Don't know how I feel about that since I never really enjoyed that part.

Now that I can get behind.

>>386123910
You got it the wrong way around bud

You get the Chaos Emerdoos from the CD + F -Zero stages

You have that reverse, Blue Spheres are the Bonus Stages for Medallions with the CD+F-Zero being Special Stages for Emeralds.

>>386124172
Sorry. That makes a bit better. I get this was meant to be kind of the greatest hit of the 2-D Sonic games but I wish they didn't pick those dumb blue pen mini game. Would actually would haves wish they went with Sonic 1 maze thing but made it work.

>>386124409
Well they already redid Sonic 1s stages for Sonic 4

Blue Sphere has been MIA since the 90s

How was every 2D Sonic short? Sonic 2 have 11 stages and S3&K have 14 stages.

Is it possible for Mania to have around 14 zones? I know of the whole 60:40 ratio for old and new, but where does that land our potential number of zones?

Some people here like Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic R, 3D isn't hated because it's 3D. The 3D games are hated because they're almost all terrible. The low-poly special stages look like a Saturn mock-up, they look fun and they are CUTE.

>>386128615
>The low-poly special stages look like a Saturn mock-up, they look fun and they are CUTE.

So, you'd forgive Adventure's flaws if it looked cute?

>>386128667
No but for a special stage the one we're seeing looks better than literally any other special stage from the past. I don't see any innate flaws, no one's clipping through the ground and falling into the void like in SA.

>>386128593
Yeah, I feel like it's going to be better than any other special stage prior. I felt like CD had the best "emerald" stages but they were a bit janky, this looks like the took that concept and expanded on it and polished it up a hundred times. I just hope there's an infinite mode to it.

3d sonic isn't shat on just because it's 3d, it's shat on for a myriad of reasons such as gameplay flaws or too much focus on story

sonic mania wouldn't be nearly as well received so far if the meat of the game played like special stages instead of classic 2d sonic.
people love the special stages because they fit the intended saturn aesthetic perfectly and enhance the experience instead of detracting from it, forgive the food analogy but it's the icing on the cake and i don't think anyone would enjoy eating the icing alone

The best thing that game did was retcon itself out of existence in the end. But I'll concede what >>386130643 said that it is at least fun to watch it crumble to pieces while other people play it, Boom on the other hand is just boring.

It was a great LP and friend simulator. Their Unleashed LP was pretty great too with Medibot giving every item they picked up a unique name. Sadly a lot of the fan stuff for that LP got lost to the sands of time. Like that one video that had this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RwaptQ_rpU from Old Boy with the Werehog battle music blaring when the fight kicked in which was GOAT but because it was on Viddler it's probably gone forever.

What happens is that SEGA upload the files to each platform's digital store a few days before release to make sure nothing goes wrong, then set it so the digital stores make it available as soon as the the date set on the release for the game is met.

In other words, I don't think anything will go wrong. Game will be available ASAP. (Although probably not world wide)

Level design is too complex for a simple maker program to take account for all the terrain types. Even if it is done, most retards wouldn't know how to properly use it. All the auto play levels that flood Mario Maker? That shit would be worse in Sonic.

I stand by multiple playables being an outdated idea

Why not fully craft the levels around ONE character instead of "hurr u cant reach this place as Sonic so play as Knuckles to get there!"

>>386136191
But every character does play the same. It's just that Knuckles can glide and climb walls and Tails can fly. They all have the same kind of spindash/rolling gameplay.

>>386134650

>new characters with new gimmicks

A playable version of Metal Sonic would be awesome. Granted Mecha Sonic is way better, we're never gonna see that guy again.

Also a lot of the stages in Sonic 1 are pretty bleh. Green Hill Zone is actually fantastic and is much better designed than Emerald Hill Zone, but everything else after that is just varying degrees of meh. Marble and Labyrinth are so goddamn slow, Spring Yard and Star Light are alright but Star Light has some cunty level design (those fucking fans that trap you into that small section full of bomb enemies, fuck that nonsense) and Scrap Brain zone is good, but also real slow. I get that the levels weren't designed with speed all that much in mind, but I really only thought Green Hill Zone was good, it just instantly goes down hill from there.

It could just be that one of the enemies in the Japanese garden zone emits ice.

I think it's because most people consider it cathartic with the sense of speed it gives after 10+ minutes of slow underwater gameplay. In that regard it's quite effective, and it's placement in the Zone order is most likely deliberate in that way. But I do agree that it's way too short.

I have no real beef with CD, but that's because I've barely played it and have never attempted getting the good endings. Still, some of those stages can be meh, the physics are off, and the spin dash is like intentionally gimped to make the running dash better, which is fucking dumb.

>>386138385
The physics in CD are literally perfect and one of the major reasons the game is my favorite, all of the physics setpices and stuff. As for your problem with the spindash, you know that's a Taxman addition right? He just threw it into the remake, if it feels gimped it's because original CD had no spindash.

