A thread for those who are playing Sonic Mania Are you

I'm at Flying Battery, two emeralds down. Blue Spheres is still the bane of my existence.

>A thread for those who are playing Sonic Mania
That's me
>Are you playing Sonic Mania?
No

Game completed with Tails and Knuckles and with their Super Form unlocked, a bit less than half of the silver medal unlocked and around 7 gold medal.

Tails super form is nerfed, he doesn't have the flickie now.

No special ending neither for the sidekick if you unlock their super form, unlike S3&K.

Getting the emeralds is really easy until the fifth one.

Hot tip for fifth one: Prioritize rings first, then get Mach 3 (Get the arrow off the double ring jump, if you can), then take the shortest routes you can take (Always take the route that has the two ring capsules and the arrow, never cut right). Focus more on dodging things than getting rings once you get Mach 3.

I fucking suck at Sonic, but I'm enjoying myself anyway. Is it me or does the game seem to be moving too fast?

>>387219548
2 more weeks!

Apparently people are reporting Switch failures due to the system running too hot when playing Mania.

>>387219548

Fuck these new Emerald Special stages, god damn.

Also the boss difficulty is extremely inconsistent.
Some I had trouble with, then 3 stages later I got a boss I was just like, "that's it....."

OH SHIT

I'm at Oil Ocean and I've only successfully completed 2 Blue Sphere stages and 1 Emerald stage.

Controlling sonic in the bonus stages seems legit fucked, it'll just drop my input when it wants.

You can only revisit special stages in zones you've already beaten.

What's everyone's favorite track?
I gotta say Lava Reef Act 2 has completely won me over with it's 90s Japanese computer game flare.

>>387219548
I want to, I really do but I'm not sure if I should just cancel my special edition order that arrives on Thursday. I feel like just buying it now instead of waiting. Do you guys think the special edition is worth it?

It all comes down to if you really want that Sonic figure, fake cart with ring and metal card thing.

>>387220469
Personally, no but I really hate cheap plastic shit and collector's editions.

>>387219548
At the 5th emerald. Restarted twice because fuck those fucking fail screens. Can't seem to get it down when I'm sliding sideways for half a course. After seeing the fail screen 7 times I legit just want to die. Anyway, turns out you can bug the shit out of the bosses and freeze the game. Happened 3 times already (Twice at the MBM boss, once at Studiopolis or whatever act 2 boss. Pretty sure having tails as player 2 fucks them somehow. Might just be random though.

/mini rant. But seriously, fuck the emerald challenges.

Having this game on the Switch makes me want homebrew real bad. More old games need to be on this thing, nigga. NOW.

Had a few bugs so far:

- died in the Flying Battery Act 2 boss, fell through the platform despite beating eggman
- twice now I've beaten the S3 special stage despite having 1 or 2 blue orbs left

WHERE THE FUCK IS PLAYABLE AMY

>>387220602
I was thinking the same thing, having the originals on it would be amazing.

>>387220604
Switch or PS4?

>>387220641
collect every gold medal and become global best time in green hill zone act 1

>>387220641
Fucking hell there's no playable Amy.

It's amazing but it really lacks that polish which I'd honestly expect forma fangame but not this.

This one

Beat it, 1 emerald and 7 game overs total
The stages were pretty easy but the bosses were hard out of nowhere (Studiopolis Act 1 and Flying Battery Act 2, to name a few) Beat the final boss first try though?

>>387219548
Just beat it and got the "bad" ending. Planning on getting all the emeralds to get the "good" ending.

>>387220751

>>387219548
My first Sonic game.
I'm at the part where the robots are chasing you with the missiles in like, the 3rd level I think.
I'm enjoying it so far.

>>387220604
I have had two as well:
>Crash after Zone 2's mid boss. I got the bounce shield abd was soamming it during the transition into act 2.
>Music just randomly stopped in the airship zone until the boss.

I'm a poorfag this month due to changes in my work schedule, but I'll probably get it next month.

It'll be out on PC by then, right?

This is actually my first classic Sonic game, never could get invested past Green Hill Zone as a kid - between this and Sonia Advance (which I started playing recently too), I feel like I was just a dumb kid.
Is there a way to redo the special UFO stages in Mania? I just erased my save to redo the GHZ one but I screwed up on the Chemical Plant game.
The game is really fun so far, I'm only two zones in but it's already taken me like an hour. Time attack is gonna be awesome too.

>>387220942
It's coming out on PC on the 29th, so just before the end of August.

First Game over at Titanic Monarch Act 2.
Fug.

I feel so rusty.

Yes and I love it. Have a raging nostalgia boner and I'm not really a Sonic fan. Glad to see him return to form finally. Sonic only ever worked in 2D and it is nice to see someone put in the extra work to animate sprites and develop compelling sprawling multi-tier levels with fun boss fights. I'm just worried it is going to end too quickly.

