Seconding this, it's also a travesty that the 3DS version of Generations got Starlight Carnival, not the PC/PS3 one :argh:

Generations 3DS had Tropical Resort, not Starlight Carnival.

I need that syringe with green goop injected into me right now, I need the Sonic Mania.

So, which character are you first gonna choose to play as in Mania? I'm debating to go as Sonic solo or the classic Sonic & Tails duo. Kinda hope cpu Tails can screw you over in the special stages for nostalgia's sake.

But I'll probably double-dip and download it on the switch tonight, because I've wanted this game for 23 years and can't wait another day.

This game has some really clever level design. I just finished Flying Battery zone and I'm shocked at how fresh all the re-imagined levels are.

Beat it, and what an absolute joy it was to play. Level design was great, and I loved how much character was put into the game.

Was only able to get 3 emeralds. Special Stages are far more difficult than they appear.

One of my favorite moments was turning the tide on Eggman in Hydrocity Act 1, and using the boss mobile from Sonic 3. That was so satisfying, and Eggman's diver outfit was amazing.

Regarding some returning levels Never would've expected Oil Ocean & especially Metallic Madness to return. MM was always the weakest final level in the classic series, and somehow they turned it into one of the best levels in the game. Loved jumping between the background & foreground. Which is just such a great evolution from the revolving panels from the original level.

Sonic Mania rules, and now I have to catch that drat fourth Chaos Emerald.

The Barrel is really unintuitive, especially since you can bounce on it to gain momentum.

Pretty messed up they lock you in a room with it.

The transitions between zones in S3&K are top notch. They really make Angel Island feel like an actual place.

Pretty great world building for 1994.

I preferred not rolling in the Genesis games as a kid. Sonic just looked cooler running.


In Mania, would constantly use the drop dash. It was a great addition to Sonic’s move-set.

Secret Rings & Black Knight are some of the worst games I've ever played.

Sonic 06 gets all the hate, but its a pile of gold compared to Secret Rings.

Sonic Jam is just a collection of the first 3 Genesis games with a little bonus 3D section thrown in so yes

Pretty sure they're referring to the other Sonic Jam on the game.com.

Contains only 3 zones & it runs terribly.

I mentioned that I was actually having some fun with parts of ‘06 in the 360/PS3 thread on the retro board and no one was having that. It’s a mess but there are some great spots and it’s pretty clear that if they had more time it would’ve been a solid game.

The reaction towards 06 is wildly hyperbolic these days. I feel like the game has been memed into being one of the worst games of all time.

06 is a disaster, but there is a salvageable aspect to it. Secret Rings & Black Knight are just trash.

Can't believe a Vtuber video has done more for Sonic lore than any game from the past decade. The Two Worlds was a dumb concept so its good they retconned it.

The planet should be called Mobius.
