Sonic Mania: LAUNCH EDITION

Should I get the Switch version just so I can have it now, or should I risk waiting for PC to see whether or not Denuvo will cockblock mods?

STILL NOT OUT ON SWITCH WHAT THE FUCK

Anyone have footage of Chuckle's Mirage Saloon Act 1?

>>387203915
You can't even have it now on the Switch. We're still waiting 2 more hours.

SM means Super Mario, give it back!

Switch version isn't out for a couple hours.

completed it earlier [uk bro, came out about 5 hours ago for us]

it is god tier

However, it should of been all new zones, the exception is stardustspeedway and GH, if the sequel is ALL newzones, expect the greatest sonic th ehedgehog 2d game of our time.

It would be fucking great if I could play Sonic Mania. OH WAIT, I CAN'T BECAUSE IT'S NOT UP IN ANY CONSOLE'S STORE YET.

Switch or PC? Get it on Switch. possibly best console version, you can take it anywhere, and the game most assuredly will have some cockblocking DRM for some time. They didn't delay it for nothing...

Thanks to how shit usually goes for me I expect the steam version delay to last beyond august.

Unless they magically fix the pc version by the morning I'm pirating it, they might as well delay it even longer since I'm gonna see all the spoilers before the 29th.

Go ahead sega, delay it beyond august, turn me into a bitter sonic fan who wants the series to die. Everything else loves giving me a middle finger, clearly I need more of them.

This just in, don't buy on PS4 since the control is unresponsive as fuck and "complete bullshit" according to DSP!

I'm more upset about the fact the we didn't know that this wouldn't come out midnight eastern time on switch than that it isn't. All the other games I've bought on switch came out on midnight eastern. If I knew this shit wasn't coming out I would have just went to sleep and played it when I got up. Whatever, I'ma go play a match of CSGO and go to sleep.

We get warped to South Island from Angel, then warped to West Island from there, then from Chemical plant we rise from the sewers to Studiopolis, indicating it is the city in Chemical Plant's background. From it we are whisked away on the Flying Battery where we're dropped off at Press Garden, still on what must be West Island. Then we're teleported to Tiny Planet. So far so good.

Then shit gets weird and the transitions start getting fucky. From Tiny Planet we black screen to us falling into Angel Island's Hydrocity. Where after completion we next see our heroes in the Tornado flying over Mirage Saloon. So Angel Island still? Nope. Mirage Saloon is on West Island as seen when you complete it and get shot over to Oil Ocean. Then shit stays weird as from Oil Ocean we get dropped off into Lava Reef of all fucking places.

All I've got for figuring that out is maybe Oil Ocean is a series of platforms that extend from West to Angel Island? Then we can sort of figure we can fall from Tiny Planet's Stardust Speedway to Hydrocity since Tiny Planet is later shown to be above Angel Island in Lava Reef.

This game seriously needs its transitions fixed.

The trick is (at least on switch) if you fail a ufo run dont go back into the level just go on the home and immediately close and reopen the game. When you reload your save the gold ring wont be greyed out meaning you can try again and again. Better to do it on early stages then suffer and die on harder ones later on.

anyone else get a bit bored around flying battery? the new stages are great but the old stages are super romhack tier.
also im tired of doing blue sphere every time i hit a checkpoint post. but it unlocked a lot of shit apparently

>press garden zone act 2

WELL. I'M SHOOTING BLANKS, LADS.NO MORE SEMEN CAN COME OUT.

MANIA SEQUEL WITH ONLY NEW ZONES WHEN?

Have I just become shit with age, or does Sonic 2 have a huge difficulty spike towards the end?

The Death Egg zone is ridiculous, the hitzone on both bosses is super weird, and having to fight them with 0 rings is bullshit.

>>387205545
This fall, but it's not what you think...

>>387205486
I preordered after I saw the preorder trailer saying you could.

>>387205543
You seem to be a minority.

how are people playing on switch?

is it just not out yet in US?

Is Titanic Monarch actually based off of Genocide City or are you guys memeing?

I haven't been following Sonic Mania but I'm really getting the urge to buy it.
Any chance of a physical release?

>>387205569
I always run out of lives just before the end of Sonic 2, to be honest

>>387205486
I preordered about a month ago right around the time you started posting since you think tripfagging is acceptable

>>387205483
Alot of stages are like that, it really kills the game when you go from a remixed Act into a straight clone of Lava Reef Act 2's layout. Then you have Metallic Madness which is almost like a new Zone.

It's based on the scrapped Cyber City Zone. Not only is it a technologically advanced city like in the Sonic 2 concept art, but there are dial up sounds in the act 1 music. It is not surprising considering Mirage Saloon Zone is basically Dust Hill Zone.

>>387205746
its a little tricky but how i do it is hold up and tap jump twice, if you time it right sonic jumps right into tails arms, then mash jump to fly, thats how i did it.

>>387205746
Hold up when you jump. You can then hold on to Tails if you jump up to him.

I would have gotten the collector's edition if it came as a physical game. I don't really give a fuck about cheap chink toys.

Guys, I think I came down with the mania.

>>387205771
So Act 1 is Cyber City while Act 2 is Genocide City. That's so cool.

So is it me or does it feel off? Controls are like the classic games but not really. Special stages suck, and for some reason studiopolis act 1 boss was hard as fuck for me. What the hell. I just played the original games yesterday with no trouble.

>>387205771

>>387205683

>>387205715

Yeah, the entire game is GOAT, fun as fuck, just as I remember, but this last boss is fucking HARD.

Oh boy I hope you Sonic autists learned your lesson. But I'm betting you didn't.

>>387205003
Sonic CD happens between 1 & 2
If it happened after 2 Tails would be there and Mania happens right after 3K

Also because Metal Sonic is a roboticized Sonic from the bad future, hence why he is the greatest robot version of Sonic because he IS Sonic. After CD Eggman tried to make his own robot Sonic (Silver Sonic and Mecha Sonic) but neither were as powerful as Metal.

Next game should have Green Hill Zone.

WHY WONT IT LET ME BUY IT ON ESHOP FHDJGJHNHHN

Anybody else feel like the input kinda lags on the bonus stages. Idk what it is but it feels off from S3&K.
Maybe I just need to get gud.

Just got to Flying Battery. Holy shit this is fantastic. It'll be worth the wait Switch/PC bros. Speaking of which, I'm definitely getting it on Switch as well. Playing this on the go would be orgasmic.

So, anons, do you think we'll ever be free of Green Hill zone and its carbon copies? I get the feeling even if we get an all new zones Mania 2 it'll still end up with a "Paradise Ocean" zone or some shit.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

How the fuck do you get perfects on certain Bonus Stages/Blue Sphere Zones?
In some stages when I wrap around some Blue Spheres to get rings, the stage ends without me able to collect the rings left from the wrap around. Like the Spheres will just fly up, the remaining rings from the path will be left behind and I will receive a Silver Coin.

But, if you never see a tripfag's name, you'll never know that their behavior is associated with a tripfag anyway. And moreover, if there's a behavior to them, then even if they didn't have their trip on, they'd still behave that way.

>not calling him Dr. Robotnik
he will never be Eggman, just like King Koopa will never be Bowser.

The entire release schedule for this game is an absolute shitshow.

>Nintendo has no protection against people getting codes early and the game is leaked early
>PC delayed 4 days before release
>PS4 and Switch get midnight releases while Xbox has to wait 8 more hours

You can play as Tails and Knuckles, but not Knuckles and Tails
