WRONG

Why are the levels so flat? Wasn't the point of Sonic to have curvy levels?

What the fuck is the Cool Bonus???

This one was fun.

So who's your favorite character to play as and why?

Nu-Sonic Team can't be bothered to make actual slope physics.
Git gud and don't get fucking hit

Why are there so many Sonic Mania threads?

But even Dimps had those in the advance series. Shameful.

I just realized that this level design is worryingly similar to Sonic 4's level design.

Because it's incredible m8

I've seen a lot of folks hyping it up in these last few mania threads, but I think I like Press Garden Act 1's music better than Press Garden Act 2's.

>It's been over 20 years since a proper Sonic game came out
>$20, so many improved levels and gimmicks
>Not made by Sonic Team

FUCKING BLUE SPHERES
I JUST WANT MEAN BEAN MACHINE

Fucking hell? This looks like a tutorial level.

youtube.com/watch?v=vLKK1LwkzDU

So I got all gold metals and it gets you NUFFIN?

What the FUCK

When I was doing this one I was going so fast toward the latter half that I accidentally jumped over one of the blue spheres, continued on through the end, and the yellow sphere waiting at the end that just flings you off to some random part of the maze dropped me right next to the sphere I missed.

Yes, the entire perimeter of blue spheres is surrounded by one of yellow ones, so there might be a way to do it that doesn't involve jumping over the red sphere you've already touched, but the way I described, hitting that specific yellow sphere, will 100% take you through the entire thing without getting bounced to a set you've already done.

thought on Limit Breaker Sonic?

Do it dad!

My favorite level design quirk in mania is that Lava Reef is piss easy with the fire shield as it was before, but the difference in Mania is that the fire shields are hidden JUST out of sight, so you feel better about yourself when you find one. Very good.

You get the satisfaction of knowing you're rougher than the rest of them

BUT GUYS. THEY REPLACED THE WATER WITH SAND. ISNT THAT A CREATIVE GIMMICK?

What exactly am I looking at?

>Was hoping for something cool
>Just an achievement
disappointing.

>Sonic Mania 2
City Escape
Mystic Ruins
Lost World
Station Square
Twinkle Park
Rail Canyon
Pumpkin Hill
Metal Harbor
Hang Castle
Eggmanland
Crazy Gadget

Everything we've seen from that game so far looks like a tutorial level. I really hope the rest of the stages are more complex.

Can't have people thinking they just copy-pasted from generations

I don't chuckle, I'd rather have some kind of unlock reward.

tails cause im a shitter. no need to worry about platforming when you have a free safety net.

I'm a Switchfag, so I literally get NOTHING

you knuckleheads need to stop.

buy a puyo game

...

I tried to fly with Tails and accidentally transformed while grabbing him - the sprites changed to Super while the palette stayed blue

...

>last boss
>you're forcefully teleported to fight the heavies, and can even damage them once or twice if you're really good, but it does no thing
What did they mean by that?

>replace the water with sand
>but don't ever let the player interact with the sand in the level, just have it in the background and have the fishbots that leap at you from the void beneath come with a sand particle

I managed to get a couple game overs on the first run, but when you get used to the game, it's fine. I think the difficulty is just right.

>Stardust Speedway Act 1 brings back a lot of Marble Garden's gimmicks, including the spike balls
>but rather than being in your way and hitting you the second they appear on screen, they actually have the first one appear slightly above you so you can anticipate the second one that's in your way

They probably didn't want you to fight each one individually in under 10 minutes

What the hell? I wouldn't say it's flat at all.
Oh nevermind, you didn't actually play the game yet.

Knuckles because I really like how they reworked his sprites, and gliding is more fun than flying.

>fire shields in oil ocean
>lightning shields in flying battery
>ice in press garden
fuck, this game is ridiculous. how will they top it?

is Marble Garden the worst original Sonic zone?
Act 2 goes on for about 80 years

It probably is. Generations GHZ Act 1 also was pretty linear.

The problem is that all the focus on mania meant that they have shown very little of Forces. We barely have seen before the first stages. Possibly not even that.

Did we watch the same video? Where are all the slopes?

is this the only canon time where knuckles does his job right?

Bartleby

nevermind, thought you were talking about mania, I suck dicks.

they return in another game

this took me way too long to figure out

Does the fire shield do anything to the ice in press garden?

>When a fanmade spinoff completely blows the full priced game out of the fucking water.

how do I play this? it's not unlocked on steam yet

What? Did you see the video? Most of the level's one straight shot from beginning to end. No real curves outside that tube thing.

What do you think it does?