>>386138385

>>386138721
That's a bit much

>>386138834
Are you sure? I'm not even gonna lie and pretend I ever bothered to play emulate the original and no one owned a Sega CD, but I could have sworn that original CD had peelout and that's it.

we're at a point when we need to admit this was never a good franchise and that we keep trying and trying to find this thing that was never actually there. Sonic was never good, it's been a 25 year lie.

>>386138967
It had a spindash, but just an incredibly janky version of it.

>>386138245
if we get a magic level I will cum tears

>>386138967
CD had a weird spindash that was weaker than 2 and you had to charge it up. The only reason the spindash was in CD at all was because the 2 team and CD communicated early on about their plans

>>386131634
i got recommended that video too

>>386138967
https://youtu.be/apPGHEZxu6s?t=274

I just emulated the Sega CD version myself and it had a spin dash in it, you can see here that holding down and letting go quickly cancels the spin dash. The running dash can be done quickly but the spin dash cannot. This mixed with some minor momentum things makes CD feel a bit worse than 2 and 3K

>>386139134
Green Hill Zone from Sonic 2

>>386139214
After seeing gameplay I think that settles it. Vanilla CD is unplayable but the Taxman remake is my favorite Sonic. Just goes to show how much seemingly minor tweaks can improve a game tenfold.

Saying you aren't aware because you played the Taxman remake isn't even an excuse. There's a damn toggle option if you want the S2 styled dash or not, so you know there's a damn spin dash, just different flavors

>>386136618
I wouldn't mind him, BUT Shadow isn't a "Classic" character. Not to mention, by this time, he would still be sealed in his capsule, so there's not much reason for it other than just because.

I'd like to see Shadow come back in modern games though


Also, is the collectors addition still available? I'm thinking of getting it, even though I'm gonna play on Steam
>>386131859
Oh, the suffering during End of the World is fucking delicious.
>>386131462
Even if you took the bugs out of the game, you'd still have to make the stages not shit. There are several stages and parts you play with certain characters that no reason to fucking existed.

I mean, look at Sonic's story alone. It's about him saving the Princess, and has nothing to do with the overall plot of the fucking game.
Silver shows up and gets to style on him twice, and he never gets to one-up Silver

Not to mention, remember when Sonic went to Radical Train, Tails and Knuckles were with him. What happened to them after that?

In S3K you could get shields and shit if you did the bonus stages, do we get shit now with the blue stages? Moreover I'm disappointed that the number of bonus stages have been reduced to 1 (from 3) and they aren't dependent on ring count anymore.

there's an auto scroll section leading up to the actual boss where if you fall you instadeath. it's so clumsy you have to be extremely careful not to mention that if you press right for even a nanosecond when the boss starts you instadeath also.

>>386140837
>and they aren't dependent on ring count anymore.

Didn't the super rings in S3&K require you to have a certain number of rings before it would let you into the special stage?

>>386141063
No, you just had to find them. You needed at least 20 rings to activate the bonus stage portals.

What kind of dumbass plays the original Sonic CD and then bitches about shit the Taxman version fixed? Just what the fuck.

>>386140454
God this boss (besides doomsday) has to be my favorite boss if all time. The fucking presentation of platforming above a lavafall while eggmans shooting missles at you while the death egg is close up in the background is so fucking cool. I would LOVE to see this boss return in mania.

>>386141063

Checkpoint bonus stages changed in S3K depending on how many rings you had. IIRC the lowest one required 20 and by 50 you got the electric spheres one.

>>386141230
The presentation is fantastic, but the boss just takes too long for my liking. Wish he just took 8 hits like every other boss.

Imagine how great Chaotix featuring knuckles the enchidna. welcome to the next level in 32x world would have been if they had more time to develop it and not rush it out with the 32x

>>386140794
>Cooool

>>386141343
They could have just released it on the Genesis. Really all that would be different is the graphics not being as pretty, especially when you pick up the shrink or grow power ups. In fact the game would probably have ended up better for it since they'd have to cut the number of acts per zone down from FUCKING FIVE.

>>386140402
>Not to mention, by this time, he would still be sealed in his capsule
In Forces, Classic is now from a different dimension than Modern. Shadow does not exist in the Classic universe.

I would like to remind everybody that CD never deserved to be remade and that 3&K is the far and away superior game, the choice of fans that actually have a brain between their ears. Most Sonic fans would agree with me that 3&K is more deserving of a remake and more deserving of praise than CD.

>>386141343
I don't think more dev time would've helped something that was already flawed from a gameplay standpoint from the start. At least the music will always be the best part of the game.

What if bonus stages unlocks mission mode with the Chaotix, going Heroes style, just speculating but i think id be cool
(also unlock the chaotix for normal levels) or just amy

>>386141626

Yes, and it's an injustice considering CD doesn't face the same legal issues. It should, for all of the blatant plagiarism in its soundtrack. We have Sonic 3 Complete and that's nice, but I still wish 3&K got a Taxman remake and CD was left buried.

