Yo, so apparently there are these new Purple Rings found?

So I just completed my first save file, Sonic & Tails, 7 emeralds collected and true final boss defeated. Before I move on to beating the game with the other characters, I thought I'd turn my attention to dear old Blue Sphere. Sadly beating the game didn't unlock a level select for that (apparently you only get it from beating all the Blue Sphere stages, for some godforsaken reason). So, questions:

Does beating a Blue Sphere stage remove it from the rotation for that save file? My guess is no, since I swear I encountered some a second time during my playthrough even after perfecting them.

Regardless of the answer to the previous question, is there a way to manipulate which Blue Sphere you're going to enter from the checkpoint pole?

>>388275959
cute

Guys I don't understand the transition from Metallic Madness 1 to Metallic Madness 2
Why does it suddenly turn Present despite it being Past before?

>>388277434
You have to essentially GOLD or not a blue sphere stage. Otherwise you have to get atleast all medals silver to make all the silver gold!

>>388277593
>>388277615
They only seem to appear if you have the emeralds already, it works like the normal Big Rings except you play the stages in reverse order, you get all the emeralds again but you keep the ability to turn Super and it says "Sonic can now be Super Sonic" after every emerald you get
Not sure what you get once you have all 7 Extra Emeralds

>>388277531
What? I know the game makes a distinction between beating a stage (silver) and perfecting it (gold) and that the latter is obviously better, but other than that I don't understand what you're trying to say.

>>388277903
When you play a blue spheres stage and complete it. It gets taken off the rotation untill you do ALL OF THEM. So go for golds first time round !

>>388278006
does getting all the golds do anything?

>>388277857
GO NORTH MY WAYWARD SON, GO GET THEM ALL

>>388278105
Only gives trophies/Achieves/Street cred.
Just go for silver if you want debug and other stuff!

>>388278006
So the stages ARE taken off the rotation when you beat them? I guess there's a lot of repeated elements in them, then.

Why the fuck are people so gullible. Hot damn.

The guy's being vague as fuck, the game's been out a week, and everyone and their mothers have already combed over the stages with debug mode.

There's no mention of special purple rings outside of this site, and the cunt's being unnecessarily vague when everybody's first choice upon such a discovery would be to share the fuck out of the exact details.

you're getting amazed at literally photoshop

>>388278218

I've been playing the levels normally haven't found a single one in GHZ. anon here is doing debug mode though, or using a no save file so don't take my words for granted.

Post picture of the screen with timestamp

This makes no sense.

So you said you need to have all the emeralds collected in order for the purple rings to appear. BUT in debug mode which you're using alongside & Knuckles mode are no save file only.

Meaning you can't have found one. As Green Hill Zone does not have enough special stages alone to get you all the emeralds and there's no way for you to get back to GHZ as the game doesn't keep your save afterwards.

So the Purple Ring thing is probably fake desu

>>388275186
Sonic Mania is the comeback of the vidya century so I hope Forces manages to at least be decent like Generations. Sonic's best entries haven't been regarded as anything more than steps in the right direction for so long that this warm reception is warping my brain.

>>388276668
It's probably that way because Sonic is an anthropomorphic critter, and Japan could care less about furries.
If Sonic was a cutesy chink style anime boy with hedgehog ears and spiky hair, he'd probably be more popular in Japan.

>>388280865
Considering that one of the locations he posted is impossible to get to without Debug, you probably need to get the emeralds by spawning the big rings.

>>388280996

I have a question for you guys:
Do you honesty and sincerely think that Tee's song remixes on the game are the definitive versions of each respective song?

>>388281191
yeah honestly, save for Stardust Speedway 1, 2, and Boss (my autism wants the huehues for the first two and i'm not a fan of the boss theme)

yep I agree with you

>>388281191
Yes. Especially Stardust Speedway boss. Definitive version of SS. No other can possibly top it.

>>388281191
Yeah, especially the Lava Reef songs

>>388281191
Yeah

>>388281191
Pretty much, Metallic Madness comes to mind in particular.

>>388281316
Stardust Speedway still has a bunch of incomprehensible HUES for act 1 and act 2 is so good it makes up for the lack of them.

