>Game knows its a game
>0/10 BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY

the blunder is that you can't play knuckles and knuckles featuring knuckles the echidna in anything but no-save mode.

OH NO.

>knuckles & knuckles mania featuring knuckles from the Knuckles the Echidna series

KNOCK KNOCK

>reddit culture
The fact that you came up with this phrase shows you have advanced autism, buddy.

so this is one of the extras? kind of lame 2bh, i was hoping you could unlock some of the genesis or even dreamcast era sonic games

I don't get it. What is the meme supposed to be?

>new game gets released
>TIME TO PROMOTE MY CHANNEL ON Sup Forums V FOR A GAME THAT I REALLY LIKE

What do you classify as reddit culture?
Do you force yourself to hate any joke that leaves this website?

How fast does it eat battery on switch handheld mode?

2Fast

With all the hype and positive words said about Sonic Mania, I'm seriously considering picking it up. However, I have no idea how to play a Sonic game.

They've always been confusing to me. Are you trying to acquire and hang onto as many rings as possible, or do they not really matter outside of lives?

Are you trying to complete levels as fast as possible or are you supposed to regularly stop and explore? The focus on speed in the game is a little confusing to me, as it seems like you'll be quickly ushered through gigantic parts of the game in the name of speed. Are you expected to kind of backtrack and explore the area that you just zoomed through?

Should you be seeking out every TV to smash? What rewards do these garner? What about enemies? Should you be trying to kill them all or is it okay to just run past them?

What do you need to do to acquire the giant ring (no idea if that's what it's called)? What makes it invisible/unattainable and what unlocks the ability to acquire it? What's the benefit of acquiring the giant ring?

I have other questions, but I guess I'll just leave it at that for now.

reddit culture as in bazinga culture brah.
Not him but its a basic buzzword and you need to get with the memes my man.

way too easy

yep, that does it. Not buying this fucking piece of shit.

...

Those saying Mirage Saloon is too short play it again as Knuckles

KNUCKLES

anyone else notice when you fight the ninja robot boss that it uses the shinobi sound effects

FUCK you

i thought WE fucking came up with it!

because i know we did because i was on a thread like 2 years ago when shit was new and we all laughed and laughed. probably stolen by reddit though, like EVERYTHING is.

>They've always been confusing to me
i think you might be retarded lad

Which Heavy is best Heavy?

>what do I do????
play how you find them fun holy fuck. Do modern gamers need a fucking waypoints and an objective marker for everything?

I don't get it, whats the meme, whats the reddit culture shit?

Act 2 is fucking HARD as Knux and I can't find any boner rings in 1

What's do the japs think of this gaijin game?

KNUCK KNUCK ITS KNOCKLES

Magician. He has style and taste

Heavy Gunner.

>Posted someone video and pic to proves that its not fake.
>believes that OP is promoting youtube channel

heh
2 of them are girls and you wouldn't even know it if you didn't read the bios because they are all shaped similar.

fuck you SJWs!

japs dont care about sonic. they care about yakuza, and before that it was sakura wars & VF.

...

Shinobi has been my person fav so far but magician came close

magician is a girl bro
yeah, i know...

Wow, you must be a fucking retard.

>mfw press garden act 2
>mfw the egg ninja has the shinobi sound effects

>reached Flying Battery Zone
>already have 4 emeralds

Trying to get Super Sonic on my first play through. I actually already found 7 Bonus Rings, but I fucked up once on the third emerald and twice on the fourth.

We did. Then the OP took all the shit we made and put it on reddit claiming that it was "a reddit original".

?

>motobug jimmy
holy fuck is that a reference to polygon Jim?

So, from what I can tell, Eggman fucking ZA WARUDO's you to the next place convenient?
What?

NEW WAIFU

Ken Penders is fuming right now

Fuck you Act 2 is the sickest shit in the game outside of Studiopolis

The "true" way to play Sonic games is to collect enough rings to enter a Special Stage, which gives you one Chaos Emerald for completing. If you get all seven emeralds and defeat Dr. Robotnik, then you have "won."
You can play through all the levels without getting the emeralds, but in Sonic 1 you get a "try again" screen at the end.

All will be explained, kind of. Just keep playing. [I AM THE EGGMAN]'S true power will be revealed.

I just want them to stop with the memes. They're not funny.

Are there any speedruns of Sonic Mania yet?

There are multiple ways to play. It's a design choice from an era when kids would get one game every few months at best so they had to last. You can speed run the game for the best time which usually involves exploring to figure out the best way. You can also try to "100%" the game by getting the seven chaos emeralds which, again, usually involves exploring and figuring out where the rings are. You can also just play it for fun. I was at a firiend's house on Sunday for board games. They were in the middle of a game when I arrived, so I just played Sonic 2 & Knuckles for an hour while they finished since he keeps his Genesis set up all the time.

