Best Sonic game since Generations, and best 2D Sonic game in a very long time

>>387230506
>Also, how do you replay individual levels?
Is this possible ?

Anyone speak Nintendo here? I am a bit stuck with this, I am trying to find the name of the gem and I couldn't translate this Nintendo gibberish.

Probably shit posting about how much better pc gaming is to try and piss off console bros, but the bros are actually playing video games so they don't notice.

>>387230647
It's straight up just the best 2D Sonic. Even better than all three Mega Drive games. It'll be a slow burn but people will come to realize this when they revisit Mania more than the classics whenever they want to play some Sonic.

>>387231325
You can find out about their names if you speak Nintendo.

>>387231325
only I'm allowed to know them

>>387230903
It has missed potential due to time constraints. With an extra unlockable character, online co-op/comp modes, and a ratio fix for local competitive, it would be a 10/10 easy. As it stands it's already the best Sonic game

>>387230647
It's damn good, the only gripes i have are that there are a few bugs, Oil ocean still sucks and the super Sonic boss is a bit underwhelming

>>387231420
Why are the names even in Japanese in the first place? It's not a Japanese game.

The game is great, but they fucked up with the transitions. 3&K had flawless transitions, all levels connected in a way that made sense.

>>387231256
is it not Up+Jump?

That's the cutest thing ever. I've never played as tails before I'm always player one so it was nice to see that.

HOW CAN I REPLAY INDIVIDUAL LEVELS YOU MENTALLY ILL WOOMY ZOOMIES

>>387231685
It's a Best Of album. It won't connect the same as S3&K which all took place on the same island.

What is D.A Garden? A new zone? So we have 5 new zones total? Sorry I'm a virgin to the series.

>>387231256

You have to be in "No save mode" to toggle the unlockable extras on/off

Does Sonic and Nights take place in the same universe?

>>387231737
He did that in Sonic3 too.

I haven't played it yet but all I had to see was the use of the fucking Sandopolis light switches in Oil Ocean Zone to sell me on it.

>>387231781
Of course, but there's still a story being told, so they should connect levels in a sensible way anyway.

>>387230647
It's a damn good game, although it's not the perfect 10/10 some Sonic fans wished it was. A lot of the common criticisms I've seen of the game can just be chalked up to autism - stuff like "the levels don't transition seamlessly enough" (who honestly cares?) or "why isn't there online for the multiplayer" (that would be a clusterfuck and a waste of dev time). With that being said, there ARE legitimate improvements that could be made for a potential Sonic Mania 2.

Firstly, the spread of unlockable content seems to be laid out all wrong. You get all of the interesting unlockables really quickly and then fuck all later on on the harder Blue Sphere stages. There should have been a few more unlockables later on (no, not Amy Rose you autistic fucks) and they should have been worth the hassle because some of those later Blue Sphere stages are BRUTAL especially if you're going for the Perfect.

The game definitely feels like there was supposed to be one or two more zones in there - the Heavy you fight at the end of Lava Reef doesn't really seem to belong there (he was probably supposed to have his own zone at some point) and Titanic Monarch seems to have an overwhelming amount of assets in Act 1 specifically that look like they belong to Chrome Gadget Zone. I know the game is chock full of references but with the way some of the assets contrast in the last zone it wouldn't surprise me if Chrome Gadget was intended to be a zone at some point. Also Knuckles doesn't get as many exclusive acts and routes as he probably should. It's a minor gripe but the major campaign differences between Sonic and Knuckles was one of my favorite things about S3K.

If you liked the Genesis Sonic games, it's worth buying. A great game overall, but we'll need more time to be able to honestly tell how it ranks up compared to the other 2D Sonic's

I completed S3K with all super emeralds for the first time at the weekend to commemorate. Now give me tips on doing the same for Sonic 2 because fuck the half pipe.

>>387230647
a solid 3/10

>>387232750
Yeah I stopped reading when you brushed off the complaints of other people before launching into your totally valid take on the game. Fuck yourself you self-important idiot.

>>387232750
Did you guys start the totinos and chili dog party yesterday? Fuckkk I was at work

>complete flying battery zone 2
>zero transition into press garden

really made me think. lizuka you fucked the flow of this game you fool, should of just been pure new levels with all transitions

>>387232557
The level designs and art is exponentially improved from the originals. If you are a fan of the classic Sonic games you DESERVE to play it man. Trust me.

