I miss the Rush games. Real fun gameplay, and Blaze was was one of my favourite (and few likable) new characters of the modern era, and being basically sonic in gameplay made her actually fun to play, unlike... almost everyone else added to the series. So of course they had to make her an alternate universe and/or future world character (thanks Sonic '06 for loving that up!) so she'd barely get any opportunities to show up again in the mainline series. Very cool. No it's fine Sega, I love to see Charmy loving Bee in every Sonic game, he's great.

Electric Phantasm posted:Advance 2's special stages are dumb just for the entrance requirements alone. I never would have found all those special rings without a guide and having to grab them all in a single run is just stupid. They were pretty fun once you actually got into them. I love games where you have to keep a multiplier going, it's why I loved Sonic Runners and Resident Evil's Mercenaries modes. The real kicker was that you had to get all the chaos emeralds with each character to unlock everything. This included the Tiny Chao Garden, which in most other Sonic GBA games was available from the start. After getting them with all characters you unlocked Amy, who was just a reskin of Sonic without moves like the air dash and homing attack. I got all the emblems with her too despite knowing it wouldn't unlock anything because when you're in that deep you might as well go all the way.

Blue sphere was awesome and I loved doing them as a kid but man, playing them in Mania just gave me a terrible headache now I'm all old and broken.

Does it just hold dozens of game states at once? It looks like it's just cutting back to exactly where you left off in each game. I wonder if it pulls you to different levels when you beat any of them or if you've effectively got to beat all the Sonics in their entirety eventually. Excellent

While Adv2 is worse, I didn't like this aspect of Adv1 either - finding them isn't totally unreasonable, but it still kind of sucks, and having one shot is rough, particularly coming from Sonic 3&K where you can get multiple shots per stage.

It wouldn’t surprise me if sega just made an official version of those hacks. They seem like the company who’d take a weird idea like that and make it into an official product.

Took probably 10 attempts to figure out what the whole intended route was supposed to be, and maybe 10 more to actually execute it and get the Perfect. Got every gold emblem inside of one playthrough  Something I'm realizing this time through classic sonics & and especially sonic mania for whatever reason is how much input buffering has spoiled me over the years since Whew the vasssst majority of my hits & deaths are from being a frame or two early on a jump input

The issue with them in mania is that bonus stages you can get many times and hit commonly should be short, and special stages you only need to complete seven of and are more spaced out should be longer. In mania they transplanted the long slog over to the constantly-appearing-short entry method and it screws up the flow a bit and very quickly you just hit the 'oh gently caress this' stage.

Blue Sphere would probably work ok as a Sonic 1 style end of act bonus, but with minibosses there's no room for anything else there.

Also, they aren’t really “bonus stages” in the traditional sense as they only unlock stuff in future games and offer little for your current playthrough besides…a continue? I can’t remember.

I have definitely fully accepted Sonic back into my life after some Dark Times in my life where I didn't play his games for a while...and happy to say i am 100% back in and that I am definitely a better man for it now today  As I said I went through the classics (1, 2, 3&K, CD, Mania) this week- I just beat Sonic Robo Blast 2, which I thought was great for the first half but I thought it got way, way too punishing with hazards/death traps towards the end, but maybe I'll enjoy it more on a replay sometime. I did play with a gamepad tho. Everyone thought Sonic games were hard their first time through right? Perhaps it'll grow on me more with time. On a whim I just played about 20min of Sonic Lost World for the first time since launch and whew does this game feel much worse than I remember it being to play. Sonic Lost World makes me feel really sad because my goodness the production value is there in spades in level design and story sequences, and they were clearly very ambitious with this title and ideas, but good god has Sonic ever felt worse to control? He just feels like you're moving in molasses and you have to hold a button the whole time, I don't trust my jumps and the movement feels very inconsistent...I forgot that while running full speed, turning him in an angle more than 45º just makes him lose 50% of his speed for absolutely no reason. Not sure if i'll continue this one, but it would be nice to get to that absolutely drop dead gorgeous underwater minecart stage again with the beautiful music. At this point I think I would genuinely enjoy Forces more than this.

I don't think I've touched Lost World since the Nintendo themed courses came out or at least the months around launch It's such a bummer because "we know that Sonic is about being slow sometimes, we know that parkour would be cool for Sonic, we're going to try this new thing" was so promising and then it was just the wettest of farts

Beep being negative about a Sonic game feels... wrong. It must be because Lost World is a Mario game.

Except instead of focusing on precise, intuitive controls and level design, we get knock-off Mario worlds and knock-off Koopalings.

If you change his angle *at all* then he loses *all of his speed*. Lost World controls like Sonic 4, where every part of the controls feels like it was programmed separately and never comes together into a cohesive whole.

The difference is that Lost World does that intentionally, while Sonic 4 is just a bunch of programmers who didn’t know or care how Sonic games should play.

There's more you can do in the Wii U version when you get it right, but it's also a lot more finicky/touchy. That and I never really liked the Kick mechanic in the Wii U version.

3DS Lost World feels incredible to move around in which is why it's whole 2.5 good stages are such a goddamn shame.