>>388281191
Eh, I think they're fine mixes, but aside from Lava Reef 2 sounding way better than I remember Hidden Sanctuary ever sounding in S3&K, they don't necessarily replace the originals for me. The all-original tracks are the real highlights.

If you're playing as Sonic do you prefer having Tails follow you or not? I noticed most people I've seen play go for Tails following you but I much prefer Sonic alone.

>>388281694
Personally I think the old HUES sound kind of out of place in that video, the new ones fit the slower R&B style of the remix more.

no, new songs are pretty good thou

>>388281191
For the most part. I prefer Flying Battery Act 2 in the original over the Mania remix though. Although the opposite is true for Act 1, I fucking love Mania's version of Act 1. Also CD's soundtrack will forever be godlike so I can't say Tee's are better, only equal.

So from those who've played it that have also been fans and played the classic sanic games, is Mania worth the $20? Does it live up to the hype? I've been holding off partly because the PC version got delayed and I was thinking of just getting the PS4 one, but 3&K is still in like my top 3 vidya ever so it has a lot to live up to in my eyes.

>>388281870
i suppose, but taking away what i think is the main bit of Stardust Speedway was a bit jarring
it's like listening to, say, Green Hill Zone except the chorus of it is omitted

>>388275186

Phantom King is a shitty final boss. It's literally just suicide rushing and waiting for rings.

>>388279278

Mania is equal if not better than 3&K.
>is Mania worth the $20?
Fucking yes.
>Does it live up to the hype?
In my opinion, yes, even though it's kind of disappointing in some aspects like having 8 reimagined zones and 4 new and the fact that there's no transition cutscene on every level.
Buy it now, on every platform, and make you sure it's the Collector's Edition on every single one of them. What are you waiting for?

>>388282046
If you love 3&K, Mania is 100% worth the $20. It's basically more of that.
and I actually think it has the best level design in the series

From my experience, eventually the beaten blue sphere stages are taken out of rotation, and then after all are beaten only the stages without gold medals are in rotation. At one point in a play-through I was cycling between only two stages

I would pay $40 for it. It is quite literally classic Sonic plucked right out of the mid 90's.

I feel like all this game is really missing is a procedurally-generated special stage mode. As an autist who really enjoyed Sonic R (or at least the concept of a weird adventure-racer hybrid), I haven't had enough of the special stages

2) Tail Attack (just Jump)
3) 2 Orbs attacks with little bullets (Focus on this, then the boss will be helpless)
4) Platform Downthrow (Instant death, Don't stay on the platform once he grabs it)

Generally people die at
3) because they want to attack quickly the boss when he's out of the oil.
4) because they don't know about the insta-death

Attempt to give him more personality than just 'kid who admires Sonic'? They did already start with the boy genius thing way back in Adventure, but clearly that's not enough.

I didn't say I was stuck on it, my dude. I got it down eventually.

I want to play this. The original games are some of my favorite video games ever.

I need to play them again too. It's been a long time since I've touched any of them. I've played 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles. I actually don't think I've ever played through 3&K and I've never played CD at all.

a'ight real talk, how long does sonic mania take? not 'oh btw you can replay it as all these other characters, so it's really 5 times as long!'. just sonic. and does it have save states?

>>388285323
2-4 hours depending on how fast you go through the levels.

If you need those for a fucking classic Sonic game I think you have bigger problems kiddo.

>>388284821
I hear someone saying "you a nigger? Don't be scared"
It had to be my dick 'cause my ass wasn't there

>>388285323
It has no save states and the average length for a run is about 4-5 hours, accounting for you looking for the emeralds and not being a scrub or using a guide. If you don't like that then fuck you basically.

