With all DLC hot and ready to go, John felt like a kid on Christmas morning. He played through the game's many levels, collecting chaos emeralds and competing for the top spot on the leaderboards.
As he searched for the game, John stumbled upon a website that offered a download link for Sonic Mania, specifically version 1060503, which included all DLC (downloadable content). The website claimed that this version was the most up-to-date and included all the extra features and levels that had been released.
John chose to play as Sonic and began his journey through the game's various zones. The gameplay was just as he had hoped - fast-paced, challenging, and incredibly fun. He sped through Green Hill Zone, marveling at the beautiful graphics and precise controls.