Runs beautifully on my Switch.

The real question is what filter are you using? I'm using NONE. It defaults to CLEAR. I suggest everyone disable clear though because it just adds a disgusting blur effect to everything.

You can clear the game without all the emeralds and just replay through that save again from Green Hill and get all the emeralds you missed, as the ones you got beforehand have appeared again and you can use them to get more emeralds.

I'm disappointed. S3&K is my favourite, mania seems like a rom hack of an advance game. There's something about it that's off. Special stage is wank also, like playing Sonic R. Still rocking the blue spheres though. I have no idea what the story is. What's the deal with the gem? What's with all the warping and random Sonic CD future posts at the end of one of the stages?

>>387221032
Thanks anon, that'll be my MO for the second playthrough - the sprites and music are godly, I'd replay this game just for the tracks alone.

Beat it about 2 hours ago as Sonic in one sitting. I haven't gushed this much about playing a Sonic game in fucking years. Gonna pick it back up in a few minutes to try and again all the emeralds but holy shit is it just me or are the giant rings hard to find? The special stages themselves take quite a bit of getting used to as well.

>>387221058
It's a cool touch how having the fire shield actually ignites any Oil you touch

>>387221072
it's worth it if you want mania 2

It's good to know that after all these years, I still fucking despise Flying Battery Zone.

>>387221103
Just replay Green Hill over and over to grind the emeralds

>>387221015
>Company survey on Google Docs
lolno. That's not legit.

>>387221104
Not that anon but I thought it was really dope how the wooden spike bridges get burnt away if you have a fire shield.

>>387221103
>is it just me or are the giant rings hard to find? The special stages themselves take quite a bit of getting used to as well.

My thoughts exactly.
I feel like I have some bias though. Since I remembered all the Giant Ring locations in 3+K maybe it just feels like I can't find any because I'm used to getting a bunch.

These levels are pretty fuckin big

But that's one of the the best boss

This is my first 2D Sonic game and god damn Flying Battery Act 2 is kicking my ass. There's a segment where you use a spring to launch yourself and run on the ceiling, but I never have enough speed so I fall into a bottomless pit. FUCK. Other than that I'm having a blast, this game is fucking great.
Also I can't stop listening to Studiopolis Act 2 because god damn Tee Lopes you glorious motherfucker.
https://youtu.be/lTqrzwz6c8c

The idea of remixing is fun, but when they're made explicitly worse or just downright copied from the original (ex. Hydrocity) it's annoying. There were also way too many throwbacks to the originals in the new zones, and when there are so little of them in the first place I'd rather they have their own unique gimmicks.

RIP

Things I don't like:
Blue Spheres shows up way too often. I know it's optional but if you want to take the time to try and get medals it breaks up the core gameplay too frequently
Mirage Saloon is like 1/3 the length of the rest of the stages, it was over before I realized
Oil Ocean just felt like a fucking chore with those dopey green cap things

Rest is pretty great.

Chemical Plant Act 2 Boss blew me out the water, I don't think anything else compares.

Oil Ocean's inclusion probably would have got me too, because I was one of the ones that wanted it, but I had been spoiled on that part.

A "bad" surprise was Mirage Saloon being Sky Chase. Sky Chase's big draw was that it was near the end of the game, it signaled to you that you're hitting the final level by having this suddenly different style of play, its a wake-up call for a player who might be fatigued after Metropolis Zone. The context of its place in the lineup is incredibly important, because its a terrible level for a Sonic game, taking all the momentum out of you, just putting you on rails. Mirage Saloon is smack dab in the middle and it seemed like it was included because they felt they had to have Sky Chase for some reason. Terrible design, in fact I gotta say the level order in general just doesn't feel good. Flying Battery seems way too hard to come before Press Garden, Lava Reef needed to come earlier. Just all feels off.

Still one of the best games I've played in a long time.

Yup. If you had a second controller plugged in, someone could control Tails.

In the old games you couldn't. It was added in Taxman's S1/S2 ports and also put in Sonic 3 Complete.

Jump while also pressing up to make Tails fly. You can grab on to him and you can fly.

All the returning zones have parts of them that are reminiscent of their original layouts. That doesn't make them carbon copies. The actual stages are arranged quite differently and are sequentially very different.

anyone else seeing where content has potentially been cut?

-lack of level transitions in the second half
-sonic doesn't fight the caped hard-boiled heavy from the cinematic
-the stunt rider heavy is in a bizarre location (Lava Reef) indicating that he had a scrapped 'stunt night' zone.

What do you get from blue spheres? I have yet to see a streamer complete a single stage of it.

I dunno, they're not all entirely fitting. Press Garden was changed from a newspaper factory into a frozen shinto shrine level for whatever reason and the magician hard boiled heavy doesn't exactly fit into mirage saloon. it's more the fact that he changes into Nack, Bean and Bark if anything.
