Lara-Su Chronicles was never good

How dare you.

Will there be more soundtrack reveals or Special Stage theme was the last?

I just want more fucking Mania news before the game hits in 2 weeks. Fuck!

There should be a few more before launch, I mean we're getting a new trailer on the 14th so why wouldn't we get more songs?

I want a decent rip of Mirage Saloon!

I hope the game has different paths that can be exploited.

I wish I was friends with Cybershell.
If you could live in any zone, what would it be pals?

Nice. Now I'm gonna look up what other Knuckles routes you can reach.

Aquatic Ruins
It has water, fruits, and plenty of arrows to hunt

The zone where you kill yourself

>2 weeks.
EEEEEEE
I can't fuckinng wait

What platform are you lot getting it on?

Have the reverse now.

steam and switch

Sonic in Knuckles path in Marble Garden Act.2.

Pretty much every Knuckles route in the Sonic 3 half. Not sure about S&K though.

At this point the only news we could possibly get is that the game has been delayed again

I just hope I don't have any extra lives when I get there.

Steam. I used to follow that pcmr rule of "no preorders" but god damnit ive waited 14 years for this game i want to play it as soon as I can

What's the Bonus Stage like? We haven't seen it yet.

Steam, though i'm really scared since my PC hasn't been on his best conditions lately
But the PS4 version around here is like twice the price so fuck that

Probably should have mentioned that I'm getting it for Switch and the PS4 later on.

Steam.
And like this dude I broke my no preorder rule for it. The wait is fucking killing me.

I went for the PC version in case of mods. When I ever get a Switch though I think I'll double dip & get it on there also.

I preordered the Collectors Edition with a Steam key, if it doesn't arrive on time I'm gonna download it on Switch the minute it's up

>every day tensions on the world stage rise
>just hope that everything doesn't implode before Sonic Mania releases

I just want to play this before I die.

GET HYPE

Sounds like the game has gone gold already:

The thing could run well even on potatoes. Do I need to paste the minimum requirements?

Thanks for the webms. That's pretty cool, I'll have to try those next time I play.

Spagonia seems nice.

...

Is Super Tails in the game?

Sonic 3's sprite was the best

Sonic 3 best Sonic

Necessary reading.

Casino Night Zone would be fun.

Super Emeralds are confirmed not to be in so I would say no.

I don't think I like Knuckles not having a mouth.

Just retcon Super Tails to work with Chaos Emeralds.

Sonic 2 is best, you all have shit taste

Hope people make a mod for a Sonic 3esque sprite in mania

Tails not having a super form is the drawback of his flying making it easier to reach the special stages. its balance

No problem, 3&K is super fun to fuck with. Have a bonus.

But now the game is being designed with Tails being able to carry Sonic even in 1P mode

Sonic Mania is by far the best sprite in the franchise.
>This much shit taste in such a short span of time
Jesus Christ we need an exterminator.

Is there any difference between 3 and K sprites?

I think Sonic looks worse in Sonic 3 which is one of the reasons I don't like 3&K as much as CD.

s3 looks like total shit standing still but actually looks fine when in motion

K sprites' a little more hardcore, he's clenching his hands harder and his spikes are slightly up

I really like the Knuckles GBA sprite.

Oh gosh, am I going to have to make a running version now?
I don't wanna.

>I don't like S3K that much because of a single sprite.
See

Not like you have anything better to do anyway, Mania is 16 days away

make sure it's them running at full speed

So, one of the sprite artists today has tweeted a couple of little portraits of sonic charachters, all of them in sonic mania stages. However according to a post on sonic retro (forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=35709&view=findpost&p=900828) originally knux was in hydrocity, but it was pulled down and swapped with this one.
Hydrocity hole confirmed?

wtf?
>Beta Sprites
>Starlight Zone music

Am I tripping balls right now?

Can you do one for the idle animations?

sonic 3 sprites make a beautiful use of sega's shit palette
the only flaw is that they went lazy with the idle animation and didn't make him turn to the camera
>muh crosseye
>muh clown shoes
meme arguments

fine, but I'm leaving out Sonic 3D.
And Mania too, since there's no sheet.

I was going to post this, cunt.

Thank you hunni

Hopefully this means no Labyrinth.

