If you see a faggot posting an image of smug Sonic shrugging whilst going on about how he's going to pirate the game, DO NOT GIVE HIM A (YOU). It's what that shit stain wants. Make him feel as irrelevant as possible. He's practically a beggar on the streets. Don't give them attention.

>>386710587
Blaze is a good character she's practically just a female Knuckles and it's the last appearance of Vanilla in the games but Rush really is a piece of shit in retrospect

We've had it bad for too long, Dimps games really just aren't that good at all. It's embarrassing that some literally who fans are gonna put out a 10/10 their first try when the only third base game they put out was Advance 1

>>386710853
But DIMPS pulled out a great game in their first try too.

I like Sonic and Blaze's 3D models. Other than that I don't find the rest of your post disagreeable. The stage assets are certainly bland though.

>>386710932
even if the 3D models are good all the enemies and the stages are fucking sprites, it's a mess.

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.

>>386710764

Plus the whole Time Travel mechanic would be a pain in the ass to ignore. I wouldn't be surprised if Green Hill and Stardust Speedway are the only two Zones picked from 1 and CD. If they pick any others from 1 the most likely will be Scrap Brain since it doesn't really have a third Act

Mania is a really good game and I'd rather it be Sonic 4 but it isn't fucking Sonic 4.

I just want to know the number of stages, the exact proportion of stages, and the names because why not. Those first two are probably stuff they should've revealed a while ago so expectations don't get too high if the game is shorter than most people predict.

It's also an unfinished, uncanon story that only provided a new theme song for Metal Sonic and that's it

That game was forced to be made because Sega shoved their foot in their mouth by claiming to make it episodic. In a way, I almost wished Episode II never happened just because they clearly didn't want it to

It's got a grand story arc about robotnik awakening an ancient evil. You play as multiple characters with each having their own campaign. You fuck around in a boring hub town doing filler shit in between playing actual levels. The gameplay is very similar.

Reminder
Toot-Toot Sonic Warrior Predicted Sonic's Future

>10-10 Here we go again
Sonic the Hedgehog, the 10th main series game has the same title as the original Genesis Game.
>9-9 Don't fall behind
Shadow the Hedgehog, the 9th main series game marks the beginning of Sonic's decline.
>8-8 Say, don't be late.
Sonic Heroes, the 8th entry is delayed.
>7-7 Destination Heaven
Sonic Adventure 2, the 7th entry in the series is met with positive reviews. Sonic seems to be on the track to success.
>6-5 stayin alive.
(Sonic Adventure and Sonic and Knuckles)
Sonic games begin to get a bit stale, and Sonic Adventure is just the thing to shake things up. They're keeping the series alive.
>4-3 now it's you and me
Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 introduce Tails as a playable character.
>2-1 Now we're going to have fun.
Not really predicting the future, since it's referencing itself and Sonic 1. It's basically just boasting that CD and 1 are the best games.
>What do ya mean? - Give & Take
Predicts the split of modern sonic and classic sonic. SEGA will have to compromise to make both sides happy.
>Heads up, Jake - It's Sonic boom!
Sonic Boom, an animated series aimed at children. Jake's head was previously down due to the disappointment in Sonic Unleashed, Lost World, and others. Sonic Boom is the light in the tunnel. The future looks somewhat good for Sonic.
>Take a little chance - Slip on through
>Y' gotta survive no matter what you do
After failure, the series needs to do something drastic.
>Toot, toot, Sonic Warrior Forever in your mind!
Sonic Mania. Yet again.
>You've got the power to save the land!
Sonic Mania has the potential to save the series. It HAS the power, but only time will tell if it will.
>The power is in your mind
Def of Mania: mental illness marked by periods of great excitement, euphoria, delusions, and overactivity.

In Conclusion: Sonic Mania will mark the return of Sonic. It's what Sonic CD's been hinting at all this time.

Classic games aren't called Classic Sonic 1, 2, etc. they just call them that due to the design of Sonic and how he plays

Advance has no real identity to itself other than visually. The gameplay was different each game and always had shitty was to get the Chaos Emeralds or piss poor level design. I wouldn't mind a modern, 2D game in the art style but HD, but calling it Advance wouldn't mean anything

After that I'll get bored of the official games and move on to the most recent official game, Sonic Mania.
If I'm bored from all of that, I'll go and play some other games until I'm bored of those and want to play Sonic (Mania) again.

Someone post that clip of the crowd roaring when he says the "no good sonic games" line on stage.

Say what you want about arin, but his fans are far, far worse human beings. Despite how shitty he is, arin does that to give people want they want for his personal gain. But those people in the crowd hate sonic with him to get an emotional high. That's so beyond belief for me. There are games out there that are totally unacceptable, or just fun to shit on to salvage a bad situation, but I would never even think someone could turn that into a spiritual experience, complete with dogma and a church.

What would piss me off most is if they follow his advice and he still shits on the game for controversy and youtube views.
