But that's wrong, all the inner rings for the pinkish red ones look the same & the bottom ones are cut off where the purple bit is shown, if these represent different characters then why wouldn't it represent Knuckles but only Amy? And again, these shades on the balls & this is including in the inner rings match Knuckles newer more vibrant color palette.

There's already a thread specifically for Sonic Mania discussion. These just feel like a general.

Any guesses? We already know Super Emeralds are out. Couldn't be Time Stones, because you'd think those would be paired with the Sonic CD inspired Special Stage rather than the Sonic 3 Special Stage remake.

That's also wrong though, if you look at the other balls the upper half of them have a brighter shade of their respective color, but most of them cut off so you don't see them fully to know this. Plus like I said in my original post last thread the further they are far back the darker they are and vice versa.

>>386074764
I also want to believe in it also honestly, Anon.

Holy fuck, it has Sanic 3's bonus blue sphere stages. I totally thought they'd dismiss that because it was difficult.

>>386073812
the inner ring of the supposed amy one is different compared to the knux one.

>>386074917
Blue Sphere is literally the easiest Special Stage

>>386074784

The plot of Sonic Mania involves Sonic and Eggman tracking a "mysterious energy signal different from the Chaos Emeralds". Maybe that's what's inside the Blue Spheres game.

that's not how you spell half pipe on the genesis

>>386075020
Out of the original Genesis games? Yes, definitely. Sonic 1's are too much of a crapshoot half the time. Sonic 2's are just bullshit memorization. And the original CD had it almost impossible to hit UFOs in later stages. Blue Sphere didn't have any bullshit, it was just pure skill.

Do you know how many times I had to fucking press the LOAD STATE BUTTON. THERE WON'T BE ONE THIS TIME ANON. Hopefully it won't unlock something too amazing.

>>386075020
It locks you to grid-based movement compared to the more free flow of the Half-Pipe or UFOs. The stages don't get close to difficult until you start speeding up, and even that provides benefits since it allows you to jump over multiple spheres if you have precise timing

Contrast to Half-Pipe which is literally muscle memory or the UFO which in later stages you'll be spending most of your time hopping across the water than actually grabbing those fast fuckers

>>386075125

half pipe is a snooze fest. blue sphere's later bonus stages were almost impossible.

>>386073372
Sorry that Sonic Mania has more anticipation than your literal who game.

>>386074965
I agree with you.

>>386075020
He's not wrong dude, Blue Spheres are the easiest to people usually. When you see the others mentioned people say Sonic 1's are luck based bullshit due to it turning, them not getting a grip with Sonic's control & the springs, Sonic 2 screws you over if you have Tails around & some find things to pop out of nowhere and for the original CD a lot can't tell when the UFOs will be hit from a jump and generally are shit by landing in water wasting time. Compared to those Blue Spheres have you on a grid & you can only turn when you're in between a square tile but you can input your compared prior to doing that to turn, you can see everything around you just fine and clear out squares of spheres by going on the outer edge of them.

Sonic Advance 2's Special Stage, which apes on the CD one. You run around a 3D environment collecting rings and avoiding Zero from Sonic Adventure 1. It's piss easy, to make up for the fact getting the Special Stages in the first place for Sonic Advance 2 is horseshit and ruins the game

>>386074924
No it isn't, at most it's a slightly different shade due to how far they are from the map. If you're talking about the purple outer rings that's on all of them & the bottom ones cut off.

The Knuckles balls and the (((Rosy))) balls are exactly the same color, the only reason they look different is because the tops are light and the (((Rosy))) ball has the bottom cut off.
Yes, the inner rings are different colors, but the blue balls also have inconsistent inner colors. Does that mean there's another blue character too?

Knuckles has been getting some odd special treatment in Mania. He's the only one of the trio with a unique sprite and the devs are stressing the fact that he's playable more than Sonic or Tails

>>386077237

Maybe it's because Blue Spheres aren't the special stages, pay attention.

>>386074784
>>386076976
Collecting all the blue spheres gives you a Silver Medallion.

Collecting all the blue spheres and getting a Perfect (all rings) gets you a Gold Medallion.

GameXplain also mentioned a Bronze Medallion but didn't say what it did and also they're the only ones who brought it up so I'd take it with a grain of salt that there's Bronze ones.

>>386077406

>>386077283
>Uncle Chuck
You're the retard, haven't you been paying attention to the leaks? Uncle Chuck gets killed by Nigger Sonic in the opening cutscene, so he's not playable. Nigger Uncle Chuck is if you defeat him in Nigger Ghetto (you only fight him when you're playing as Nigger Sonic) but he's black, and I don't see any black balls, do you?