PC version got booted to the 29th, though the console versions are all released by now.

Guys, there's a secret hidden ending for Knuckles. Go to "no save" and turn on debug mode and &knuckles mode, and have Knuckles selected as your character. Then HOLD Y and press + to activate stage select. (That's for the switch version, I don't know which button you have to use for PS4 and Xbox versions)

After that select the true final boss and beat it with knuckles, and you'll be treated to a hidden ending.

>last boss
>tanking through the electricuty is A LOT faster and more efficient than only hitting him duting the downtime

It melts it if you stand next to it. The spikes in press garden are also made of ice, so it melts those as well.

>buy something you can earn for free
what a fag

Sonic Forces is still probably gonna sell more though.

>Sonic Forces classic gameplay is mediocre garbage
>It's modern gameplay is constantly overwritten by talking characters constantly spamming you about events going on unrelated to homing missiles

My god this is gonna hurt.

This sounds so fake, but at the same time, it wouldn't surprise me if Sega gave us a Knuckles & Knuckles meme ending

the unlockable version sucks though

You don't even have to tank the electricity after a few hits because his tentacles fall off and they were nice enough to have the bottom ones come off first. Only the tentacles are electrified, not his main body.

serious quesiton. what dlc would you like to see for the game, even though it was stated that there is none confirmed?

the few I can think of are the ability to have Sonic or Knuckles as the second playable character because itd be cool to see Sonic and Knuckles playing through the stages. and... hmm, i don;t think there really is anything other than newer levels, which really wouldn t be necessary, but would be cool.

now for patches, i just want to see the transitions from level to level between each level and not just whenever they feel like it. seriously, how did they get from Little Planet's Stardust Speedway to Angel Island's Hydrocity to Little Planet's Metallic Madness? They can just show time space stuff happening again.

by the way, was mirage saloon always next to oil ocean, or is that the doing of the weird stone? It seems Mirage Saloon and Studiopolis exist on Westside Island.

>if you have a lighting shiled, you can ride the electricity arcs in Titanic Monarch

...

I INVENTED THAT NAME
GIVE ME CREDIT

t-thanks

It's true, fucking do it. I heard about it and thought that it was fake too, but it actually gave me a hidden ending.

& Knuckles mode exists, redditor.

I got the impression that from the top of robotniks tower of stardust speedway, sonic took a long jump down to hydrocity.

It's implied that the levels get mashed together every time robotnik uses the stone.

There's already an unlockable mode that lets you have Knuckles tag along with you if you're playing as Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles, though it's locked to the no-save mode.

>Bardonic is a thing again.

Oh boy it's been a while.

I need the whole OST right now

...

So how long until the Mania threads die down?

DRONT

ggrooOO

TROOO FARRRR MRANIRAAA TREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*STEALS DROPDASH AND PUTS IT IN FORCES*

The main mode is called Mania mode, I want Chaotix mode.

THE ONLY THING I WANT IS THE ABILITY TO TRIGGER SUPER MODE WHENEVER YOU WANT, NOT WHENVER YOU JUMP
IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS AND S3&KC DID IT PERFECTLY BEFORE, AS WELL AS ALLOWING YOU TO MANUALLY CANCEL IT
FUCKKKK

Might as well have flight cancel as tails, and the option not to have super music playing during the transformation. I keep comparink it to S3&KC, but it just did everything so well.

did they ever finish Megamix 1?

>mrania tream troo

what the fuck?

Cry about it kid, the big boys are talking now

youtu.be/P8KOxDnkWTQ?t=1685

To be fair, It's the same Sonic in Forces. Why would he not have the drop dash anymore?

>yfw the snow in Press Garden 2 is not actually snow, but minced paper

That music gave me ear cancer

>yfw

I was just asking a question mate, no need to get pissy about it.

Then what's the ice?

Hey guys, do you think we could meme Sonic Mania winning a best indie game award at this year's VGAs?

Assuming Mania will only have levels from the Game Gear Games & Genesis including Chaotix besides new levels, what do you want to see in Mania 2?

> Emerald Hill
> Sunset Park
> Marina Madness (Chaotix assist you during the level)
> Robotnik Winter (Act 1 is a snowboard level)

And then 6 new stages would suffice. I don't know what they would be based on though, maybe some zones from Advance as inspiration.

I beat the game as sanic withouht knowting drop dash exists.

I want Sonic Advance 4 instead

Pykrete, obviously.

>The entire fucking ACT 2
Stardust Speedway is just plain Kino

PUYO PUYO BOSS FIGHT SHOULD'VE BEEN HARDER DAMNIT
