I just finished that. Metal Sonic and the music-city should've been the final level. It's my favourite level and boss so far.

1 > 2 = CD

>>388492848
>>388492932
Wrong

>>388492945
>1 above anything
Yikes
>>388492932
I agree with you. Mainly because after 20 something years I'm a little sick of 3K.

>>388493060
1 is the best in terms of enemy placement, AI, and level design. Not great level aesthetic at times, but it exceeds in these more than the others.

name 1 thing that is good about this stupid fucking game of all the sonic games

>Less then two days for the PC release
Feels like I've been waiting for an eternity

>>388493162
>level design
But only 2 levels are any good. And no the second good zone isn't Starlight. That shit's over in 20 seconds.

>>388492812
It's the best game and also the most cinematic. So true.

>>388492848
because CD is the contrarian choice

And to follow up fuck the idiot who designed these boring ass segments in Spring Yard. Thankfully some are skippable on the high path, but jesus christ just doing this once is grating.

nah just 1 thing in general that is good or fun about the game. I can't get my head around this being someone favorite sonic game, it sucks so much to play.

>>388493573
How do you not die when you get near the center and the jumping balls hurl you directly to a red ball?

>>388493573
This is actually in Mania though. And it's fucking infuriating.

>>388493945
My example is the beginning of act 1 and isn't skippable. While I'm not fond of Sonic 1 in general and hate those segments I really honestly do like Spring Yard.

>>388494210
You can go high enough from the first halfpipe with the spring in the middle to go over the level and skip the first column section

>>388494064
you spiral inwards, constantly jumping over bumpers while trying to not miss a sphere

fucking crazy difficult when it speeds up

>>388494129
yeah i know, but there's really not a map for mania stages so i just posted the one that it was copied from

>>388494050
Not him but I'm playing it right now and I'm at casino park as team sonic, it's not too bad so far

>>388494050
Ok, then I'll say the level design since it's full of exhilarating and memorable setpieces that still requires some input on the player's end unlike in boost games.

Kick jumping with a Rocket Accel boost is fun too.

>>388494281
I'm trying that right now to confirm. Unless the taxman remake added a bumper in the way of that pipe I can't quite get it.

https://youtu.be/nSE1QqYe9rA

>>388494454
I always go for the speed shoes + life combo that you can get from the first red spring curve. Probably gives me enough speed as well to do it.

>>388494367
Oh you're NOT supposed to hit the bumper. I see.

How do you make that last jump, though? By the time you jump the last bumper you'll already be at maximum speed and the jump will go way over two spheres.

This was the last blue sphere stage I had to complete in Mania and it damn near made me throw my controller at my TV.

>>388494557
Holy fuck that worked. I still don't like 1 that much, but you've increased my liking of Spring Yard so thanks for that.

>>388494571
you need to time your jump stupidly precisely to get both spheres AND have the reaction time to make the last few turns

thankfully perfecting it takes the same amount of timing so i NEVER have to do this stage ever again

I don't know about you guys, but Mania was fucking gucci. The endings sucked though. And I got over the last level gimmick.

Does Sonic Mania have the same problem as Sonic 1 and 2 have where you can't control Sonic if you happen to be in ball form as you hit a wall or an obstacle?

>>388494571
you jump early then turn

>>388494625
Sonic 1 and 2 are difficult, though pretty fun most of the time.
Chaos and Triple Trouble are easier though a bit more meh but have some good level themes.
Blast is janky and not good.

>>388494752
No probs.

>>388494808
yup. Don't worry though. It's not that big of a deal.

Also sonic's ability in this game is while jumping, you press jump again and spin dash in the air, but only if you leave the jump button press when you land. So you can get over that wall bump bs quickly by jumping and air dash

>>388494869
I can clear 1 with few problems but the farthest I've ever made it in 2 was that water place. Triple Trouble is my favorite out of them I'd say

>>388494402
I hate boost level design more than this I agree, but the finicky control in the adventure games was always pretty bad and it shows a lot in this game. Its fun to fuck around for exploit but that doesnt make it a good. The levels are way too long and fighting enemies is a bore.

>>388494967
Ok.
Too bad because sometimes it ruins the pace so bad I have to restart the map.
Trying to get below 23 seconds on Green Hill Zone.
Currently timed at 00'23'23

>>388494625
i only like 1 on 2 on master system i find them very good, have awesome music too, i liked that the emeralds were in the stages so i have to find them and they are short so its nice just to play for 20 mins

>>388493229
Sonic Heroes is like the guiltiest of pleasures of mine.
WOAH LOOK AT ALL THOSE EGGMANS ROBOTS

Are speed shoes rare?

>>388495349
They're like semi-common? I never get them though because Sonic goes too fast with them.

The whole downside of rolling is that you sacrifice your natural acceleration for terrain-assisted speed.

This is why the super peel-out exists.

>>388497396
You've already waited one and 3/4 weeks. One more day ain't gonna kill you.

I just installed that Sonic Adventure 1 PC mod that gives it proper widescreen and changes the models and levels to look like the Dreamcast version.
Did a full playthrough of Sonic's story and I have to say that it was very good.
If only Sega had put in that much effort instead of just throwing up the port they had made almost 10 years beforehand onto Steam with no substantial changes.

>>388497559
>The whole downside of rolling is that you sacrifice your natural acceleration for terrain-assisted speed.

You can just short hop back into a running stance. Short hopping down a shill will put you back to a running position, avoid the air drag that occurs if you jump too high, and if you jump at the right angle, actually put you at a much faster speed and maintain that speed than rolling or naturally running.

In short, super peel out is pointless.

>>388497082
Thanks it's a really common error, don't even get me started on effect/affect

>>388498067
I must be retarded because affect/effect still fucks me up. It's the onle one that does - I'm fine with a/an, their/they're/there, than/then etc.

>>388497949
I think SA1 controls really nicely. I love spin dashing everywhere.

>>388497949
Can you link the mods?

>>388497559
It's not about peel out or any of that.
It's the game that strips you of the normal working air control.

jump, point left or right and he'll go in those directions.
But this glitch makes it so no inputs are registered after you hit the obstacle.
There's a similar problem at the lower spikes in Sonic 2's Emerald Hill zone.
Where you are stuck in the ball mode, slowly rolling, not able to jump or control at all until the spikes rise again and hurt you out of the control lock.

Does anyone else seem to have an issue when playing 3&K where when you come up to a curve on a long speed section you kind of just nudge against the curve and stop all speed instead of just speeding up the curve? It's so annoying. One time it happens basically 80% of the time is this curve in Hydrocity Act 1 in the route you get to from the fans and hanging things near the start. Go down the slope, through the loop-de-loop, through a small pipe, then nudge up against the slope instead of just going up it.

do you guys think mania will get updated to have complete stage transitions?

its making me wonder if the final level selection we got might have been rushed. or maybe sega wanted to cut some content for dlc/mania 2.

>>388492770
Someday Sonic will be out for PC

>>388499173
yea dunno how to trigger it thou just happens

>>388499513
I'm hoping the PC version comes with at least all the bugfixes promised.

>>388493229
Goddamn Heroes was so, so close to transcending good for a 3D Sonic, and actually being a good game.

>>388499725
The only bug they're fixing is its lack of denuvo.
