Oh good, there is a Sonic Mania thread. Guys, I can't stop looking at the gorgeous title screen. The loving title screen. I haven't been this excited for a new Sonic game since 3&K.

Also :agreed: on

My son has gotten really into sonic boom on Hulu so I've caught a few episodes and they're actually pretty decent. Lots of jokes for the adults as well as goofy callbacks to the games.

I've heard that the show is the best part of the sub-franchise... not that that's saying much.

I didn't hear anybody complaining when Princess Toadstool was finally changed to Princess Peach when Mario 64 dropped.

Anyway I don't care that it's been Eggman since SA1 but I appreciate that the English releases still use Dr. Robotnik as his "real" name and Eggman as his nickname.

This quote worked better before games could be patched.

And now pretty much all games are released as paid betas.

At least that's what it feels like at times. Don't get me wrong, I think the benefits definitely outweigh the drawbacks. It's good that game-breaking bugs on console titles can actually get fixed.

SupSuper posted:

Pretty sure that quote never worked, given we have things like DNF / crowdfunding / early access / etc.

DNF was amazing and widely praised and fondly remembered in a parallel universe when it was actually released in early 2001.

I think I only liked Sonic Advance 1 because it was the first 2D Sonic platformer in years after Knuckles Chaotix in 1995.

I mean, there was also Sonic Blast on Game Gear if you were really desperate, and I guess if you had a Neo Geo Pocket Color you could play Sonic Pocket Adventure.

Sonic Chaos and Triple Trouble for the Game Gear are also fine. They're not amazing but they're ok if you played all the above and are still hungry for more. They're certainly not bad. I can't really recommend Sonic 1 & 2 for Game Gear \ Master System, though.

Sonic 1 & 2 on Game Gear weren't great since the smaller screen made it much easier to run into things and die. They looked much more playable on a Master System screen. Also the music was pretty good - Bridge Zone from Sonic 1 in particular is one of those hidden gem tracks:

So according to the elevator the only canon sonic games are now

Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Sonic The Hedgehog 3
Knuckles Chaotix
Sonic Mania

What about Sonic CD and Sonic & Knuckles? What utter disrespect to fans of those games.

S&K, not Chaotix, is the canon one.

I'm just glad that Sonic 4 is being buried in an alternate universe somewhere.

Decide to play Sonic CD today. Still such a great game and my number one favorite Sonic game. I decided to do a Time Stone, Hologram, and Robot Generator run. I surprisingly remember the Special Zone very well .




Doesn't collecting all the Time Stones automatically destroy the holograms and generators in the remaining stages? Or am I not remembering it right?