Tfw your reaction times are faster than they were 20 years ago thanks to endlessly playing children's party games

>>387233171
Transitions are important to some people, getting to play Sonic with friends who aren't local is important to some people, unlockable characters like Amy or Metal are important to some people. You can't just dismiss the wants of everything that doesn't appeal to you specifically and throw the blanket of autism over everything you deem unimportant. That is an egocentric bitch boy attitude and you don't deserve to be validated for it.

Not that anon but people who legitimately thought Amy or Metal would be unlockable are retarded. The very first trailer said three playable characters, there was never even any slight little indication there would be more and it is well known that classicautists generally want to keep the roster to the holy trifecta of Sonic-Tails-Knuckles. Anybody disappointed by their lack of inclusion was brainwashed by Rosy shitposting and should feel bad

So how do you get into the Level Select/Sound Test?

>>387233858
Level select works like Sonic 3: Beat the game and then you can select levels from your completed save file.

>>387230647
I came.

>>387233828
In a game like this with fanservice as far as you can see and known unlockable content, it's not too much to hope for an unspoken character of some sort. Especially since Mania is emulating games from an area when hidden characters and rumors of hidden characters ran rampant.

>>387233762
How do I play levels over

>>387230506
>can't make a good game without directly copying and pasting the original

It's great, but it's great because people like the first game. 50% good game 50% nostalgia jerk off sim.

I'm sure more people are nostalgic for Emerald Hill than Green Hill, but it's not the first ever Sonic Stage so it gets back benched.

It had a jump and hit the floor above like the mario world bonus level, if its a ring box you can jump again, if its not you end up on the next level with 3 chances above again!

>>387233563
Green Hill has never done anything for me honestly. It was a weak stage in sonic 1 and is inferior to Palmtree Panic, Emerald Hill, and Angel Island in every conceivable way.

They did a solid job of it here; but I don't want to see green hill zone in a sonic game for the next 15 years if at all possible.

Whats the deal with the blue ring boxes? Do they just make rings easier to collect when you get hit?

Hold the bottom and left face bottons on the title screen while Sonic is doing his dance, and while still holding them, press start.

Play Taxman version (most bullshit in special stage got fixed) or do Sonic solo run as it has less ring demands.

>>387234897
Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 Complete. How do you fuck up that bad by not playing these?

>>387235095
And here are the controls for the Level Select Menu, that I've found, based ob the Switch buttons:

A to Select something
+ to Exit
Y to change between the playable characters
X to turn Tails on or off (only on Sonic)

I've tried a few of the level select codes such as the Super Sonic, and the Debug date codes from Sonic 2 (even substituted Sonic Mania's release date), but nothing has triggered anything yet.

I'm sure there must be something though.

Also, playing the super stage dumps you back to the title screen, and you can do the level select code again, and it remembers your character and position, but selecting the special stage again, just replays the first one.

Would you say this game is better than Freedom Planet?

>>387235092
Rings matter for the purpose of increasing your score (and can give stuff like continues). You shouldn't worry too much about them on a first playthrough.

The optimal way is to play (outside of strict speedrunning shit) is to go through the stages and figure out the optimal way to explore and get stuff while maintaining a decent pace.

TVs are just basic powerups like shields, rings, lives

Giant ring is the portal to the special stage where you try to collect a chaos emerald (collecting 7 allows for transformation into super sonic and in S3&K and Sonic Heroes specifically, it unlocks the true final boss). There's a set number of them in the game and the giant rings are always in the exact same places no matter how many times you go through a stage.

Additionally; if you fuck up in a special stage; that giant ring becomes useless for your present playthrough; so you'll need to find another one for another attempt at that emerald.

>>387234616
>Not reading the entire string of comments before replying

Special Stage 7 is actually easy, you can catch the UFO at Mach 2 no problem.

However if you hit Mach 3 you will just fucking fly off the stage.

What's this about bugs? I have the PS4 version and didn't encounter a single one.

>>387235092
Dude, my 8 years old fucking knew about this. What the fuck. Are you legitimately retarded?