>>386075570
Legit shills mixed with actual Sonic furry retards.

>>386077237
Samefag here, I misspelled that post.

What I meant is, why would them degrade the most legendary of the Special Stages in to a fucking Bonus Stage? How is this supposed to work anyway?

>>386077406
Probably because Knuckles has been shafted for so long in the main series. He hasn't been playable since Sonic 06 (or technically Black Knight but he didn't control like Knuckles), was only in Generations and Lost World as a cutscene character, and wasn't even included in Sonic 4, the game that supposedly takes place after his debut game.

Anyone else loving the backgrounds in the Special Stages like me? They're looking as dope as Sonic CD's stuff, it's a really nice thing to take from that game. I just realized, we're probably going to have a super secret 8th special stage since Taxman added new ones to Sonic 1 & 2's remakes and Sonic CD & 3&K always had one to begin with.

Nigger Sonic is funny in the way that when someone mentions a leak, you can see the name in splash or concept art and the sole occurrence makes it funny.

Thoughts on Sonic Generations?

I hate the 2d sections, but some of the 3d is alright.

>>386079649
I would say there are 3 obvious cases of bad level design in CD:
>The beginning of Collsion Chaos act 1, basically everyone dies there the first time
>The FUCKING GENERATOR in Wacky Workbench Act 1
>The pit in Metallic Madness, which is easy to fall into, has bumpers everywhere, and is not signposted well due to being the only pit in the game
Otherwise CD is really well made, and you need to know the levels really well to speed through them so it's rewarding af

>>386079874
I enjoy it a lot, probably my favorite 3D sonic purely from a gameplay standpoint

>>386079874
Boost is fun except Planet Wisp. Classic gameplay is normally OK, but turns awful in Planet Wisp.

The best level in the game is Crisis City

>>386079867

really fun while i was playing it, but left zero impression on me. also since i don't have much nostalgia for sonic outside of SA2, i feel like i missed out on a lot of the appeal.

I thought it was fun, the physics for 2D Sonic were shit sure but the level still had interesting mechanics in it with tons of various path ways, it also took advantage of how it's now in 3D with neat camera angles & a lot going on in the background. Modern Sonic was also fun but I don't have much to say about it. The 3 mini-games you have to do after every 3 zones to fight the boss of that era was annoying though & the final boss is complete trash.

>>386079903
>The beginning of Collsion Chaos act 1, basically everyone dies there the first time
I actually love this one though. It's the utter destruction of "hold right to win" in one level gimmick that may not have even been intended.

Sonic Generations is the best modern Sonic game but it's still riddled with problems

They're poorly designed. They are fun playgrounds to fuck with the physics but as actual levels they are miserable.

>>386080558
>The truth is a waste of quads

Planet Wisp was an unnecessary level for a nostalgia-based game and a waste of a final level with bad level design, gimmicks and music

>>386080715
>music
I seriously hope you're talking about Act 2

>>386080669
Depends on what you want out of the game. I'm fine with the verticality, the platforming, and the physics shit, and I hate to break out the "it's a good x but not a good y" meme but I think the reason a lot of people hate CD is because in Sonic they expect to go full master blaster through the levels and CD may well be the hardest game to achieve straight horizontal speed in. It's possible but you'd have to know the levels pretty well beforehand.

>>386079874
sonic 4 wouldn't be nearly as outrageous if they just built it upon generations' classic gameplay and artstyle

>>386080715
it's a necessary level for a greatest hits game chronicling every major sonic game with throwbacks to the game's mechanics, beautiful level, and possibly one of the best tracks in the game

Rooftop Run Modern is better than the original. The added violins turn the song from a 10/10 into a 20/10. It's immaculate.

>>386073076
How is this considered good? The bonus stages can't possibly be considered fun, they only thing they have going for is nostalgia. They are watered down puzzles games. There are a lot of great puzzle games out there, why play this shit?
When they first show the actual gameplay section on the factory, it is 10 seconds of Sonic running to the right followed by some lame "platforming" and then more 10 seconds of walking to the right.
I'm glad my dad bought me a SNES when I was little, at least I have good taste for platformers now.

>>386081987
>I watched footage of a platform game and all the gameplay is just running and jumping

>>386081987
you're basically asking why anyone would bother playing games with fighting in them if fighting games and cuhrayzee shit exist and do action better, or why people play GTA when racing games and shooters exist. or why bother playing anything with a story when you could just read a book?

variety and a change of pace within the same experience is nice

>>386082194
Doing one jump in between long sections of literally just walking to the right isn't really platforming

"As you know, Sonic Mania hasn't officially confirmed a physical release for Nintendo Switch. Nevertheless, lots of fans keep precisely asking for this since the console was announced."

