and now we have warped back around into talking about the sonic archie comics

the comics post-penders are legit really good, Ian Flynn made me learn to stop worrying and love the hog

Nack, Bean and Bark being a team, and the design used for the Silver Sonic boss that was skipped in Stardust Speedway, are both owed to the comics (in the original Game Gear game Silver Sonic comes from he only had the one arm that erupts from his gut)

That's the beauty of it my friend, you don't need nostalgia for it. It's legitimately good on its own. And you can beat it in like 3-4 hours or something. But I'm a let and let live kinda guy. What are some other games on your list btw?

my main problems with sonic mania are I didn't like how *all* of the bonus stages were blue spheres. I would have liked some variety and a way to get powerups & rings.

also I didn't like the last level, it didn't feel epic enough. the final final secret boss had a good concept but I don't think it was executed as good as it could have been.

A lot of my complaints with the last level/final secret boss are from the fact that I *LOVE* awesome, epic endings and the original Sonic & Knuckles like the entire last 3rd of the game all builds to the epic confrontation on death egg & doomsday zone. Not to say it shoudl have mimiced that but I would have liked a sick escalation!

IF those things were rectified then Sonic Mania would have unseated S3&K for sure.

Oh yeah and Sonic Mania has easy the best chaos emerald special stages ever. It is so perfectly designed and the music is so good I only wish there were more stages of it somehow. Hell I'd buy a standalone game!

I actually liked the final level, it was different for a Sonic game, especially the first act's emphasis on vertical climbing as opposed to "hold right to win".

i'm sad they didn't put in s3&k death egg zone/doomsday zone, aka the best final levels in any game

actually hidden palace->sky sanctuary->death egg->doomsday is such a good sequence

it's a miniboss in s3&k and you can hit it at any point, so i see why it could be confusing

Nack first showed up in a game gear game called Sonic Triple Trouble, Bean came from an old rear end game called Dynamite Ducks. They both showed up in the Sonic fighting game, along with Bark's first appearance.
