At the end of each act, the player takes part in a boss battle against Doctor Eggman, also known as Dr. The title referenced the development team's "maniacal" fandom for the series; Iizuka described the project as being made "by the mania, for the mania", and as a "passion product" driven by the fans' love for the early Sonic games.
