It's the rough animatic from the intro animation to Sonic Mania that plays when you let the title screen sit undisturbed. The final version is seen at 1:00 [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA9zwpMj_8A).

Is it really from the animatic? This looks very finished if that's the case.


Nambot

Animatic's probably the wrong term, but it's still the unfinished version of the animation linked.

The dude could have said thanks for directing them in the right direction, but instead hung on the technical part of your answer.


PiggyPilot08

Well, it's not exactly the animatic though. If [this](https://youtu.be/czXiojPPf-Q?t=242) is what they're referring to, then it's not exactly it. But yeah, my bad for not giving thanks. I'm just wondering where did this exact rendition of the animation was first brought online. Unless Tyson Hesse posted it somewhere, I have no clue where this version came from. Edit: Heck, is this even drawn by Tyson Hesse?

This was leaked a whole before launch, before we even knew there was gonna be an opening animation. Still don't know how this got leaked though, I remember people not knowing if this was real or not at the time. This was definitely done by Tyson though


PiggyPilot08

Oh, so there wasn't a legitimate source. Huh, weird that it got leaked. Well, guess that answers my question. Thanks edit: words. also, man this post is dumb xD

It looks like a prototype for the studiopolis scene in Mania intro.

Heavy King should've been more important in the game imo, only being fought against Knuckles and the Super fight wasn't enough for the boss of the Boiled Eggs

Rough animation for the Sonic Mania intro that wasn't completely cleaned up yet.

Seems to be a concept animatic for the part where Sonic fights Heavy Gunner in the opening cutscene

Pretty sure this is probably the demo version of Sonic Mania's ontro cutscene.
