Sonic Mania - Special & Bonus stages revealed


​

With less than 2 weeks to the release of Sonic Mania left - SEGA have finally pulled back the curtains on the games special stages. In the new footage above we get a good look at the new gameplay that see Sonic & friends chasing down a "UFO" for the fabled Chaos Emeralds. The presentation for the stages, much like the entire Sonic Mania experience, take on a heavy SEGA Saturn influence - draw distance and all!

We also get a good look at the bonus stages which may surprise some; and time attack mode - which allows players to instantly restart a stage with the tap of a button when the run isn't quite as perfect as you'd like.

Sonia Mania launches on the 15th August on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch.

So much effort, love and attention and been poured into this game, you can tell with every pixel. Digging the speedrunners practice mode, resetting the level whenever you want. That'll be great, even better if you can set checkpoints.

Glad both this and undertale (on PS4) come out the day before I go to school. Looking forward to playing some Sonic mania on the go with the switch!

Am I the only one who wishes they would stop revealing this kind of stuff to keep it a surprise?

Before anyone says 'don't look', it's a bit hard when the thumbnail gives it away and it's on the front page.

You're only option now is staying off the internet for two weeks if you don't want anything else spoiled. Good luck!

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
