Hey guys, remember Sonic Crackers? The Chaotix proto? You know how japan has the whole l/r problem? It's actually Sonic Clackers. As in, the toy. Two tethered balls. Much like the gameplay. It's funny how it took someone stupidly questioning the legitimacy of the game to figure this out. Led to some more interesting discussion also: http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=36468 The thread is a fun read, and features a bunch of internet archeology.

Stink Terios posted:Hey guys, remember Sonic Crackers? The Chaotix proto? Jesus loving christ!! It all makes sense now. Clackers. It's funny to look into Sonic Crackers / Knuckles Chaotix stuff to see my name dropped and old research linked. I was trying to find some unused sprites from the latter on tcrf.net and realized they weren't there because I had discovered them and therefore should loving re-upload them myself. The OP in that thread theorized that Sonic Clackers (just typing that... wow) was a prank by demo sceners. Aside from that being absurd from a technical standpoint, Jun Senoue (special thanks in Chaotix's credits) has admitted to playing it before. What a nostalgia trip.

Hey all I hope you're having a great day today. I overcame my winter slump went out for my first fast run of 2017 today cause it's unbelievably gorgeous out on the east coast today. Sonic playlist the whole way. Just thought I'd share my good vibes tonight. Remember, as you move along in your life, keep an open mind and (don't forget) if you gotta do something, believe in yourself. Can't wait for Sonic Mania

In 2017, is Shadow the Hedgehog still either the son of an evil intergalactic alien overlord or the robot clone of the son of an evil intergalactic alien overlord? Can somebody explained the reason for the existence of the Shadow the Hedgehog video game?

Uggg. I decided to keep my preorder of Sonic Mania CE on PS4 because of the d-pad, but now that I have a Switch Pro Controller reserved, I want it on Switch. But CE preorders aren't available on Amazon.

Well, that and the one zoom-in on Robotnik's glasses and it turns out they're a HUD.

Probably because it was healing him since he just fell to Earth from orbit maybe? Though I guess he was also souped up on chaos emeralds so he was probably unharmed? Maybe? If he didn't run out of rings before hitting the ground?

Which level do you think they'll pick from sonic 2 to be in the game? Chemical Plant and Emerald Hill Zone are obvious no go's unless they do something crazy for the latter.

I think Mystic Cave, given the media team has posted it a couple times. And Casino Night, because always Casino Night, sigh. I'm personally hoping for Hilltop Zone. I'd like them to do zones that can expand up and down to add volume without feeling repetitive and HTZ always felt unfinished. (My personal list, besides HTZ, is Marble, Oil Ocean, Flying Battery, Tidal Tempest and Quartz Quadrant)

I guess technically we already re-did one level from Generations, why not all of them? Apparently leaked information puts the release at April 25th, but Amazon removed that a bit later. On the other hand the article implied that Sonic Mania has been "done for a while now" which directly contradicts the official stream, so I kinda feel like maybe the amazon leak doesn't mean much.

What zones don't you want to see? Like which are your least favorite from 1, 2 3&K? Mine are Marble Garden, Sandopolis and Launch Base.

There's nothing from 3 I don't like. Well, maybe shorten carnival night zone, it's a bit much. Actually sky chase and the original water level zone, Labyrinth, are like the only two I can think of I really don't want to see. I'd rather not see Casinoes, but they won't be bad, just less good. Emerald Hill is the next worst level from 2 but I think they'd fix its problems so that'd be cool.

Man, what if that's what this hold up is. In his spare time he's had 3&K ready to go for YEARS but has had to wait for Mania to come out before he can drop it due to internal rules about Mania(/s.17?)'s marketing calendar. A man can dream...

I'm not a fan of Oil Ocean. I don't like orange, oil slopes are annoying to deal with, the pneumatic cannon thingies are slow, the badniks are surprisingly good at hitting me (like, Metropolis level good) and the music just rubs me up the wrong way for some reason, which is a shame because in most other respects Sonic 2 is my favourite game soundtrack period.

Yeah, i think Oil Ocean is probably the weakest part of S2. I think also for all the reasons you mentioned it was something of a brick wall for me (seriously, gently caress those seahorse bots), and the boss itsself was kind of... eh.

Okay but when the boss shoots the ground-level lasers and blue flames shoot up you gotta admit that was pretty tight.

It ain't gonna happen, but I'd like to see an 8-bit level remade like Scrambled Egg (because it has THE BEST MUSIC) or Mecha Green Hill, but that might be too similar to regular Green Hill to get a pass. Sunset Park with the train set piece would also be great.

The seahorse badniks in Oil Ocean used to scare me for some reason as a kid. Did anything in Sonic ever freak you guys out as kids? Other than drowning, of course.

I know Green Hill is obviously already in, and it's not difficult to see why, but it and its variants could do with a long break. I wouldn't worry about Sandopolis being in if you don't like it considering the levels we have seen included. Wacky Workbench is the one I'd rather not see come back.Paul.Power posted:I don't like orange,

I totally get the critique of Oil Ocean, but it's more of a platformer / not speed level that has an amazing theme we just never see anymore. It feels like in mania they could fix the flaws and work from what it does well. I always liked getting there as a kid, since it was a total poo poo got real moment, unlike say Launch zone where you just burst in with no preamble. Oil Ocean looks mostly technofied, you know you're getting to the end of the game then.

Sunset Park with the train set piece would also be great. I mean I hate the rush games but I'm sure there's good level themes in there, and the 8-bit games had their own stuff too.
