Best part of this game. So exhillarating, so NiGHTS

I suck dick at Blue Sphere

>>387265260
This.

>>387265260

Blue Sphere is the worst part

How anyone thinks it's good is beyond me

I want more UFO stages, just for fun.

>>387265260

Tip for blue sphere: You can jump infinitely but only turn at the blue sphere. Orange spheres are your worst enemy and if you want perfect, go for Ringable spheres first.

To be frank, it's a lot easier since they ported a majority of the blue sphere stages from the originals.

they sure are, but fuck me the special stage rings are so hard to find

in s3&k you couldn't move without touching 2 of them per act now i struggle to find one every 3 stages

Is this some shitty eceleb meme?

I cant enjoy the game because my autism dictates that I must get ALL the emeralds as soon as possible, so every time I fail a special stage I quit the game to try again. Because of that I fought the Studiopolis Heavy 4 times.
Currently on Flying Battery act 1 on the 6th emerald.

So is it me or does the game's difficulty border on autistic fan game territory? I like it so far but goddamn so many parts of it just feel like shit. Stage layouts are all over the place, it's almost like a bad version of Sonic CD at times. Why is the game so difficult? Glitches aren't the only thing wrong with this game. Anyone else notice this?

I thought that, but I'm not so sure. It's reminding me of rom hacks like Sonic Megamix. A good romhack, but the stage layouts can get retarded.

>>387266924
You're just shit. The game definitely is harder than 3&K but that one was piss-easy.

I keep hearing about people bitching about the difficulty and game overs when here I am at the final stretch with 30 lives.

>>387266924
I literally have like 10 lives on my first playthrough and probably have died like 3 times and I'm like 2/3s through the game

https://youtu.be/JkLfzkHRMXk?t=1100

I marathoned the original games last week and it's pretty noticable that Mania is a lot more difficult. Anybody saying otherwise is a goddamn liar.

>>387267363

Oil Ocean is exceptionally, ridiculously hostile compared to the rest of the game.

Sonic Team on suicide watch.
How can they even compete with Sonic Forces?

>>387266506

It's more like Knuckles Chaotix in that respect. Same with the "using rings as time" mechanic.

>>387267486
This is fucking great. Do any other bosses live up to this? I haven't played the game yet, and I'm really excited to, but I can't until Thursday. Does the game live up to the hype overall?

>>387267474
well ask the dude in first

>>387266924

git gud

>>387267550

oh good. I thought I was just disgustingly rusty at sonic or something since I ate so much shit at Flying Battery, Oil Ocean and the Titanic Monarch.

>>387267486

Couldn't make it too far into that video. Jesus what an obnoxious person.

>>387267602
It's actually really fucking funny how Sonic Team have been completely BTFO by a random gaijin fan game hyper autist

>>387265260

Blue sphere comes easy to me. This UFO shit is bananas

So is it safe to say we're probably getting a Mania 2 at some point?

>>387267596
Oil Ocean didn't stand out to me difficulty-wide other than the boss. In fact the whole time I was thinking about how much smoother things were going since those seahorse badniks don't immediately attack anymore.

>>387266932

you set up controllers from the dashboard on the switch.

not the pieceofshitstation

>>387267474

>>387267596

I honestly found Hydrocity to be the hardest. This particular incarnation was pretty balls to walls difficult. Oil Ocean never gave me trouble, save for the bosses.

>>387267550
I replayed most of S2 earlier today and Mania is pretty much at the exact same level of difficulty, maybe the bosses are a bit harder (or more interesting, at least)

>>387267829
Who would have thought the fans of Sonic would want a game that plays like the original?

>>387267660
>>387267475

I dunno it feels like NiGHTS. The way you collect orbs and also have a feeling risk/reward by collectings ring for time and ceratin routes slowing you down and stuff.

>>387267676
Amazingly yes, people are generally saying it's on a similar level of quality to the originals, though not necessarily the best one

>>387268126
am I going crazy someone has to have the same opinion

>>387267829

It just shows you no matter how good you think you are there is someone better

Also, the sonic team was out of touch with their source material, people don't want sonic 06 they want this

UFO is garbage
Fucking horrible hit detection

>>387265260
What does that stage even do for you? You obviously don't get Chaos Emeralds or powerups, so what does it do?

