First playthrough takes around 3-4h if you do an average amount of secrets. Then you can play through it again with some of the other characters and hunt for secrets. Probably like 15h to 100% it

Whats wrong with the pc version? Im on ps4

>>387230092
It's not out yet. That's what's wrong.

1-3

Pro tip for the special stages:
It's easy as all shit to turn on a dime when you're jumping. This makes stage 5 a hell of a lot easier, is very very useful for stage 6 and is NECESSARY on stage 7. Enjoy!

>>387230092
I think it's bugs. The switch and PS4 versions have shown a wide range of bugs so far. I think they couldn't delay the console versions for some contractual reason, but could delay the steam version.

I have the sonic mega collection plus. What is the correct order to play sonic before I get Mania?

>>387229982
1, 2, 3 and knuckles, CD, maybe the Amy versions of 2 and 3, Advanced 1 and 2, Yoshi in Sonic 2.

That's pretty much the only way to do it, but holy shit I am a god at that level now.

I got insta-killed by jumping on the cap as it was coming back down. I guess the flames hit through the cap or something. Also, the damn boss on act 2 can insta-kill you too if you get too close when he's coming up.

so having just made it to Mirage Saloon the best new area thus far is Press Garden, especially the boss which was a bit deceptive with the difficulty
I hear that this one and the last are thinly veiled Sonic 2 Beta references and I can see it pretty clearly already in Mirage Saloon so that might change

>>387231317
> I guess the flames hit through the cap or something
It's the cap itself that insta-kills, not the flame. You probably clipped under it somehow.

It chewed up a lot of my lives the first time but I aced it on my second playthrough. Try to stay close to the center. Robotnik always seems to fire his beam at an angle so you're safe directly under him. It also reduces the risk of being crushed by spikes.

>>387231718
it's easy anon
you can hit him twice on a single pole
and in the narrow section with spikes on both sides you can knock him into them without one

Yes, but we're entering a new-sincerity era.

Who is Infinite? Classic Sonic who got corrupt from going back and forth through time? Tails that was left behind? A robot that was created by Robot nick from the time stone, which is obtained via time paradox?

Someone I know is getting the Switch version even though he can't get it until the PC version comes out anyways. Said person is also on his PC for games near all the time so I don't get it, and upon questioning he pretty much made an answer akin to "I want my Switch library to have actual games in it" even though it'd be the version less accommodating for what he does. Basically forcing himself to get the Switch version so he can say "The Switch has games!"

Mods are unlikely in the short or mid term because the tools aren't there for it. This is a new version of the Retro Engine too, so what tools there were (for CD `11) are no longer usable. It's starting from square zero, and mods will be a long time coming.

Just beat it with a grand total of three special stages found, and two completed because I was retarded in one.

It's definitely this way, but the mania success and forces probably being at least panned by reviewers are going to make him envious.

Probably. Outside of StF all I know is that he's based on Bin from Dynamite Dux (their name is spelled the same in Japanese and Bin is an alternate skin for Bean in Fighters Megamix, so maybe their meant to be the same character I don't fuckin know) and all he wanted to do was score some human pussy, which lead to him saving the world from some ancient demon lord.

Is there a way to have tails pick you up in mania or no? I felt like I saw him doing that somewhere

So what's the verdict on the Switch version? Are the bugs and glitches game-breakingly common or just the occasional "fuck you" that you can reset and work around? Home menu aside, it sounds like that one's a constant.

>>387238112
I doubt they'd want to move to Japan to form a new Sonic Team. If they would(which is unlikely) they should keep the rest of the jap members because they'd be a huge help(under guidance from a proper director like Taxman/Stealth they'd do far better) and maybe recall some old Sonic Team members(like Yasuhara)

>>387238184
Press up and the left button depending on whatever controller you're using to make him start flying, then jump into him from the bottom to grab on. Keep pressing buttons to fly, or press down + the bottom button to drop off

>>387238184
Press jump twice while holding up. You have to land in Tails' hands though so it takes some timing.

To see the true ending, you gotta get the chaos emeralds. That's standard Sonic fare. Rings are just for life and score. The medals are new; you can collect them to get unlockables.

>>387230304
Yeah I'm loving the game so far but at one point I loaded in after a special stage and there was no music then when the level tried to progress after the boss it just crashed to the Xbone home screen. I'll try it out in my Switch later tonight, I guess they weren't kidding about optimization.

Michael Jackson may or may not have something to do with the track so it's easier to just forget it existed. That's why you'll never see Ice Cap, Carnival Night, or Launch Base again.
