Aquatic Ruins instead of Chemical Plan, i don't think CP is a good representation for Sonic 2 desu, the super speed going on in that zone looks more like something out of Sonic 3's alley which already has 3 stages in, Sonic 2 is at its best on fairly open stages where you can fall from the top path at any time but maintaining the top path is fun as fuck

And I'd be hard pressed to consider Uber Caterkiller as an auto-scroller since only the background is scrolling (and not any stage element that hurts you or forces you forward), so I'm not going to count it. All in all, five bosses that happen to have screen scroll isn't that bad and they each do something different from one another to change things up. It's really not that bad of a deal.

If you actually think Sonic Mania is above 7/10 then I actually feel sorry for you because it must be difficult being that dumb. And no this isn't opinion,it's objective. One day I'll make an 1 hour long video on YouTube where I release all the hard truths about this game because I don't even know where to start when people ask me about this game. I'd end up spending the night typing out endless paragraphs that would go to waste since all the 15 year olds here have no attention span. I've done it before. Well thought out posts that maybe get one or two replies. Why? Because I'm right and people would rather call me autistic and ignore my post than actually present an argument

>>389060709
what is the achievement called?

>>389060817
Professional Hedgehog

>>389060754
Thats your opinion man. Sonic Mania tickles most of my funny places and is a solid 8.5 on my list.

>>389060883
I thought the stipulation for that one was a start to finish run of the game, no save, no game overs, and all emeralds...That's why i'm confused.

Kinda hard to say, a lot of bosses were really cool and surprising like Chem Plant and Metal Sonic, some were fun and some were challenging, all of them were really creative, but I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite and I feel like some might not be as enjoyable on repeat playthroughs. Maybe the final boss or Chem Plant boss.

Unironically. But I don't think that exactly 'counts', so instead I choose:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiHcHazyURg
>Most surprising moment from the game?
Mean Bean and Bean. The Puyo Puyo boss was totally surprising and out of left field, and getting attacked by Bean shocked me just to see him in the game. A lot of the throwback bosses were also pretty cool, to see how they were reworked or to see their new phases. Hydrocity's bosses both surprised me a lot (act 2's surprise being when I got to phase 2).
>What remix zones would you have liked to see instead?
Mystic Cave or Aquatic Ruin instead of Chemical Plant (never really cared for it much and we already had it in Generations), and Angel Island or Launch Base, Mushroom Hill, Quarts Quadrant. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with most remix zones, but I really want to see them take on more brand new zones after seeing what they did with the four they had.

>>389060995
Nope. All achievements that have a zone on it means that that achievement can only be achieved in that zone. In this case Professional Hedgehog can only be gotten in Titanic Monarch Act 1. Simply don't get hit or die until you beat the first act boss. After that the goal post should fall and you unlock the achievement. The best way to do it is with Super Tails due to invincibility and flight.

>>389058031
Why do people dislike Titanic Monarch so much? I just beat the game for the first time earlier today, and I thought Titanic Monarch was pretty good. Act 2 really disorients you spatially since you keep warping back to places you were and it's hard to conceptualize a mental map of the zone until you realize what's going on and that the paths are branching outward from that central point.

King, Heavy Gunner, and Magician were great I think. I think Gunner should have had a final phase that played like the Mushroom Hill boss though. Metal Sonic should have also played like Knuckles' final boss in 3K but I guess king filled that void at the end of Lava Reef w/ knuckles.

I filtered the shit out of /v/ and avoided watching anything Mania related in my Youtube feed. At most I saw a glimpse of a few threads that got through the filters that had OOZ's act 2 boss or PGZ's second act as the OP, but everything else was blind. All the little details, throwbacks, and references in Mania were such a treat, the devs had way too much fun with this game and the love and passion really shows. Chemical Plant's boss had me floored, I was so amazed and couldn't believe what I was playing.

Even with all this (rather petty) shit, it's still one of the best games in the series, only a tiny fraction lower than 3&K, which is still incredibly impressive for a team of fans.

>>389063359
you can grind bluespheres in greenhill pretty easily by going back and forth between checkpoints. I still need to beat that damn 44 sphere one and feel like no experience doing the others helps with it.

as for the 3d one the best tip is just stay close to the ufo. follow its path always even if there's lots of rings or spheres on a divergent path. once I realized that I started to do them more consistent and beat the last one on second try at mach 2

Quite a bit was spoiled for me (like Puyo-Puyo) so I'll have to say the Silver Sonic from the 8-Bit Sonic 2 in Metal Sonic's fight, or Fang, Bean and Bark's cameos.

>What remix zones would you have liked to see instead?
Instead? I don't know about instead, but I'd like to have seen Ice Cap, Hill Top or some stuff from the 8-Bit games, like Underground Zone, Mecha Green Hill, etc.
It would have interesting to see what they could have done with Sonic 3D Blast too.