>>387267829

in a way they already admitted defeat letting the game happen.

Iizuka is the Vice President of Product Development and Creative Services huh? according to the credits

>>387267908
It's safe to say SoJ will react to any success with jealousy and contempt, downplaying it with a "that's nice" while going all in on Forces marketing. Their last input on Mania was effectively "oh right, that, guess we'll see how it does lol." We'll get Forces 2 before Mania 2.

Prove me wrong.

Thank you Ken Penders.

>>387268835
I bet he's fuming at the positive reaction to mania while 3d sonic is well known as being complete shit. fuck him

Are the Act 1 of every old zone exactly the same as the original? I only played the first two zones before I had to put it down, but Act 1 both times were "I've already played this level". If every Act 1 is like this for all 8, that's 1/3rd of the game (which is already smaller than S3&K) I've already played, which is bad

Sonic 2 special stages outright require trial and error and punish you heavily for not going into the damn options beforehand and getting rid of tails.

All Sonic special stages barring 3&K rely on trial and error. Sonic 2's are most reliant. retard

No, most of the other returning Zones change the layout completely.

>>387270380
Then what did they fix in Complete because I can't see it. Unless you mean the Death Egg falling after you beat Big Arm? That was taken straight from the Sonic and Knuckles intro.

>>387270346
If I'm being honest, yea.
I actually haven't played any sonic game before mania, but I saw the dunkview and decided to get it. At first I hated the UFO stages, but I figured I just had to get used to them because dunkey liked them.

Just try to force yourself to like them and you'll get used to it, trust me I was there.

>>387270257
What the fuck are YOU talking about?

>>387266924
One of my only complaints is the games far too fucking easy.

I only played and beat Sonic 1/2/3 & Knuckles this weekend

>>387270406
Switch drops to 50 on 3D bonus stage only and is 60 everywhere else. Stop lying.

>>387270550
It's just as trial and error as any of the other classic special stages

If 3K's special stages aren't trial and error then neither is the maze from Sonic 1(except for the 3rd emerald stage)

Techically, Sonic was created by Ohshima.

Naka programmed the phyics and mechanics of the classic games while Yasuhara designed the levels themselves. All three of them were important for making Sonic the way it was.

Did you know that Sonic was originally called Mr Needlehouse?

>>387270278
he's really fucking ugly

>>387265289
What do you mean "it alright"

UFO > Half Pipe > 1 Emerald Maze > S&K Continue Maze > Power Up Capsule Machine > Blue Sphere > The white balls thing in S&K I have no idea how to control

I never played CD. We're those ones good?

>>387270672
Repeating yourself over and over isn't going to make this dumb claim any more true.

Everything about S3&K's special stages is designed to be fair. You have way more freedom and options to tackle them/correct yourself and see what's coming ahead relative to before. None of the emerald layouts require prior knowledge to succeed. None. Granted this results in really easy special stages, which is an issue I have with them.

Anyways this tangent is stupid. This conversation was about Sonic 2's special stages requiring the most prior knowledge/trial and error than the others.

>>387270812
You said in Sonic 3 Complete not Sonic 3
So again what got fixed in 3 Complete that was broken in 3&K?

>>387271296
UFO is the worst dunkeyfag

>>387271334
>None of the emerald layouts require prior knowledge to succeed.
This is just as true for the maze in Sonic 1 then

>>387271296
I felt they were good, but the hitboxes were weird.
Somebody once did a fangame where they remade those stages with QOL qualities that were nice and had a secret Fantasy Zone (?) themed stage

>>387270989
to match his unfeeling heart who only wants to see mania team fail to mask his own failures

>>387271296
Maze > Blue Sphere > Half Pipe > CD UFO
Don't mix bonus stage with special stages please

Also still haven't played Mania so not sure how I'll like the special stages there.

