Here, have a Sonic Mania Plus screenshot.

There’s a tiny blurry scan in the link too. Can’t make out much text from it except that Mighty’s special move is called hammer drop and Ray’s is air glide. Seems like encore mode has a story, too, as well as playable Angel Island.

The magazine comes out in a few days so I might pick it up and try to translate some of it.

Hammer Drop makes it sound like it might be similar to what Super Sonic has with the drop dash. Kinda wonder what it will even do for Mighty though. If it's an enemy killing move, it sounds a little out of place, since he could have just jumped on them anyway.

There’s an inaccessible area in Lava Reef after the patch that’s below a section of the floor that looks breakable, and it looks like there’s something similar in one of the AIZ screenshots. I’m guessing Mighty’s move is essentially the stomp attack from the 3D games and lets him break through obstacles like that.

Anyone know how plus is going to work with the original game data? Is it going to be a completely separate game or is it just basically an update patch?

One Nation, Under God.
I haven't paid much attention but from what I gather, there'll be a free update (a la the one that leaked) that patches the original game with some of the Plus additions like additional cutscenes and so on, and then an actual paid update to add the new content, which Famitsu says will cost the equivalent of $5.

It just occurred to me that they would have had to make new 3D models for Ray and Mighty for the special stages.

The best part is Sonic beaming when he sees Ray and Mighty, then his eyes flick over to Tails because the others aren't reacting.

Mania may be the absolute platonic ideal of good retro nostalgia. I am struggling to think of a better example in any medium, and it's not like Generations didn't take a decent crack at it.

Knuckles and Mighty mugging at the end of the trailer is fantastic and Knuckles needs to spend more time with his Chaotix friends :colbert:

I don't even remember if Espio/Charmy/Vector ever mention that they already know him in the more recent games

I think so, but there's also supposedly new paths in existing levels for Ray and/or Mighty. Stuff Mighty can smash open has been spotted in the leaked update version at least.

Seems so, and even then I don't think it's really confirmed as anything specific - people are thinking it might just be a little intro/tutorial thing for encore mode & the new characters rather then a full on two act zone.

I'm hoping there's some cool secret they won't drop info about, like another extra zone or something, and surely there will be something different at the end of encore mode - but as a 5$ update, it's probably better not to expect too much beyond what's been shown.

Is it $5? Where did they announce the price?

I saw something saying it had a 500 yen price tag which would be about 5$ - want to say I then saw an english tweet confirming the 5$ price but I can't find it again.

According to some dude Famitsu reported a price equivalent to five bucks

The character swapping is making me think of that Sonic Classic Heroes mod. I hope this ends up in lots of wacky speedrun tactics.

so I'm using Sonic and Knuckles in a Fire Pro Wrestling stream I'm doing tonight

Knuckles' entrance music is really really obvious, it basically has to be this

what should I use for Sonic's, though? I'm kind of torn between Sonic Boom, Live & Learn, Open Your Heart, His World, or just using the Tee Lopes version of Green Hill Zone

e: seriously leaning towards Live & Learn because that song fuckin rules and kicks in fast enough that I wouldn't have to edit anything
