This shit is fucking cancer.

Awww what's wrong widdle baby can't beat Sonic?

>>389555324
why.xml?

>can't beat a simple boss

I lost first attempt since I wasn't used to it, but I'm not sure how, I must've lucked out on second attempt.

>lol just spin dash out of the water and hit multiple times on machine through the top while the rockets aren't moving

I got out of that shit laughing my ass.

Metal Sonic was more of a case of "hurr didn't know I had to do THAT" regarding the little bots (spin against them to break Metal Sonic's device (?). Octopus seems legitimately the first hard boss I've encountered that doesn't overly rely on "hurr you need to do dis to win" since you still need to dodge bullets (if you're not a armor fag by then) and I hear even that's easy in a certain way.

Are you a reviewer?

>>389555994
Sonic's act 1 was a mistake.

>>389555994

This was one of those moments where I thought I'd have better luck if I took advantage of that leap in order to hit its head. Turns out it's better to just wait and dodge for it to come horizontally then hit it in the head. It might take longer, but it's better than making a fool of yourself.

>>389555994
did this first try but got reckless and spin dashed and jumped shortly and managed to fall down and die

>>389556415
It had potential, but was still fun. I would have preferred if the train section was maybe 2-3 times as long and you fought a variation of boss on the engine instead of the current boss on the plane, but it's still a neat concept.

>>389555324
>Commander Anon. T. Sagerut can't process colors correctly

>>389556591

lel I didn't even know it was possible to fall off the plane. I never fell once, so I just assumed the planes' wings would be under you at all times.

the boss fights really are the worst part of this game

>can speed through most acts in 2 minutes
>boss fights are 4 minutes long

I want to play SONIC THE HEDGEHOG not sonic the boss killer

It's literally easier than the Sonic 3 version of the same boss.

>>389555994

why are brainlets playing sonic
did you all fall for the hype or something

>>389555994
That boss looks like shit.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who did this too. Except it took me much less time to figure it out.

>>389556651
Me too. The train was the biggest tease, especially with how smug Eggman is driving it. I also like the little detail of some of the carts having OOZ stamped on the side hinting at Oil Ocean before you know that's the nest zone.

>LITERALLY the Sonic 3 miniboss with a bigger hitbox

The levels are wonderful but fuck me if these bosses aren't tedious.

>>389557142
It felt too easy spin dashing into them. Juggling the little guys was more rewarding.

>>389557410
*sigh*

you ever think of the fact that not everybody played sonic 3 you fucking nigger? for a lot of us sonic mania is our first sonic game -_-

just shut the fuck up nigger

>>389557581
ye u go gurl, tell em! ^_^

>>389557410
Sonic 3's version was easier because the water was lower.

>>389555994
I just hate that level in general. It's bullshit that Knuckles gets a totally better stage while Sonic and Tails are stuck fucking around on that plane. Fun distraction in Sonic 2 but did not need to return. You can't even time trial the first act as Sonic or Tails if you wanted to actually play it with them.

>>389556891

No they dont

>>389555994
The trick is to hold down after you jump attack it so your in spin dash mode and negates the damage from the rest of the body, it helps alot since moving around on the plain to avoid shit sucks.

>>389556891
While most bosses should never really take you that long, the length of acts feel so disproportional to the progress being made. Some acts can be rushed in like 2 minutes casually, while others can take like 6 minutes. There's no natural progression of complexity or difficulty. Feels kind of a cluster fuck in that regard, but I guess it makes sense with the greatest hits thing it's going for.

Literally the best boss in the game

wrong

>>389558378
Compare your image with OP's. The central pillar is higher up as is the water level.

>>389558523
Maybe, but the mania version lands on the pillar a lot faster than the 3 version. The 3 one moves a lot more.

I waited for the pirate, and honestly I'm glad I did. Sanic was my childhood. I beat every game, even the bad ones, but playing this game did not bring back any good memories for me. I was only reminded of the things that irritated me about the first three Sanic games & Knuckles.

Sonic really is dead. I doubt Forces will do much to bring it back.

>>389559056
Too bad we'll never have another Sonic adventure game. I'm really tired of having to go back to 2 just to raise Chao.

>>389559031

wh

what the fuck happened there?

>>389559171
>inb4 "it was '06"

'06 somehow managed to lack the quality of two dreamcast games.

Fuck water levels.

>>389559031
This happened to me so many times. I hate Ocean Oil.

>>389559213
If you're standing on the platforms as it goes down it's an insta death.

>>389559213
Sometimes if you fall into the oil too fast, the game bugs and makes you fall through it

>>389559031
>built up 12 live before this boss
>finished it with 3
Delayed for bug testing my arse.

>>389560152

It's intentional.

>>389559213
2 extra weeks were spent making sure the PC version of Sonic Mania is 100% bug-free

>stupid baby can't beat a fucking washing machine

>>389559031
When the octopus grabs the platforms and take them down, it's a OneShot if you're on it.
After your hit, you fell on it.

>>389559031
This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. It took the most annoying parts of classic gaming and made them worse. Glad I didn't pay $20 for this romhack. I'll go emulate the genesis games if I'm feeling nostalgic. Mania has nothing to offer that they didn't already bring to the table.

>>389555324
It's easy as Sonic. Now doing as Knuckles with a lower jump height, now that's a bitch. Having to spin-dash up the walls to gain height slows the boss down to a fucking crawl. Hell most of Knuckles's boss fights are cancer because they're not designed around the lower jump height.

>>389559031
Most of my deaths in this game are like this. I rarely die to an enemy or because I got hit with 0 rings, I die because of retarded bullshit like the stage crushing me by 1 pixel

>>389559031
Yeah this boss was bullshit

I also remember a time I dodged a lazor by ducking but cause the tail end of it's massive hitbox after standing up and died.