That sucks man.
Just focus on getting your speed up first: Jumping slows you down significantly, and you'll never make it in mach 1. Then once you hit mach 2, you can start closing the distance between you and the ufo. Keep your ring count up and aim for getting mach 3. Once at mach 3, you can start cutting corners and really catch up.

>>389063916

Oh yeah, what remix zones I would have liked to see instead. Honestly, I think the Mania team did a good job in selecting the old zones. Hard to pick one I would want to see instead. Maybe lava reef swapped out for Scrap Brain.

>>389064121
jumping to turn sharper is actually a good strategy too. just reminded me since you mentioned jumping slows you down.

It's the little things.

>>389063359
My general plan for most special stages is as such:
>Lap 1: focus on collecting as many rings as possible while also getting blue spheres; prioritize ring boxes and large groups to build up time as early as you can. This lap will also help you familiarize yourself with the track.
>Next few laps: getting blue spheres for more speed, getting mach-up boxes if you haven't already, try to collect lots of rings before you hit mach 3 since it's the hardest to control
>Once you hit mach 3: gun it for the UFO as fast as possible, take shortcut jumps, drift hard, get ballsy, if you start lagging behind from a mistake then make up for lost time by getting rings
However specials 5 and 7 didn't work so well with these plans, those two worked best when I just went for speed over all else. Special 5 is by far the hardest stage.

what is supposed to be CD's special ability?

>>389064927

>>389064927
Super Peel Out

at standstill press up+jump


also changes your max speed run animation to the figure 8.

Can't drop dash with it activated though which is kinda lame.


It'd be useless but I'd love to have the peelout activate the way the drop dash does.

>>389064682
Play the classic games first. Start with 2 and 3&K, they're the most solid of the bunch.
After that, try 1 and CD.
Then, give the Adventure Games a go. They're both a little dated, but I'd suggest playing SA2 first.
For boost, start with Colors and Generations. Then try Unleashed if you're okay with beat em ups and QTEs.
Everything else I think is "try it if you're up to the challenge".
I wouldn't suggest 06 unless you want a good laugh and I wouldn't suggest Boom period.

>>389064632
>I know you can drop dash after jumping, but how do I do it?

Experimentation is key. Drop dash is honestly such a useful addition, it really helps with the flow of the game.

>>389062427
what >>389062595 said you fragile PC fag

>>389065053
why couldn't they just assign 1 button for the drop dash, 1 button for the shield spin thing from S3, and have peel-out available?

Yeah, I swear the classic games gave you a bit more space before you could get killed by a diagonal crush.

I'd add the first Sonic Advance to the list but it doesn't really matter where or when it'd go

>>389065239
3&K are basically just one whole game and I'd suggest playing the Complete Rom hack.

I know I mashed all three face buttons to charge the spindash faster

>>389065138
I guess it was just the fact that I never had to hold the jump button in like any Sonic game before. The same concept gave me trouble for the first minute or so of Press Garden Act 1 since I thought I had to jump at the right time in order to bounce off the conveyors.

>>389065351
So sonic 3,3andk and sonic and k are 3 different games?

>>389065006

Press garden felt like a mashup of two different stage ideas that for whatever reason they couldn't get another stage out of. In general it felt like the devs were trying to cover as much ground as possible with the 4 stages they had to add.

They were once one game that got split into two.
"Sonic 3 & Knuckles" is the combination of both games, contains all the levels and has several extra bonuses, like a whole new set of Emeralds.

>>389065238
You wouldn't even need more than one button.
>Insta-shield: press A while jumping (double tap)
>Drop dash: hold A while jumping, or hold down+A
>Super peel-out: hold up+A while standing still
The fact that these are three different modes for no-save runs only and that you can't play with all three of them is kinda lame.

>>389065473
Sonic 3, and Sonic and Knuckles are the first and second half of Sonic 3 and Knuckles respectively.

It's really not recommended to play them separately, as 3 doesn't have playable Knuckles, S&K doesn't have playable Tails nor a save mode, and neither have the Super Emeralds.

>>389065506
Ok thanks, and what is sonic 3 complete?

>>389065473
Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were developed as one game, but then split in two.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles combines them back into one game.

>>389065478

lIzuka wanted to sabotage the Mania team and told them to add in an ice stage after they finished making press garden.

Sonic 3 was released first. After that, Sonic and Knuckles was released, a cartridge which allowed you to lock on another cartridge on top of it. If you locked Sonic 3 on top of it, it'd combine all stages from both games, as well as allowing you to play all the characters in both games (Sonic 3 had Sonic and Tails, Sonic & Knuckles had Sonic and Knuckles, S3K has all 3). Also, Sonic 3 has save files, while S&K doesn't. S3K does have save files though.

It's commonly stated that S3K was always supposed to be one entire game, but was split into 2 because of time constraints and cartridge space.

In any case, just download "Sonic 3 Complete", it's S3K with a bunch of fixes and improvements, as well as optional fluff that you can turn on/change if you want to.