Why do Sonic special stages need to change gameplay so much?
The Master System/Gamegear Sonic games kept the standard gameplay, just in gimmick levels.

>>387271351
Holy fuck, you really are an autistic dumbass
Did I really need to type "complete" at the end on my 2nd post for you to understand?
Did I really need to put "corrected and perfected" is quotation marks for your special needs in my first post? Was "autistically" not a good indicator?
I'm talking about, what you refer to as, the prototype level order, but in no way did I indicate that I play said order. You completely missed what I was pointing out because you're clinically retarded.

>>387271580
Because programming a completely different minigame into your game was a fun thing to do back in the day when there were still plenty of concepts yet to be discovered or explored.

>>387271564

Huh, our tastes are identical. Mania's special stages aren't anything, well, special. They're about as infuriating as UFO special stages were in CD.

>>387271452
So? Are you going to argue that Sonic 1's special stages are just as fair as 3&K? Because that's just fuckin wrong

Nah fuck that I actually prefer CD's over 2's maze. Fuck it my opinion changes all the time...sometimes I hate CD's more sometimes I hate 2's more

CD's start out fine but I swear to fuck that after the first 2 stages the last UFO is always almost impossible to hit which pisses me the fuck off.

Mania's look like fun...a sort of algamation of 2's/CD's and 3...I dunno.

>>387272069
I don't think you ever go to Future Stardust Speedway in Mania. Act 1 is the past and Act 2 is the present.

>>387271605
What did they correct?
Because if you don't play it in the prototype order than the transitions are completely identical to the original 3 & Knuckles.

He was a salaryman who helped with level design in S3&K. After that, Yuji Naka was promoted to producer, all the other major pieces got scattered about, and that left Naka to be the Rick Berman to Naka's Gene Roddenberry.

>>387272243
I can know about something without playing it you stupid fuck.

>>387267474
you spend too much time on the air, dude, and also second guessing yourself. And you don't drop dash at all. For example, at 0:55 you could have easily shaved off a second by drop dashing instead of doing your regular spindash. At 1:19 you could have just gone directly to your right.

>>387272243
If you want to count it, fixing Knuckles' intro as well.
Still, that's like two changes total.

>>387272218
I mean, I just assumed Sonic was already in the present, ran past a sign that said Future, and I heard the words "Future" that he was in the Future. But all sorts of time bullshit is happening in this game anyway.

Blue Sphere is fantastic

The special stages are pretty damn fucking hidden. I'm ashamed to say it but I just got to hydrocity zone and only have 1 god damned emerald. I've been scouring levels for those fuckers but I don't know, I just can't seem to find them.

>>387272286
Sometimes I too get lucky and don't have any problem for the first 4-5 stages. It's rare as fuck though.

because makes them stand out as a truly special stages. Is something that dates back to arcades, and allowed the devs to do something that looked spectacular for the time still, I agree that normal gameplay + gimmick stages would be better, but at the same time I love this and CD's special stages backgrounds

Hirokazu is the one who's responsible for most of sonic 1,2,3&K's game design.

Iizuka was like fresh recruit back in the day, having his first experience working in sonic team during Sonic 3. He was far from leading role.

I think The Titanic Monarch Boss is Broken, it keeps Freezing up and just getting stuck in an animation loop
I keep dodging those ghost hand things by getting tails in the way of both of them then they just crystallise and the boss locks up

is there a way to get rid of the fucking piranhas in the underwater levels? The ones that stop you from jumping when they latch on? I can't figure it out, I swear I've tried every button. I can't jump, just move right and left. Always end up just drowning since I can't jump up to get the bubbles.

The regular gameplay looks perfect.

>>387276805
It controls pretty fucking slippery. Once you get to Mach 3, which is usually when you can catch the Emerald, it becomes basically impossible to tightly turn. A large part of these levels are memorizing the UFO's path, as it easily allows you to catch up to it once you're Mach 1 or 2

A general good rule of thumb is to stay on the higher paths and to take your time
If you rush through the stages, you won't find any, and there's a lot more special stages closer to the ceiling of the stage than the bottom

Why the fuck are the blue sphere stages so goddamn big. I've o my managed to successfully complete one of them. It feels like there's an infinite number of blue spheres and it doesn't help that a lot of them don't turn into rings.

this was actually the last one i got the gold because i was being dumb too.

all you have to do is quickly turn to inside the ring part and jump, then when you get all the rings, jump back out, but this time into a blue orb and turn to continue the normal path.

