A Manic Announcement

"A Manic Announcement" is a high quality announcement video by SiIvaGunner. It was made in the style of the  trailer and used to announce Haltmann's Highest Quality Video Game Rips.

Summary
The video is an animated "trailer" for Grand Dad Mania in the style of Sonic Mania. Grand Dad, Smol Nozomi, and Loud Nigra make appearances as the main characters. Grand Dad is drawn with his signature wáng" (王) symbol (the Mario M is drawn and quickly replaced), Loud Nigra sports the yellow star used in Title Theme & Ending - 7 GRAND DAD (with a different sprite), and Nozomi's sprite is her smol version. Grand Dad uses his club to defeat enemies, Nozomi can fly upwards (like Tails) using her hair, and Nigra can slide and punch like Knuckles.
