That's another great aspect of the sonic hacking scene; full commented disassemblies are the starting point.
Every other game, super Mario world included just has a bunch of incompatible closed source tools and random bits of info collected here and there.

Take Adventure's principles in level design and refine the controls. No more jittery hairpin turning. Give Sonic acceleration and response to slopes.

Ideally I would have them model Sonic's momentum and speed gain on arcade racers. Not the steering or whatever mind you. Just how the cars handle more or less. I do like how acceleration alters steering timing and trajectory in the boost games but I'm not a fan of SPRINGS LOL BOOST LOL GOFAAAAASSST.

On that note, if they ever got the controls and movement down enough, I'd say get rid of the rigid trajectories on springs in 3D games as well. Take some pages back from pinball and sandbox racing games (or the jump challenges in GTA) and have player control have a say in where Sonic goes from a spring.

>>386394712
I really like that new model for Chaos.
Too bad the game will probably be shit.

Haven't busted this bad boy out in a while.

A+
>Emerald Hill
- My favorite intro level in the entire series. It gets a lot of flak for being a Green Hill clone but I find it couldn't play farther from. Green Hill focuses on allowing the player to build speed once they've learned to time their jumps and rolls through the stepped hills and slopes. Its the best designed zone from the first game with exploration kept local to the main paths. Emerald Hill instead grants speed off the bat and opts to penalize the yet unfamiliar for running blind with zone hazards and badniks, keeping a more open air design with fewer nooks.
>Chemical Plant
Remember when I said Green Hill had decently lineated main paths with exploration kept sort of in the immediate vicinity off in nooks and such? Chemical plant is that design philosophy perfected. God damned near perfect zone.
>Hydro City
Amazing sound track, great sections of speed, fantastic exploration. The best showcase of high path/low path penalty/reward dichotomy in the series. Amazing zone.
>Flying Battery
I love Wing Fortress but find it lacking in areas. It feels under cooked a bit. I love Metropolis but it can be a bit rough on the edges. Flying battery is the best design elements of both with a heap of polish added, a phenomenal theme song, and great bosses.

There is nothing jarring about Sonic 2 in 3C. It's just contrary to what you're used to. Likewise, 3's Sonic sprite would be fine (as fine as that shit sprite can be anyway) in Mania.

I'm tempted to download a torrent if it comes out early, but I feel like it'd be a bad idea, especially because I'm waiting on the collector's edition.

Whilst I see where you come from, I do think Wing Fortress is thematically the stronger stage. There's something inherently cool about infiltrating a massive, imposing airship, rolling over the slick design against the wind current.

Whereas I feel Flying Battery feels a bit like you skipped over most of the cool bits. Yeah, you're still infiltrating, but it doesn't have that same sense of scale due most of it already being inside.

If anything, the two zones would compliment each other greatly. Wing Fortress as Act 1, Flying Battery as Act 2.

>>386399991
Mario's jumps are more reliable, his speed is more controllable, and the SNES doesn't have BLAST PROCESSING so its scrolling is inhibited slightly.

>>386399991

What's funny is that Sonic has a larger field of view due to the Genesis superior resolution

SEGA beat Nintendo to the punch in Europe. SEGA managed to make a deal with Virgin to get both the Mega Drive and Master System out in Europe before Nintendo could dominate that region too. Nintendo didn't manage to get the NES into Europe until 1988, and SNES was a year behind America with a 1992 release. By that time Sonic 1 had already taken Europe and especially the UK by storm, and even beat Super Mario Bros 3 to the punch. (Released months after Sonic 1 in Europe)

Sonic's jumps are influenced by the terrain and he skids slightly/slows gradually whereas SMW Mario turns on a dime. This isn't really a subject of debate, and I like both games.

>>386400757
I can see what he means. Mario stops on a dime and Sonic doesn't. The hitch is that Sonic isn't designed to stop on a dime, he's designed to roll on a dime which is a much more powerful tool overall and acts as a hazard dodge the same way instantly stopping does.

IGN Reviewer here. My name is Mark Mothersbaugh, and I'd like to show you hidden Sonic Mania content here and now. Stay silent, 4channers!

>>386400914
There are more variables, that doesn't make them less reliable or less controllable. It's just more complex. If you take the time to learn the games the jumping and movement are every bit as predictable as Mario's.

>>386400971
So he meant Mario's jumping and speed are more newbie friendly? Because that's not what he typed.

>>386394826

>>386400702
Not only that but rather than in America where the Genesis was aimed at teens, MegaDrive and Sonic was aimed at adults. Most of the adults who bought the Mega Drive would also be parents, so they would also be getting it for their kids. More kids that way would play Sonic, and the playground kids would all agree Sonic is better than Mario.

how deep does this hedgehog hole go?

Is it even possible to die in CD? I'm generally pretty awful at this series but CD has been giving me literally zero problems. Also, while I get and think it's neat how the game is more geared towards exploration, my main problem with it so far is that the exploration is basically just "go to the past, find the generator" and then hold right through the rest of the level since the level design otherwise is pretty meh.

Reminder that this countdown is tied to the PSN release. According to past posts, Playstation titles that can be pre-loaded are released at midnight, so that's when we are getting Mania there.

However, the Steam release will be at the 15th - EST afternoon, not at midnight. You can verify this by checking the Asian markets release which is listed at the 16th (pic related).

