No idea, this might be a special case because it's something recognizable though.

Like I haven't seen the boss but I *instantly* knew what the sound effects were from as well as the song and now I'm laughing like a psychopath

He did, but he was a /pol/ reject who kept throwing slurs around while being amazingly poo poo at the game, so you didn't miss much.

Uhhh I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

That said, I always thought it would be amazing if there was a Sonic game where Alex Kidd was the villain, because he has a grudge for being replaced as sega's mascot

One theory I had in my head for years was after Sega fired Alex Kidd, he got very depressed, got very fat and lost his hair and that's why Eggman hates sonic so much

Well SegaGaGa exists so we know that Alex has been a register slave at a grocery store since 1989.

There hasn't been a Shinobi since the ps2 one, and the shinobis on the genesis were great.

Yeah. But I always thought they should really make a Sonic game where Alex Kidd is the villain because come on, you can't tell me he doesn't have any hard feelings towards Sonic. That would be the best mic drop plot twist in a sonic game ever

I couldn't resist and watched the footage of Stardust Speedway Act 1, beginning to end.

IT IS INCREDIBLE BEYOND BELIEF and the trailer doesn't even begin to do it justice.



DO NOT CLICK SPOILER BELOW (not storywise, not boss, general spoiler but STILL A SPOILER, BE WARNED)

WARNING WARNING WARNING DANGER ZONE BELOW

Whitehead mixed several elements of Marble Garden with Stardust Speedway. It's glorious. It's awesome, they're mixing stuff from classic levels together!

You need to be a badass first.
I'm just gonna be honest with everyone in the thread

I never extensively grew up on Genesis-era Sonic games. I've always been a 3D Sonic kid at heart, and most of my exposure to 2D Sonic comes from having a friend's copy of Sonic 3 & Knuckles on PC for awhile, getting the Classic Collection for the DS in my high school years, touching Sonic CD all of once before the American game over music prevented little babby me from playing it ever again, and owning Sonic Advance 2 for a longass period of time

But god drat, Sonic Mania is the most hype I have ever been for a 2D Sonic game. Every single part of this game is overflowing with love and care, and it's making me even happier to know that it's being made by people who loved and grew up on Sonic. Without having seen too much preview footage except for some teasers here and there, I can already tell this is gonna be one of the best 2D Sonic games, if not the best 2D Sonic game ever made. It's gonna be so hard waiting for this game to come out in 5 days, especially now that new footage and content is already starting to leak out. Hell, I'm still pretty hype for Sonic Forces to come out too, but I literally cannot wait to finally be able to play Sonic Mania in just a few more days