>Still set on one-button activation
>can fuck you up during sections where you need to glide
>Super music, while good, is still really annoying
>The amount of big rings in early levels, in comparison to the length of the entire game, makes it so that you could get Super real early and make the rest of the game basically trivial
That last part bugs me, there's only 7 emeralds for 24 levels, makes me wish that Iizuka would let them use the Super Emeralds

Lava Reef act 2's probably the one that truly, utterly overwrites the original. It's amazing.
I don't like Hydrocity's remixes that much, they're basically the same songs but they seem to lack something.
GHZ's remix is okay, same song but vaguely better.
Oil Ocean is loads better.
I love the new Stardust Speedway songs a bunch, but they sure as hell aren't the definitive ones. Same with Metallic madness.
Flying Battery act 2 is a bit eh. Act 1 is definitely better than the original though.

>>388282091
it's really disappointing and I actually dunno why they did this
even if we've had basically Doomsday like 3-4 times already (S&K, Sonic Advance 2, arguably Sonic Advance 3, Sonic Rush), another one of those would have been loads better

They made the right choice. The original Hydrocity Act 1 is pretty dull, so if they absolutely had to have a slow obnoxious water level with mechanics from other slow obnoxious water levels, it was better to put them in there than ruin Act 2, which is already as crazy in Sonic 3 as most of Mania's remixed Act 2s and didn't need anything added.

It kind of bugs me that Sonic no longer slides down the waterslides though - he just runs normally.

I got this game for less than 20 bucks and it's at least worth 30 bucks. INSANE value it's basically a full sonic game for 20. If you're new it's a steal and if you're a returning fan the older stages have so much callbacks and Easter eggs so I feel like it's worth it either way.

THERE. IS. ONLY. ONE. SONIC.

anon. you're supposed to be using the single digits. only the first 10 numbers. 00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09.
2017 would be 02 00 01 07

I hope the Utopia team is brought in to work on Adventure 3.

I destroyed 10 capsules in debug and went to the future post without going to the boss. nothing. I did sparkle though so that was nice.

I never understood the vanilla way to play 2d Sonic games. Do you just go fast to the finish flag ASAP? Or do you take the time to explore the level somewhat and get rings and stuff? Or are you supposed to take a different path each time to maximize replay-ability/find cool shit.

that's the beauty of it you can play every single one of those ways and it's up to you on what you want to do. you can tackle the classic games in so many ways

>I don't get what the hell the point or punch line of that comic is supposed to be
me neither, but it's probably because of how interconnected the issues were. I probably shouldn't have tried digging these up, but now I'm already knee-deep in the newgrounds level retardation of it all so what the hell

>>388300406
Thats funny, that waiting room had to lock the rings to the ceiling so sonic couldn't take them and run.

>>388296898

CD is between Sonic 1 and 2 as it was originally developed to be. Why the fuck do people get so confused about this?

>>388300348
crt soft is better

>>388300534
Knuckles put the master emerald on the sewer cap, sweets have water in them, if you're autistic you probably think sewer caps act the same way as fire hydrants

>>388300852
if it's between 1 and 2 why does silver sonic, a massively inferior version of both metal and mecha sonic, exist? I can understand mecha being a thing since it's built more like a powerhouse than metal was built for speed, but silver sonic is a bloody joke. imo it makes more sense to put CD between 2 and 3, with tails being left out since he pretty much just met sonic and didn't feel like crossing the damn globe to look at little planet pop over a lake or something

>>388300202
someone in the last thread claiming to be one of the developers said that breaking all 10 capsules as well as doing "other things" in Stardust Speedway will unlock some secret thing

>>388301121
someone else said it in a thread a week before that although without the"extra things" that needed to be done.

I have a 1080p tv and not a 720p or a 4K set. I don’t have the pixel count for perfect 3X or 9X integer scale sadly, so I go with clean.

alright so i finally got the good future in stardust speedway.
appearently in act 1 after you get the 10 capsules. you have to initiate super sonic and defeat the red plant monsters the spawn in when the vines grow.

Is this the only game (in general, not only Sonic) that /v/ agrees it's good?

The Metallic Madness remix is a legit 10/10.

>>388301008
silver sonic is not an autonomous robot, it's a toy for eggman.
Metal sonic is probably undergoing repairs during 2, and during 3 eggman is busy with the whole "death egg is crash landed" to finish repairing metal (which might still be on little planet), therefore he produces on the spot a new version that is mecha sonic

>>388302060
Pretty sure most agreed on that.
