but, I like stardust speedyway, anon.
> literally everything you said is the exact opposite of how it actually is.
>>389010897
I do too, well act 1 only.
nah, worst is act 1 of mirage saloon. at least for sonic and tails. haven't played as knuckles yet
That's not Sonic's Mirage Saloon act 1
>>389010649
>not Mirage Saloon Act 1 as Sonic/Tails
>>389010649
Once you mastered your favorite route, Act 2 is GOD tier. Peons like you should fuck off and learn.
>>389011062
>haven't played as knuckles yet
You're in for a treat, Mirage Saloon Act 1K is one of the best levels in the game
YEEEEEEHAAAAAAW
>>389011157
That's a good level.
>>389010649
the whole stage sucks, boss is awful
>>389010649
How many alternate bosses are there?
I only fought the one knuckles fights in the emerald room
>>389011062
Kind of wish all levels where designed for Knuckles like Mirage Saloon Act 1, it really is great
>>389010649
YUHR HUHR
No it isn't, OP. There's no terrible zones in Mania though the only one I'd call a bit boring is Oil Ocean.
>>389010649
*gives you twelve game overs*
>>389011062
best song though
>>389010649
>forgetable soundtrack
Oooohhhh fucking fight me my dude
for me, it was flying battery zone.
It didn't seem like a standout zone worth revisiting honestly, and it drags on for ages.
Spider boss was a pain to figure out, too. Like I knew i had to knock it into the spikes and fling myself into it to do so, but then it's picky about how low it can be before it actually takes damage.
Metal sonic and chrome sonic was kind of annoying but it's actually really quick to beat once you figure out you can just roll into chrome sonic every time and every other time itll damage metal sonic.
>>389011445
Really? I thought Oil Ocean was pretty neat. Burning shit was awesome, although the boss was annoying.
>>389011472
>getting game overs
how fucking casual do you have to be?
>Knuckles & Knuckles true ending run is completely bugged on PC and always leads to a soft lock black screen trying to get to Egg Reverie
Sort your shit out, Whitehead.
>>389010649
Chemical plant zone is the worst
too many random crush deaths
>>389011587
I was never a fan of it anyway in Sonic 2 but I did like Act 2 more then Act 1 with all the smog and better music.
>>389011472
The only game over I got in Mania was because of the Oil Ocean 2 boss because I had this weird thing keep happening where Knuckles would instantly sink through the oil sometimes
>>389011623
I have no clue anon I guess only a cripple chan poster could manage to die twelve times in a single zone.
>There's someone out there that thinks that Titanic Monarch is a bad zone
>>389011472
>getting game overs
Jesus christ anon. I have never beaten a Sonic game before and even I beat Oil Ocean in Mania without getting a game over. How do you only have four lives this far into the game?
>>389012154
Anon I was making a reference to the guy who got the game early. He was so bad he kept dying to the boss in Oil Ocean. Although I will admit Act 2's pollution effect gets annoying after a while.
Metallic Madness is surprisingly my favorite zone in the game, despite hating it in Sonic CD
>fun gimicks
>that music
>>389012527
do we have a twitch archive of the leaker? I avoided the streams like the plague, but still heard people audibly laughing at his poor performance and now I wanna see what I missed
>>389012527
I still can't believe Mark got a game over fucking twelve times on Oil Ocean. If I actually watched the stream I probably would've gotten an aneurysm watching him.
>>389012678
this is the guys attempt where he actually made it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RkMv3cJ2rs
I wish I could find his fails but the original stream was on some shitty Russian streaming site that would barely cooperate.
>>389010649
What exactly did you expect from a CD stage?
Consistency and good level design?
If you did you never played CD.
>>389010649
Stardust Speedway is shit, but that's only because it's designed like a Sonic CD level.
