’t need too much help preparing for Sonic the Hedgehog 2‘s press tour. In the first film, the actor displayed a strong knowledge about what makes the character tick, delivering a fun take on Sega’s blue blur. Schwartz will reprise his role in the sequel, alongside the rest of the film’s main cast, including Jim Carrey, James Marsden, and Tika Sumpter. Colleen O’Shaughnessey will reprise her role as Tails in the film, while Idris Elba will debut as Knuckles. With so many familiar faces from the games, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 almost feels like a big-screen version of Sonic Mania; hopefully, it will receive a similar level of praise!
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 arrives intheaters on April 8th. Until then, readers can check out all of ourprevious coverage of the film right here.