Sonic has the highest jump so he can reach places that don't have climbable surfaces. Stop being a baby, modern games already have Sonic only
it works for 2D

>>386142063
Not really. Sonic doesn't gain any new abilities over the course of the game and the levels are separate instead of a giant map.

What I'm saying is that liking CD over 3&K is evidence of a childish mind, one that can't think critically.

At least you have sense, though there's nothing wrong with Sonic 2. It served its purpose in laying the groundwork for 3&K, where CD is just a deviation and an aberration. If there are people who like 2 better than 3&K I would only ask them why they prefer the beta to the finished product.

If you play original CD your opinion on it will be much worse than if you played the Taxman version on Steam. Widescreen, better spindash, some collision tweaks, better load times, and immensely more playable special stages make all the difference.

AND GARFIELD

Taxman knows most people really enjoy Hydrocity. There's no reason they'd put Marble Garden in over it.

Getting rid of the inertia from changing direction that was in SMB and SMB3 did a lot to make Mario as responsive as he was.

>>386144078
Music has always been a weaker point for Mario. Later 3D games have some stellar tracks but the 2D games flounder in that department.

As someone who's a fan of platformers in general, the GOAT series is Mega Man.

>>386144213
Mario's big band jazz infused music has been wonderful the past couple games. Pretty much my favorite parts of them.

>>386144168
garfield better be an unlockable character in mania

>>386139783
This being made public?

>>386143575
Something had to be going on internally in Sonic Team during that time. It seems like Iizuka was gaining more and more power and Yuji Naka was caring less and less about the series.

>playing the non-emerald special stages

>>386144416
They have way better music than the Emerald stages though.

>>386144213
That's more of an action adventure game. You jump n shoot more than you jump and run.

The real winner is wonder boy/adventure island

I like SMW about as much as I like S3&K, and I like them both decently more than SMB3. I really dislike how Mario controls in SMB3, he's just too goddamn slidey. I also hate the auto scrolling stages and all of the bosses in the game are boring, granted Mario pretty much always has boring bosses.

SMW, SMB, and S3&K are all godtier platformers though, they just all have a different style to them.

Marbel Garden catches too much hate, as does Sandpolis. Marbel Garden is alright and I genuinley love both parts of Sandpolis. Once your deep into the second zone of Sandpolis and you have the ghosts coming in while sand is rising and you're sturggling to push a switch in time the game gets so hectic that it's awesome. It also does an amazing job explaining how each mechanic works and slowly building them up and throwing them at you, it's some real fun ass shit.

Where is all the advertising for this game? It comes out in 10 days. Does SEGA not want this to sell or something?

>>386144596
i think sega japan is in for a shock when the sales figures start coming in

>>386144596
They usually start airing commercials the day before or of release but the game's selling itself

>>386144596
Iizuka would shoot himself if a gajin game sold more than Forces so no, they don't want it to sell.

>>386128505
I like sonic utopia

>>386144582
I never said Marble Garden is bad, but Hydrocity is by far more popular of a zone then it. And yeah I love Sandopolis as well.

>>386144596
Swear I've seen this post with the exact same picture. Everyone that wants Mania already knows about it and probably pre-ordered it. Remember it's basically a small indie game selling for 20 bucks compared to other AAA game releases.

>>386144596
there have been posters and stuff in japan but I guess it's just not in the budget...

>>386144837
>I never said Marble Garden is bad

I was just going off on a tangent because that other anon was saying every game has some bad zones in it, and those two zones catch a lot of hate.

Really, S3&K has good at worst stages in it. The only bad thing about the game is the barrel in Carnival Night zone, beyond that the games' are solid.

Hello fellow man of taste
glad I'm not the only one who thinks SMW feels leagues better than 3

>>386145134
Solid enough that I've played through it so many times I can't even remember how many times I have.

Could anyone please link the last few Mania threads? My internet was down since Wednesday and I'd like to read them.

>>386144582
I've always felt like SMW felt floaty and weird, and have never fully adjusted to it despite 100%ing the game several times. SMB3 still feels perfect to me.

You wouldn't really be missing much. All you missed was most likely people flipping their tits over the Special Stage reveal.

>>386145557
That's the thread I'm most interested in honestly. I know I flipped out when I watched that trailer at a friend's house yesterday.

I love these threads. I'm gonna miss them when they're gone.

I havent played Sonic Adventures in at least 10 years but I remember loving this one racing game inside of it
It was like F-Zero, but not quite
Does it have a name/wiki entry?

I bet you don't even come to these threads

>>386145830
Twinkle Circuit from SA1? That level where you're racing after the president in SA2?

>>386144750
Mania was his idea. Where do you get this idea that he hates it?

>>386145787
DESU although I'm excited about Mania I don't really care about Sonic, I just come here because it's one of the few threads that aren't just faggots baiting each other endlessly and being "Le master trolls".

And the autism is funny.

It's like when an Ace Attorney game is incoming. /v/ chills out and acts cordial.
