Sonic Mania Adventure

Nice! I was thinking Triple Trouble might have been tough since it’s specifically the “Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit” fan conversion, but you got it. : )

Yay!

Oh, I didn’t even notice it was a 16 bit version! When it’s shrunk to that size, it looks pretty similar to the original art.

I always wonder if I should dive into Fortnite and then remember I am absolute dogshit at shooters

What else is there besides Sonic? In the trailer, I spied Mega Man, Mortal Kombat, Pac-Man, Tetris?

Sonic is facing the opposite direction! But yeah I guess he’s more or less styled the same way. ; )

I learned this weekend that Sonic Mania – the Steam version anyway – is always slightly blurry in fullscreen because of how it’s upscaling from its base 424x240 resolution; the only way to get it not blurry is to run it windowed; the UI only lets you go up to 3x base resolution windowed, but you can put custom values in the Settings.ini file in the install directory–like 4x fits on a 1080p screen so for that you set

winWidth=1696
winHeight=960

Sonic Mania is truly a blessing :folded_hands:

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I saw this maniac (ThisKwaisor) condensed Sonic Mania to 20mb including the cutscenes (?!): GitHub - ThisKwasior/Sonic-Mania-20MB: Sonic Mania compressed to 20MB · GitHub

Damn, that opening took up gigs to render on my hard drive and now it’s just a fraction of that, amazing

201.9 MB to 20 MB, not bad. It won’t get me to go through reinstalling MSYS2 (which will probably take up far more than 200 MB, especially once you start compiling stuff–but you would uninstall it afterwards of course) to do the conversion, but hey.

Another screenshot of Kanga Clanga from that Sonic Mania 2 prototype

Got it from Christian Whitehead’s bsky:

Compare with their eventual appearance in Sonic Superstars

I just remembered but if y’all have a Round 1 near you, I wish to inform you that their karaoke system now has “Open Your Heart” along with the ever popular j-karaoke picks “Escape from the City” and “Live and Learn.” They also have the Sonic Heroes’ theme and other Sonic songs I forgot.

Sonic Expo in Atlanta moved next door to a Round 1 so I learned this last week lol

“This content was not made for kids” is the most Sonic fan way to start a Sonic fan thing. Looks cool though!

Honestly the “not for kids” thing is probably just so it doesn’t get put into the “Youtube Kids” bucket and have comments disabled

Probably also a safe disclaimer because there’s that one moment where Sonic wipes and smears blood from his nose. Not kids stuff!

My kid gets bloody noses all the time
