Xbox d-pad is shiiiit. Transitioning into a spin while running is a huge pain in the dick. Or maybe I just have old man hands. But I have to let go of right/left and THEN press down. Can't "dragon punch" it, if you catch me?

Larryb posted:So any idea yet if Tails and Knuckles get their Super forms in this game (though I'm guessing the true final boss you get if you have all the emeralds is Sonic exclusive)? Just checking to see if it's worth trying to go through the Special Stages with them if nothing else. Decided to look it up for myself and yes, both Tails and Knuckles can go Super in this game. Tails doesn't have the Flickies anymore but he does apparently get infinite flight time (not 100% sure on that though). Super Knuckles is more or less identical to how he was in the Genesis games.

The drop dash is really cool and a great way to get some speed going if you don't have much horizontal velocity in the air

I have a couple gripes after having finished Sonic Mania: the new levels are too busy looking and clash with the art style of the older ones. Also having blue spheres as the bonus stage slows down gameplay too much to the point where I ended up avoiding going into them altogether. Otherwise? Game owns.

How does the game handle your save after you beat the last zone? Is it like 3&K where you get level select and keep your emeralds?

So is this game like playing S3&K? Is it a confirmed Good Game? If so, do you think it's better on Steam or on the new Nintendo: The Nintendo Switch?

I listened to a rip of the final level/boss musics, including the Super Sonic battle. The last one especially is so cool and funky. I am close to gnawing my own hand off, they blue balled me good with this delay.

some of the special stage rings are absurdly well hidden and you pretty much have to go an entirely alternate route with a lot of backtracking

I found rings in only Emerald Hill and Chemical Plant, I may have found one in Studiopololis or whatever, but i can't remember same with the blueball mini-game i make the dumbest loving decisions during them

I found rings in only Emerald Hill and Chemical Plant, I may have found one in Studiopololis or whatever, but i can't remember I was trying to play blue sphere this morning while completely sleep deprived. It led to situations such as me hitting a blue sphere turning it red- finding the nearest bouncer sphere and instead of just turning around it slamming into it and killing myself. Or just flat out turning into a wall of red for no reason other then "whoopsie"

That boss fight was fine and even enjoyable, but then I didn't die so I didn't have to restart all the way from the beginning. They shoulda put lampposts in or added more rings to the layout at least.

I'm a broken record here but (IMO) most of the boss fights are more clever and fun to see for the first time than enjoyable to play.

I like the boss fights but maybe I'm just a sucker for how creative they are. Only one I didn't dig on was Hydrocity Act 2, it's a nice idea but the boss is too big to jump over which makes the fight tougher than it really needs to be when it's already the second phase. I really dig the handful of Game Gear nods there are, I'm so glad they remembered those games in any way. Stardust Speedway boss obviously but the bubble puzzles in Hydrocity are taken from Triple Trouble I think
