Sonic Mania

I wonder how long these guys have been working on this? I mean I guess the answer is their entire lives you can’t make something this good without being all in; but like, how many hours they’ve spent on these specific sprites and layouts and code.

I think the parts where sonic runs behind the yellow screens and gets silhouetted is one of the coolest looking things I have ever seen in a videogame.

Okay, I love everything about Studiopolis Zone, but I’m especially loving how it’s not until six minutes in that one can see a train running in the background, and then only for a second or two. More of that sort of detail, please.

just rewinding and listening to the level complete jingle 100 times

One of these days I need to make a level complete jingle compilation. They are the highly dense compressed diamonds to the carbon of pop music. Someone shoulda paid Prince and MJ to write like a hundred of these things

Well, the teams developing for it ostensibly know

Y’all need to play the master system/ game gear sonics.

Those were all I had as a kid, and they are good

Lil potbelly Sonic was and remains legit charming, however did they forget this for so long

Him and Mario could do a gut bump and it would probably rule

I hear a little Genesis Diamond Dust Zone in there.

The special edition for this comes with a (inevitably shoddily built) little sonic statue that has a ‘SEGA!’ audiobox inside. So tempted to spend extra on a dinky little special edition just for this statue.

This looks like if Sonic had a traditional 2D release on the Saturn. I’m so hyped.

What they should have done:

  1. Put SD card inside of fake 32X cart shell.
  2. Make 1/1 size usb card reader in shape of Neptune prototype.
  3. Prepare bank vault for influx of internet upvotes and cash
