Just beat the game, got the "bad" ending. Can't say I agree with the complaints about bosses, they were all very fun and at worst only took a little bit of basic experimenting to figure out. The final boss was especially cool. Whoever said the final zone was bad is dead wrong, it was very good. This game was very good. I wish there were more original stages because those were the best part but the remixes were good as well. Sonic Mania is very good. I'm gonna go get all the emeralds and then probably play through the game like a million times with each character. Are people really getting game overs left and right with this game? I had like 20 lives when I beat it.

I just beat the game (without all the emeralds). Mania is Very Good. The music is fantastic, the level design is on point and the bosses are extremely fresh and creative. One or two bosses, I do wish were a bit better, namely Stardust Speedway Act 2 during the middle phase and Hydrocity Act 2 in it's last phase. I do enjoy those fights, but they're a little tricker for their own good. The final zone in particular just felt really cool (if a little long in Act 2), and so was the final boss, though I wonder what the game throws at me if I got all the emeralds.

Soooo, anyone else having major performance issues on the XBONE? Just installed it and it's running slow as hell. So slow that in the movie that plays if you don't hit anything the music finished about thirty seconds before the video did and it just kept playing with no sound. Same thing happened once I started a game and the plane was flying. It's severely unplayable.

Beasteh posted:hydrocity act 1 is pure water hell and unfun which is a shame because act 2 is fantastic Yeah, I felt the same way. I think it was the bubble maze and boat parts that killed it for me. There's probably a way to avoid those routes.

Stardust Speedway boss obviously but the bubble puzzles in Hydrocity are taken from Triple Trouble I think When your fighting the shapeshifter heavy and he turns into Knack, I'm sure some of the sfx were from Triple Trouble as well.

I would try restarting your xbox or maybe reinstalling the game. Comedy option: wrong type of RAM, etc

On Stardust speedway boss. Part 2 is easy. Just spin dash the little guys when they spin dash. And you should get past that in about 30 seconds.

There so big that I think I almost got all the chaos emeralds in the first 2 zone.

I just think it overused a gimmick that I wasn't fond of in the first place to the point I just wanted to die. Most of the level is just a big empty space with the gimmick object copy pasted loving everywhere and ughhh. Doesn't help the stage goes on so long that the boss has to reset the timer just so it doesn't kill you. It just way overstayed its welcome for me.

Cool easter egg: Level select code for the Switch is B+Y+Plus on the title screen. Gives access to an old-school Sound Test too.

Beat the game, went back and got all the Emeralds, and beat it again. Game fuckin' rules. Only thing is how do I do the Drop Dash on the Switch version? And how do I access Debug Mode and & Knuckles Mode?

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.

It's fine if you don't like the gimmick but lol it's not even close to being copy/pasted, they milk a ton of variety out of it. Also a Act 2's layout is really neat and different from anything else in the series.

How hard is the CPZ boss compared to its source? Because I was just aggressively terrible at the original game and couldn't get close to the end of story mode, so while it was hilarious finding out what the boss is, I am not looking forward to actually playing it.