"Well, today we got news that surely will be interesting for these fans. GameStop Italy has listed the game on its store, and it did it as if the game was receiving a release on physical format. Also we can even find the supposed box art the title would have in the site."

It's more detailed overall, and yeah, they rounded the head, but folks apparently thought he looked nothing like the styles of the other two.
Which isn't all that inaccurate, Knuckles always did look a bit like he was drawn for Blue Spheres independently of Sonic and Tails, it's not a massive difference but it does seem off.

Get used to being the very small minority who convince themselves that the US version is better.
The JP/EU soundtrack is much better than the US one by miles, except for the Sonic Boom song opening which is god-tier compared to the shit opening song in the other regions.

If there was a version with the US opening + JP/EU level music, I'd dick it with a fury.

Hey, I heard you guys needed a fourth playable character for that new Sonic game for the Saturn.

There are anons that may die before the 15th

That anon may be me

That anon may be you

>never used remote play

Come to think of it, I guess if someone makes a good Shadow mod I might actually consider buying Mania.

I like where your head is at

Does Knuckles have a taunt button in Mania or was what I saw just an idle animation?

>>386086453
Why would anybody mod a game that's a remake the least hacked Classic game in the first place?

Mania makes more sense at least since it's a new game. It's only less likely to be modded because of the sprite fluidity

>>386086804
idle animation

Pottery.

damn, was hoping I could BM bosses

>>386086681
remote play requires decent connection does it not?

Honestly I'm clueless

>>386086804
Idle

>>386086681
Don't you need a Vita for that? If so a good chunk of the population hasn't either

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBwH68TBFRM (the background is gonna rape your eyes on that this one)

I say CD didn't get mods since while everyone talks about how Taxman remade the games now before Mania it wasn't booming in popularity so there wasn't a big spark of interest in doing it. Now Mania is super popular & has a lot of hype, it'll probably get people into learning the engine & how to mod it.

>>386086804
It's an idle animation.

Yeah, Nintendo never knew how to make good battery life, that's why you hate to buy the batteries from other companies to play correctly on the Nintendo Brick.

I love how they have a bunch of differing expressions

So blue sphere huh? That's neat I guess, but seems kinda long for bonus stages. I don't really wanna collect 100 spheres just for rings, 1-ups, and continues. Seems like a waste of time, really. Hope I'm wrong.

>>386086723
Fuck, there go my ambitions of playing Mania in a remote jungle village...

Btw it would go into sleep mode and you could pick up right where you left off when you got to a charger. :)

>>386087195
They're not regular bonus stages. You get a medal at the end. Not sure what it's for though.

Wanting to sex aliens that are literally just anime girls with different skin colors.
Come on, step it the fuck up.
You wouldn't know a REAL sex alien if it hit you in the face.

>>386087161
good for you then, i'm playing on a snes30 which I already own and also easily connects via bluetooth to switch and pc or my phone but not PS4. I'm not sure why but I get the sense that it involves the jews having taken over Sony

>>386086291
On PSN, yeah.

>>386087483
What time at midnight?

>>386087292
Oh, well I guess that's okay than. Was that confirmed in a twitter post or something?
I hope there's still regular bonus stages like the slots or gumball machine.

What I meant was....Which is the canon time zone?

I hate Blue Spheres just reused the old S3&K levels instead of new levels, I want to play this dammit:

The Sonic stream on the official Youtube mentioned earlier how it's the only one.

>>386087694
Only the first one was reused, the other 2 looked original. Then again I didn't play all the thousands of stages in NO WAY!

Is Mania up for preorder on the Switch eShop yet? I already have it preordered on PS4 but I want it on Switch too.

>>386087413
Nope, I need humanoid tits, butts, armpits and feets.

Glad the blue sphere bros are happy though, at least it's better than the fucking halfpipe.

PDT usually for steam releases.

>>386084520
I'm gonna be pissed if I really have to wait longer to play the game.

GameSpot footage confirmed there'll be ramps. One anon was complainingabout how the levels were too flat. Well here you go.

>>386084021
Replacing the original Knuckles Blue Sphere sprite for that ugly new one

>>386088567

I too enjoy Knuckles having a Herman Munster flat too, friend

>>386089334
I don't own an Xbone and PC is for fags although I'll probably get it on Steam anyway.