>>387279745
I've game overed a shit ton, especially in regards to the final zone. That shit is merciless. I may be shit at Sonic games though

>>387279654
for instance, Instead of animating sonic do a back flip, they just rotate the whole sprite. Looks like shit. Mario Maker uses this a lot. Also modern shitty sprite games. River City Ransom Underground actually doesnt which is cool.

>>387279654
Rotating a sprite, literally. You would not be able to do this on the SNES/Genesis because of the hardware limitations. You would have to create a frame by frame animation of something spinning in a circle if you wanted it to rotate like that.
However, what many indie games with a pixel artstyle do when they want to rotate something, due to making it in a modern engine they just rotate the sprite. For a good example of this, see Fish from Nuclear Throne's roll ability. For some reason /v/ loves to shit on indie devs for doing this, even though I'm sure the developers of games from that era would have loved being able to just animate a sprite rotating like that.
>>387279839
>IT'S OKAY WHEN WHITEHEAD DOES IT!

>>387279745

Just beating the game seems a smidge easier than the Genesis titles. Getting all the emeralds and gold medals will make Mania much harder, though. Also some of Mania's bosses are a little wonky/bullshit compared to the more simplistic earlier fights.

>>387280093
Rotation was definitely used in the 16 bit era all the time, it just didn't look as shitty because CRT blending and low native resolution. The modern usage of rotation in pixel art sprites is jarring because you have something which is supposed to be a low resolution sprite being rotated at high resolution, confusing the fuck out of your brain.

>>387280412
It's always had a delay. Probably accentuated more by the LED screen latency.

>>387280412
No
It's probably reading turns, you can input left or right before a turn without holding that direction

Fuck off UFO is the best special stage ever, following Sonic 2's as a close second

changes your partner to Knuckles only be used in no save mode

>>387283192
Is there a mode where Sonic can be your partner?

>>387283192
Okay I see. But with that knock knock thing, am I crazy? I saw it for a split second because I was mashing the a button and didn't read it all in time. Did I misread it?

it's the flavor text for the & knuckles mode unlock screen, it's a reference to... you know, his SA theme.

Thanks for helping a poorfag out anon! Finally games for my switch

>>387283618
Well that shit flew right over my head. Thanks for the info.

>>387281637
Where is everyone getting these from? Mania preorders?

>>387281637
The game is so easy emulatable. If you're some kind of moralfag, it's cheap as fuck. Just buy the fucking thing.

How the fuck am I supposed to do this stage? I go through it until I eventually get to a spring sphere that bounces me into reds.

>>387284002
how would you know that's the switch version? it could be the ps4 for all we know.

>>387284071

PS4 owners are too busy with FIFA and Call of Duty.

I wish I didn't open that image earlier.
Oh, well.

>The fun special stage is locked behind hard to find limted giant rings
>The rings stay gone even if you restart the level
>Here's Blue Spheres every fucking checkpoint
What is with classic Sonic autists and Blue Spheres? Was an entire game of them in Sonic 1 & Knuckles not enough? Why is there so much of this shit?

WAROO
WAROO WAROO WAROO

When are you gonna make the Switch, Anon?

>>387265260
It's a lot less reactive than I remember. Inputs feel like they have a delay.

>>387284845

Inputs have always had a delay, it's just more noticable at 60FPS. Also they removed a couple of sneaky jumping bugs so you can't skip red spheres through hax any more.

>being this retarded

>>387284963
It's been years since I've last played Sonic 3, fuck off.

>>387265260
Blue sphere was a mistake

>>387284845
I mean, you're not using a CRT like before, also what's the native res for this game? I'd like to see if it can run at 320x240

>changes your partner to Knuckles only be used in no save mode
