The only US Sonic CD track I like better than it's JP equivalent is Sonic Boom.

I don't recall the US version of his song at all, especially not after Mania. All links I find are of the JPN version too :negative:

And after Mania this doesn't sound nearly as good to me. Maybe it'll grow on me but for now it's just noisy.

I don't know that I like it better than the JPN one, but both are really really good and very different.

Agreed. I like the US credits \ time attack music a lot too. And the special stage. And Tidal Tempest present.

Other than that, the JP OST is better yeah

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


I was very happy to see that Metallic Madness got into this game, but was bummed that Act II wasn't the bad future or good future. Then I got over it and loved it again. Also this is the first time I have liked the JP metallic madness theme more than the US version.


I also wished that the Metal Sonic boss took place in the bad future. I liked the red, purple, magenta color scheme from that a lot.

This game has nearly all of my favorite zones. Oil Ocean, Metallic Madness, Lava Reef, hydrocity. All it needed was Death Egg.

Can I just give a quick gently caress you to the blue sphere stage that has you hitting a blue sphere and immediately jumping over a bouncy sphere, over and over, in a counterclockwise spiral. Blue/green squares. Ughhhhhh

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Does Metal Sonic look like he has some sort of ingame pixelated corruption particle effect going on there?

I like Tidal Tempest US better than JP but that's the only one I outright prefer (Sonic Boom notwithstanding obviously). I think the rest is just ok, but Stardust Speedway is really good in both soundtracks. I feel like the JP version is just Metal Sonic's theme outright now but it's nice to see some love for the US soundtrack.

Hitlersaurus Christ posted:

Hmm... what else...
There's some musical callbacks but I'm not sure of all of them. Titanic Monarch seems to have a bit of Sonic 1's Final Zone in it, and there's definitely something in Flying Battery's act 2 song. The intro's second music (which I'm assuming was made before they decided to use Super Potions' song) has soundalike of Sonic CD's JP/EU opening and a bit of the original Sonic theme. Anyone else found any?

Mirage Saloon Act 1 for Sonic & Tails has a little hint of the Sky Chase melody from Sonic 2, which is kind of obvious given what kind of stage it is but I didn't connect the musical dots until 2 days ago

Stardust Speedway (both acts) has a little bit of Wave Ocean from Sonic 06 but I can't tell if that's on purpose or if it's just a generic bridge.

JP Metallic Madness was always freakin' boss.

And honestly I'm kind of surprised that Death Egg isn't in Mania because it's like the only iconic thing from classic Sonic that isn't in this game. Mania has Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Tails, Knuckles, Metal Sonic, Eggrobos, a level where you're on the Tornado, the Master Emerald, this game almost has it all. The only glaring exceptions are Casino Night (or any pinball themed level really) and the Death Egg. Trying to stop the Death Egg from doing... whatever it did was the whole plot behind Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles.

Has Chemical Plant 2's boss.music been mentioned? I swear it is a remix of the 2P music from Mean Bean Machine.

Titanic Monarch sounds like something out of the more modern games, and I love it. The Final Boss theme has shades of S3&K's final boss theme in it.

Because it is. Which is, itself, a remix of the Final Boss music from Puyo Puyo.

I'm actually glad that the Death Egg or something similar didn't show up in this game, as I feel that level has been kind of overused in both the classic and modern games.
I found it pretty neat that Titanic Monarch is instead a sort of successor to Panic Puppet from Sonic 3D Blast, though that isn't obvious until you see what it looks like in the ending cutscene.

Sonic Mania is beyond good. It's one of the best games in the series now.

Sonic Forces is continuing to look just okay. I'll give it a play but won't get my hopes up.

If anything Mania is working double duty and tempering realistic expectations onto Forces, so hopes won't be dashed when it's merely an ok game.

Congratulations on not getting fit in 2011!
Considering the massive fan-fiction following Sonic has, it's very smart to do kind of a Dragonball Xenoverse deal so people can go ahead and make their DeviantArt creations in a canon game. It was the smartest move they had for the 3D games and, like DBZ moving to 2D Marvel-type fighters, just seems like the grand finale before moving to something way better.

Each of the different OC animals have a different ability for instance birds can double jump. Idk how many weapons (wispons) there are but you can swap them out whenever you want.

Colors is one of the few well-received "3D" games, so they're reusing an element from it is as far as I expect the thinking goes.