Bonus information: if you lock on Sonic 2 on S&K cartridge, you can play as Knuckles in Sonic 2

>implying we'll get DLC
>implying a Sonic Mania & Knuckles Chaotix wouldn't be a better expansion pack anyways

>>389065682
Sonic 3 Complete is a fan-mod that takes Sonic 3 & Knuckles, fixes a couple of minor issues and lets you change things that only fans really care about, like zones orders, a missing boss, some changed incidental music tracks and things like that.

It's not essential unless you already know S3&K inside and out.

>>389065473
Sonic 3 is a game, it has six stages, one gumball machined checkpoint bonus stage and 7 blue spheres special stages for chaos emeralds. Playable characters are Sonic, Tails, and Sonic & Tails together.

Later the same year, Sonic & Knuckles came out. it had 7 stages, two checkpoint bonus stages, and its own set of 7 blue sphere special stages. Playable characters are Sonic or Knuckles, the game has o save feature.

When you physically connected the cartriges you played through the Sonic 3 stages first and progressed directly to the Sonic and Knuckles stages. So Sonic 3's final boss is replaced with a stage transition.


Playable characters are Sonic, Tails, Sonic & Tails, and Knuckles, which means you could play Knuckles through the Sonic 3 stages, where almost all of them have unique routes just for him, and you can play Tails in the Sonic & Knuckles stages.

With 14 special stages, you could collect the 7 emeralds and then the 7 super emeralds to turn hyper in addition to being able to go super with the original 7.

Probably because Tails always fucked up the half-pipe bonus stages by not dodging bombs.

>>389066394

Half pipes are too fast, and Tails can lose Rings if he gets hit, so it's only feasible to play as Sonic alone. Overall I think blue sphere is better designed.

I dislike the half-pipes because for one they're overused and second of all they're essentially auto-scrollers to me. Sure you have to get the rings, dodge bombs & take advantage of how the physics work while you're on the ramps but you can't do this at your own pace at all, you'll always finish at the same exact set time and I hate that part of it, at least with Blue Spheres you can go on the outer sides of the spheres to turn them into rings & you can take your own path to shorten things. Hell the CD UFOs & Blue Spheres are even better than the half-pipe to me since if you get good at those they can be done really quickly quickly.

It straight up doesn't matter because they kept the story minimal and on the back burner like it should be in a Sonic game and there is no reason to get autismal about it unless it ushers in voice overs and lumps of cut scenes and text in the next game.

Real final boss was boring

>>389070024
Pretty much this. Personally I even like the idea of trying to connect the stories in this way, since it implies that both Modern and Classic Sonic can co-exist in different series of games. We're just in an awkward position where Sega is trying to get back from Boom's reputation.

I like how they made it so easy to use Tails to carry Sonic while flying without needing a second controller.

That sounds so retarded even for Sega standards.
If that happens somehow though, Modern would play like in Rush/Colors DS and would be a separate character from Tails and Knuckles, I suppose.

>>389070884
This was so much better done than what they did in Sonic Heroes, Sonic Advance 3 and Sonic 4: Ep 2.

He's the Boba Fett of the Sonic franchise. His first major battle ends with him jobbing in a lack luster race. It took a bunch of room hackers to finally give him a decent boss fight to live up to his overrated reputation.

Advance Era Dimps is when they were at their best.

Quit trying to fit in and shit on their previous entries just because the new ones are terrible. Following your shitty logic, IGN is right with their Sonic was never good statement.

You clearly have no ability to think for yourself. I've already done the thinking for you and recommend that you kill yourself. You're such a good lapdog that you'll probably do it too.

>>389072616
No, it doesn't.

>>389072428
Pocket Adventure was awesome.
Advance 1 was decent.
Everything after that went downhill. You are the kind of autist that would play anything that has "Sonic" in its name. You should be the one who should kill yourself.

Is Mania 2 still possible with the denuvo drama?

Titanic Monarch is the best final stage in all of classic Sonic by virtue of not being a minefield of shit you have to slog through. There's still a lot of traps and hazards but the level design keeps the pace up and actually plays with the physics in a way to help and trap you. Scrap Brain is a slog, the Death Egg in Sonic 2 is just a 2 stage boss. Really it just has to go up against Launch Base which was never intended as a final stage and S&K's Death Egg.

It only fails at the boss at Act 2. It was neat, but you could miss the heavies and the fight didn't escalate.

I fucking love the fact that studiopolis' vans make the SFX from sonic Spinball. That was a really nice touch.

>The alarm that sounds after beating the final boss is the bird-spawning alarm from Launch Base
Neat

>>389073839
I liked that it was a legitimately confusing stage. The first few times you go through the warps, you end up in a different location, so if you get into a loop, you might not notice until the third or fourth time around. That and the fact that bumpers constantly push you all around to make you miss ledges and ways to get yourself straight.

>Bumpers send you flying towards a wall of spikes
>Oh shit
>Spring appears out of the floor just before you hit the spikes sending you the other way

Robotnik is a madman and must love making Sonic panic.
