Honestly if Sega took every single Zone from Sonic 1 - Sonic 3 and remade it for 2D & 3D gameplay like seen in Sonic Generations, I'd be all over that.


Anyways in terms of Sonic Mania, i played the demo and liked it. Very excited for its release.

I was diagnosed with autism as a kid (ass burgers) and I loved sonic games. not to the point of all that weird shit, but I would play it every single day after school without fail. Got to the point where I could finish S3+K in under 3 hours legit.

My question is, with all the next level wierdness out there related to sonic, why is it that sonic attracts autism so much? From kids like I was, who had an autistic level of love for the games, right up to pic related.

>but its kids being kids
pic related did not come from the mind of a child.

Daily reminder that if Mania sells well, Sega will see the demand for the game and let Whitehead and team go crazy in the sequel, no remastered zone, all brand new zones, and if they are, you know they're going to be from Modern Sonic games [City Escape] and we'll get the most batshit off the wall 2d Sonic game the world has ever seen, with insane backgrounds like Lava Reef boss with the giant fucking robotnik head in the background, but x10 and on steroids.

There's a point to be made for that, but I think pic related is driven far more by autism than homosexuality or anthropomorphism.

Plus like I said, even outside of all the weirdness it attracts autistic children like no other game. Colorful, fast moving hedgehog? maybe it's that simple, but I think something more is at work here.

>>381888713
The contrast of the whole image is blown out, you can't judge it based on that.

And the sphere count and tile colors absolutely line up with a Sonic & Knuckles special stage (this one, to be exact, noteworthy for being the least number of spheres you have to collect in a stage) so that would mean they're wholesale reusing an entire map, which is shit.

On that note, though, I hate Sonic's blue shade in Sonic Mania (Knuckles looks weird too). I'm hoping for a palette or a sprite mod on the PC version.

>>381888735
I thought the original Sonic CD special stages played fine.

The giant Robotnik head is the Death Egg 2. It was launched from the Rocket Base Zone at the end of Sonic 3, but crashed back down after the fight against Big Arm. In Sonic and Knuckles, Robotnik is trying to launch it again, and he succeeds after he steals the Master Emerald from Knuckles in the Hidden Palace Zone. You can see the empty hole it leaves behind as you warp up to Sky Sanctuary Zone.

>deepest lore

Still, I agree with you and really want them to have stages with epic scenery like that.

Mania Sonic sprite colour is based off the animation of CD, where he is light blue. but this >>381889454

Anon here with the head pain, this anon gets it.

Live in a constant fear of health and anxiety for the past couple of years, doctors says its nothing, but I can feel the pain -as- I type this, no idea what the fuck is going on.

I just wanna see more Sega references in Mania like in Studiopolis.

Like give me my After Burner, Puyo Puyo, Virtua Fighter and Vectorman reference

>>381894061
The fact there is about 5billion references alone in Studio means 100%there will be in other levels

>>381894061
Apparently there's some kind of Puyo Puyo (or rather Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine) boss fight or something.

I think it's the boss of Chemical Plant. There's supposed to be a "surprise" at the end of the zone and apparently (I don't know if this is true because I never played Mean Bean Machine) when you land on those sticky purple pads, the sound it makes comes from Puyo Puyo.

>>381876202
Tyson is a good animator, but he fucking sucks at making a scene look interesting. The camera is always completely static.

>>381895118
What do you think about the preorder trailer animations?

>>381895118
That animation isn't by him I believe, it's the guy who did the Rivals Of Aether animations.

>>381895406
Like I said, the animations are good. But the camera is never placed in interesting positions and it it's always completely static, as in it either follows Sonic at a fixed distance and angle, or it's just fixed on the ground.

You can look at >>381889454 and see the camera panning up and down, zooming in and out, trying to keep up with Sonic instead of just showing a static scene, and changing angles all the time.

Then again, what we saw of the trailer might be too little to judge, but so far, it doesn't look like it'll even be half as interesting as Sonic CD's animation.

>>381875361
>what zones do you want?

Sky Sanctuary.

BUT - I will shit up this thread as I have shit up the others. There is a as-yet-unshown "surprise" in the game, and I think that the surprise that all S 1-3&K knuckles have been revisited. That's what the elevator is for in the preorder trailer.

>>381896682
anon, that is over 40 levels

it just won't be that, they have mixed lots of levels in the levels shown, for example, green hill act1/2 has alot of palmtree panic in it, and chemical plant has stuff from wacky bench

They said this will be the longest 2D Sonic game to date but do they mean that in the context of comparing it to Sonic 3 & Knuckles or just each individual game in the franchise?
