Up until yesterday, any Sonic fan would tell you that the drop dash ability was introduced in Sonic Mania. As of today, we can no longer say that! Turns out the drop dash feature was conceived by SEGA all the way back in 1993. The idea was part of Sonic 3's prototype, but for whatever reason, was cut from the final game. Man, it took quite a long time for this feature to make its way back to the series!