Your goal is to finish levels and to have fun. You have fun by going fast, though you can also stop and explore if that's what is fun for you.

>Should you be seeking out every TV to smash?
Is that autism?

>What rewards do these garner? What about enemies? Should you be trying to kill them all or is it okay to just run past them?

1.) More rings = more score = more lives and a bigger safety net when damaged to a point. You also need them to access the bonus stages with the extra unlockables. In the Special stages (which are different) they exist to keep you in the stage until you run out. It's more of a self imposed challenge and a sign of good play to hold onto as many as you can.

2) You can do either. Two of the characters have abilities built around exploring the levels. The speed is an exhilarating gimmick that works with the physics but you don't go fast 100% of the time unless you are good. You're meant to barge through the game the first few times and replay until you get better, faster, and find routes for speedrunning or aesthetic preference. There are also lots of alternate routes to keep replays fresh hide secrets. Though you can't spend too much time thanks to them keeping the 10 minute death counter.

3) Monitors give points and powerups, and in some cases are hazards. 90% of the time they are a net positive and you want whats inside like a shield or more rings. The eggman monitors hurt you and sometimes you don't want to swap your shield for something else given the stage hazards or in Sonic's case the abilities he gets with them.

4) You just need to find the big rings and they take you to the special stage. If you beat or fail the special stage they grey out and you can't access that particular ring again until you beat the game and play over the save. You have to keep seeking out different Warp Rings to get more chances to nab emeralds. The emeralds unlock Super states which are OP superpower funtime mode and the hidden endings.

>Titanic Monarch seems to have an overwhelming amount of assets in Act 1 specifically that look like they belong to Chrome Gadget Zone. I know the game is chock full of references but with the way some of the assets contrast in the last zone it wouldn't surprise me if Chrome Gadget was intended to be a zone at some point
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. It has the same moonlit cloudy sky, areas of the foreground tileset are directly taken from Chrome Gadget and scaled up, it has the yellow bumper things and I think some of the fans too.

His complaint was that game overs sent you to the beginning of the zone rather than the act. I think that's valid.

>>387238034
Dark Souls is literally less punishing than Sonic Mania. Your knowledge of the level and enemy layouts plus the short cuts turn run backs into slaps on the wrist. Mania being a 2D game makes juking around obstacles impossible and the level design isn't meant to point you to the fastest route. Even then staying on that route requires you to stay sharp.

Just finished it. It was honestly a really well polished and fun game. I feel like the classic levels definitely outshine the newer ones. I'd probably have to say Studiopolis is the best of the bunch of the brand new levels. I didn't enjoy Press Garden all that much. Felt like a filler level and the design concept of the first act just felt pretty dumb. Why the fuck would there be a garden and a printing press in the same place? But, I guess I'm trying to put logic where there never was.I also kind of wish the UFO mini game and blue sphere was swapped. I feel like the UFO one has kind of shitty controls and isn't really fun. Though, the rings to the UFO mini game are wayyyyy harder to find than Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Before they just handed that shit out. You have to explore more now.

The transitions are kind of weird. Sometimes you just go into the next level and other times Eggman warps you to the old ones. I know they're trying to give a reason for the classic levels, but it just feels so jarring. I would have rather just a straight shot that sort of kind of connected into one another.

No one is saying the game is bad because of it, but why couldn't they have done it if it was done really well more than 20 years ago?

It really confused the shit outta me how some levels transitioned flawlessly like mirage saloon to Oil Ocean but most didn't even bother having one or just used a time warp as a convenient excuse.

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.

They have a fixed rotation, and once you've got a gold medal on a course it won't show up again until you've gotten gold on all of them.

It was good practice for the chemical plant zone boss. Robotnik can't play polo polo for shit

No you couldn't because it would look jarring and fangamey as fuck.
The Sonic 3 artists knew what they're doing.

How about they are just simple stage transitions to fucking move the game along? Every think of that autismo?

G-GUYS IS THE 8BITDO NOT WORKING FOR ANYONE ELSE...

You wouldn't be calling it autism if your favorite game suddenly stopped having cutscenes and didn't explain shit

>>387246710

Will anyone be able to beat it if it's Robotnik's Mean Bean machine AI?

He doesn't have the flickies this time.