I keep dying at the electricity part and I'm FUCKING PISSED and I lost both bonus stages fuck

Gunner>Magician>Shinobi>Rider

I'm 2bad to get the chaos emeralds (at least on a first try) so I haven't seen King yet.

You know what? That may have sealed me getting this game.

But Act 2 has rain, the only weather effect in the game. Which is right after Studiopolis. Who's Act 2 boss is about weather forecasts. Which leads into Flying Battery really nice.

This game's good

What the fuck is wrong with you? Just play it if you want to.

This is a Copypasted post from Neogaf, literally.

How retarded can someone be?

About as fast as you gobble cocks

>electricity part

nigga just take a high route

It's half exploring with platforming and half high speed, the mastery coming from clearing levels quickly. You can enjoy taking your time since the levels in classic sonic games are pretty big to compensate for how fast the characters move, and Mania's are even bigger. The rings act as both your health and a way to get extra lives. As long as you have one ring, you won't die from getting hurt (minus death pits, getting crushed, or drowning.) Collect 100 rings for an extra life.

Exploring the level will net you some secrets and generally a faster path if you can stay on the higher routes. The game itself isn't too long if you want to blaze through it, and is meant to be replayed to find new paths and secrets in the stages. Most of the TVs give some sort of reward such as 10 rings, a shield to protect you from one hit and also some special traits on three of them (bubble - a bounce and underwater breathing, fire - a forward lunge attack, safety from fire, and burning a few kinds of platforms, electric - attracts rings, double jump for Sonic, and some magnetic properties.) The active abilities of shields (by pressing jump twice) are just for Sonic since Tails and Knuckles have natural abilities that increase their vertical and horizontal movement, but they still get the passive bonuses. Shields also deflect projectiles. Enemies are just there as obstacles and extra points. You can kill them or pass them.

The giant ring should be available in every hidden spot unless you fail the bonus round in that spot, which you can't re-enter until you reset the level I think by backing out to the main menu. There are multiple so if you're looking to collect the chaos emeralds for the true ending and a super form for each character, explore and find those big rings. Exploring does have a time limit though of 10 minutes per act but the stages generally help you get through them in a timely fashion, even when you take some time to look around.

Seriously.

I don't if these people are being serious.

I don't get why Super Peel Out and Insta shield are locked to options in no-save mode. Or why they're options at all. You could easily have all three as sonic (just have insta shield be a press while the drop dash is hold)

Damn, this should be an extra minigame.

I can't i keep falling

you mean the part where you can just smash the balls next to the coils to shut down the electricity?

reeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sega can just reboot his backstory

>that entire thread

Holy fucking shit, that place is a fucking trashcan on fire

>Game manual on switch is actually a website
>You use a web browser to read the manual
>It's blazing fast

REEEEEE FUCK OFF NINTENDO LOCKING A WEB BROWSER AWAY FROM US GIVE IT TO US NOW

Because Mania wasn't intended to be played with those mechanics.
They're just fun extras to unlock, and if you're that bent on getting and using them you'll clearly be insane enough to try to clear the game without saving.

I'm bad at games but I'm still mad. I'm a fucking Mad Scrub

Magician is mai waifu

>Those replies.
Neogaf, not even once.

...

if the game was on a cart or disc, it wouldn't have this issue. its weird playing a genesis era sonic style game on a nintendo system

THE GREAT DEBATE
strawpoll.me/13713051

It is. You can unlock it if you beat enough Blue Spheres.

someone did a complete run with the three characters

nothing unlocked, that's quite the disappointment

I cant understand why they didn't think of putting Rosy, or why Metal Sonic has every animation but cant be played

Don't make me choose you nigger

>Fire shield in Oil Ocean

Did they complete time attack?

how much until the superior version betatesters?

>Bean shows up
>lol jk it's just Magician using transformations

>Dr.Eggman

Its Robotnik, Sega you cunt

>all the retards that say that classic sonic is unfair/hard/too complex are from neofag
now we know

free dlc?
updates down the line?
something man, even if nothing, its still a damn 10/10 game in an era of AAA bullshit

you'll get our table scraps on the 29th.

I'm on my first play-through and I'm having a blast, but i found a gamebreaking bug. I found a way somehow to get past the press garden boss without beating him, so now I'm just frozen and waiting for robotnik who is wiating for me to finish the boss while the boss is offscreen still attacking and stuff, I think i have to restart my console.

Did anybody else get anything like this?