Therefore, Playstation users will be able to play the game for about 12 hours before PC users.

SONY WINS AGAIN!!!!!!

Let's get the bad news out of the way first: the quasi-3D Special Stages from Sonic 3 & Knuckles are back, and they're not better than ever. Sonic Mania classifies these as Bonus Stages, or 'Blue Spheres' - a reference to the core mechanic that has Sonic snagging all the floating blue orbs that dot the horizon of these spherical, wrap-around pocket dimensions. The problem with these Bonus Stages is immediately apparent: the finicky controls, which are a little too faithful to the originals. Nudging Sonic (or Tails, or Knuckles) left and right causes the entire perspective to make a hard 90 degree turn, and the constantly shifting viewpoint is downright nauseating. Problem is, you're going to need to turn on a dime extremely often if you want to clear these stages successfully, because every blue sphere turns red once you've touched it - and as you probably guessed, making contact with a red orb results in instant failure.

In SMB2 USA you pick up a vegetable and it turns into a rocket. That alone makes it the best game ever.

>>386404368
If you don't like it then you aren't into art whatsoever.

To make matters even more frustrating, orbs are positioned in ways that often turn the slightest screw-up or miscalculation into guaranteed death. Once you've formed a closed loop of orbs, all the orbs contained in your path turn to rings, which you'll need to pick up if you want a perfect score and the Gold Medallion it bestows (no word on what those actually do just yet). To convolute things even further, you can also jump - which you'll need to do (while silently praying for survival) whenever you've trapped yourself in a minefield of red orbs. Worst of all, you have no way of quickly retrying a Bonus Stage should you fail, as their portals only spawn above checkpoints when you first make contact.
Long story short, the Bonus Stages suffer from the worst flaws of many platformer's bonus bits: instead of testing your mastery over the core game mechanics, they saddle you with an unfamiliar, uncomfortable control scheme in the name of gimmicky presentation. Fortunately, you likely won't need any Gold Medallions (or the Silver Medallions you get for simply completing a Bonus Stage) to score Sonic Mania's assortment of Chaos Emeralds, which will no doubt be a prerequisite for the best ending. Those are found in the Special Stages, which are infinitely more enjoyable than their Bonus cousins.

Confession time:

I feel Sonic Generations had a better designed Sky Chase Zone than S3&K.

Confess your classic sins.
I've beat Sonic 1 and 3&K, but not 2 because I got bored of waiting for the Death Egg Robot to become touchable and risking having to do the entire thing all over again.

>>386405437
Play both. They're both great games in their own right.
The best way to play Sonic 2 is the mobile remake. If you can't do that, play Sonic Classic Heroes.
Sonic 3& Knuckles was never remade, so get Sonic 3 Complete.

>>386405990
Well it helps that Sky Sanctuary is probably the best Classic level in that game. So many alternate pathways.

sky sanctuary was kind of a throwaway easy act in the original game, like a victory lap i guess

also your statement will probably be true for most remixed zones in mania

What is bad about the normal Genesis game? That's what I have. And what is really improved with 3 Complete? Now I wondering too much on just wanting to just play a simple 16 bit game.

I never beat Sonic 1 or 2, and never played CD, despite owning CD on the Action Pack for PC. I even played R to completion on that pack

>>386406229
it's feasible now with the taxman mobile remake. you keep emeralds earned after beating the game and you can restart special stages if you feel like you're not going to get all the Rings

>>386406298
These are Sonic 3 Complete features? I'm sold, I'm a 2/CD fag who has yet to beat 3&K all the way through but haven't finished the recent run I started yet. I might finish the game vanilla before Complete as was recommended but I'm tempted to jump ship now.

>>386406545
Yeah the S3 Complete customizer can change the hack to meet any specific autistic need you have.

Same. Special stages are gimmicky trash and add nothing of value to the base game. S3&K's are my favorite but even then I don't like the blue ball gimmick

Sonic R is better than CD.

Metropolis is my favorite Sonic 2 zone. I've never had any trouble with the stage, even when I was younger. Even now I can just boot up the stage and run through without any problems.

I'll agree some of the enemy placement isn't that solid but it's not as cancer as some people say it is. Fuck the boss, though.

I felt Sonic 1 weird maze thing was the best of the bunch.

>>386406545
These are customization options you can apply on top of the S3 Complete hack that they couldn't fit on the ROM itself. You can get the base version of the ROM at the mainpage on http://www.s3complete.org/ which still has a ton of customization options.

>>386406729
What is the strategy for the boss even meant to be? To this day, I just abuse the ring system.

Well, shit, you made me remember another sin.

I fapped to her feet

>>386403981
This is why I've been waiting since for fucking ever for the miniboss theme in Mania to be dropped.

>>386405126
This sounds like Rayman 1 music.

>>386406820
I dunno, I mostly just jump at the fucker until he's dead, or Super Sonic if that's an option.

I never got the Super Emeralds in 3&K because I think Hyper Sonic is pointless.

I never played through any of the games as Knuckles.

>There are people who recommend newcomers to do S3Complete before they do Vanilla

You people should be gassed

Well he is. Super Sonic is the canon ending. Hyper's fun to fuck around as though

Knuckles was the only way I can beat Sonic 3&K as a kid without debug. So in a way I'm kind of really excited to play as him in Mania because he was one of my favorites as a kid