I fucking hope. Hydrocity is a great zone.

So this might be sacrilege given popular opinion on Sup Forums but I also really love Aquatic Ruin and have always wished the concept could have been better expounded upon - the zone's brevity being my only real complaint in 2. Honestly with as good as Hydrocity already is in 3, I almost wish Aquatic Ruin could get the remix treatment from Mania.

That said Chemical Plant looks to have a new definitive version incoming and I already fucking loved that zone so no complaints here concerning S2 rep.

gotta post fast, faggot

>originally knux was in hydrocity, but it was pulled down and swapped with this one.
Oh my god, that's super fucking hype as hell, I'm so glad something about Hydrocity Zone possibly being in it came out, I needed this.

I was putting all three images together in the mean time.

>didn't screencap
Sounds like bullshit, but if it isn't HYDROCITY CONFIRMED BAYBEE

>tfw the best running animation never got used

Steam

ALL OF THEM

except xbone

Aquatic Ruin is a nice zone. Is it unpopular?

I know you can do it!

>Aquatic Ruin
I actually wished. Hydrocity is already pretty good, aquatic ruin with extra shit would be nice. People say that hydrocity is the best water zone but aquatic is 10/10 material already, except if you take the top path is a bit too short. Maybe it is the music that cement hydrocity in people's mind
I didn't even see it, I'm just reporting the retro post. I tried google cache for twitter but it is a couple of days behind

So what's the lore behind Sonic revisiting all these zones? Forgive me a little as I haven't kept up with the story since reading the booklets as a kid but Sonic lives on South Island right? So that covers Green Hill if he still lives there. What's the reason for going back to all the other locations? Just chasing that new spooky energy around? I guess that works.

Yes

Labyrinth is good.
People need to get over this.

Are people just parroting that shitter ExoParadigmGamer? I fucking love Aquatic Ruin.

Some comments are also mentioning the background change, the guy from Sonic Retro is not lying.

I don't know who that is, but sounds like a fag

Station Square

>one of the reasons

We already knew Hydrocity was in though

Collision Chaos Good Future

...

>no loops or slopes of any kind at all
This is what makes it the most boring Sonic zone by default. The underwater parts just drag it down even further.

His channel is geared toward entry level gamers trying to find the "best" versions as entry points into a given series. That said his criticisms of classic Sonic games range from fair to fucking retarded. Doesn't help that his classic Sonic review videos waste a shit ton of time arguing with the fanbase instead of just fucking covering the game itself.

His other videos were somewhat tolerable. Like when I was trying to learn more about the DS remake of Mario 64 I found his video helpful. But my God his Sonic 2 video was just utter garbage.

>Maybe it is the music that cement hydrocity in people's mind
Nah, I just find Hydrocity Zone so much more interesting compared to Aquatic Ruin Zone. Even the water sections have more shit going on with fans, ropes you hang on, the badniks shoot projectiles & slowly bite away at your rings, you have the bubble shield so stress from drowning is minimal, you blast out of walls from the water, you run over water, there are slides that turn into corkscrews up & down, they take advantage of the water physics & speed to bring you up to higher locations for sections after a ramp in Act.2 and for me it's just so aesthetically pleasing with it's cool-blue design going on & the background having stuff like Sonic statues.

Aquatic Ruin Zone while I like it a lot (I actually didn't care much for it originally but the past few months it's really grown on me, I love it's music & theme now) doesn't have much going on underwater, you have some grounds that crumble, blocks falling down on you making you stop in place, those weird springs you run over from Chemical Plant & 1 time the arrows come out at you in Act.2 but that's about it, it can also be fucked with like this which sure is faster but I find it less interesting in comparison to Hydrocity Zone.

Just beat Sonic 3 and Knuckles on S3C as Sonic for the first time. Definitely a great time, but I think some of the levels dragged on for too long. Besides that, it's now one of my favorite games. Very excited for Sonic Mania.

Is there any way to get the Hydrocity image using an archive or something?

I love how the fastest route is the bottom one.

>gamers

Theres a google cache but its only saved for a few days ago

>tfw actually excited for a playable nigger sonic

And that means...?

So there's no way Hydrocity isn't in right?
