What are some other sonic mysteries/urban legends that Sonic Mania will undoubtedly put to rest?

1. We will at last see the triumphant return of Mighty the Amarillo.

They probably mean a new playable character for the third kind of gameplay after Classic and Modern.... Sonic Boom Sonic.

It will be Future Sonic, extrapolated from design changes since his debut to predict what he will look like in 30 years and how his games will play

It says there'll be a third gameplay type besides classic and modern, so I'm pinning my mast to the good ship Boom Sonic With Adventure Gameplay.

I'm just amazed that they're making a level based on an unfinished Sonic 2 level that was also an unfinished Sonic CD level. That is several levels of Sonic prototype nerdiness.

You say that... but now that it's out there I kinda feel silly for not seeing it coming a mile off!

One only has to look at the Sonic2 Hidden Palace for example.

I doubt there will be a 'Wood Zone' from S2 as well, but I wouldn't be surprised at a shout out. Less so with what ever the hell Genocide City was, but eh? Do we have any obscure Michael Jackson references yet in reference to the whole S3 debacle? I'm positive a Tails doll will be in the game, and I'm willing to bet it'll be an achievement. Ray the Squirrel in some form too. I mean how many people really know who the hell the 3 characters on the wanted posters in the new desert level are?

No the problem was that game was so busted on a technical level you had to pray to the programming gods to get through certain stages.

The voice acting in Heroes was 100% bad bad bad creatively, technically and in implementation, but all those lines are burnt into my brain forever and I have a sort of nostalgia for them. It's like Stockholm nostalgia.

Look at all those Eggmans robots. Wheeeeeee.

I'm sure it will be Boom Sonic because of the TV show still being a thing, but I have no idea what his gameplay would be like other than just a poo poo version of modern sonic? (that describes Adventure as well as Sonic Boom BTW.)

Maybe they'll bring back the Werehog and we'll have hours of stretchy arms brawling and the first 30 seconds of that jazz theme to pad the game out.

Genocide City (later Cyber City before it got scrapped, which if anything is the name that would wind up being used) is what became Metropolis Act 3. The original intent was for it to be a standalone zone akin to Sky Chase and Wing Fortress.

And now that you mention Tails Doll I suddenly realize how much I want it and Metal Knuckles to show up as bosses, along with the boys on the saloon posters.

Fire & Ice has a nice format with combo-based platforming where you can maximize air time with well placed homing attacks and tethering, they could work with that and maybe convert it to a 3D style.

Most of Sonic Boom on Wii U plays closer to the werehog or any other generic platform-action game than 3D boost-style Sonic.

Billiards no, but on the other hand, maybe we could have some fun playing a nice game of pinball.

Actually, it's just gonna be Knuckles. That way you have classic Sonic, modern Sonic, & Knuckles

One of 06's lesser crimes was getting psychic powers and only being creative enough to use them to play with the crappy physics engine.

In my ideal, we'd see the canon timeline where Sonic passes through in two minutes and nothing else happens.


If we have to actually have a game, then we get this overwrought anime nonsense, but everyone has their Sonic Boom personalities and no one takes it seriously for a minute.
