Pretty sure this is a Plus/patch addition, but I JUST noticed during the first phase of the Metal Sonic fight, when you destroy one of those mini silver sonics, they now let you 4 energy balls that can damage Metal Sonic, helping make that first phase much more tolerable.
.....though it's still just easiest to roll dash into them as soon as the silver sonic prepares a spin dash itself when it's right in the middle of the stage.

There's already a cheat code for this.Do you guys think it would be prudent for the team to give Sonic simultaneous access to all three of special moves?
Drop Dash, Insta-Shield and Super Peelout.
Just map them to different face buttons.
If you are still having trouble I suggest trying to avoid jumping at all costs unless there is a hole or spikes. Jumping slows you down way more than you may expect in the special stages and it oftentimes is hugely faster to run through the rough patches than it is to jump over them.I cannot get the third chaos emerald. No matter how much I increase my speed, the UFO is always at the same distance from me. Every time I do a lap and I turn that corner, he's always in front of my over the barrier, always at the same fucking place.
I had no idea. I'll try that. Thanks.If you are still having trouble I suggest trying to avoid jumping at all costs unless there is a hole or spikes.

I know nobody cares because this game came out more than 2 days ago, but damn its been a while since Ive played a sonic game, (sonic 2), and I cant beat the airship level. I hate how it doesnt start you back at Act 2 and I have to do all of act 1 again. I guess I'm out of practice for older generation games. Its also deflating when you go on forums and people are like "I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE GAME OVER SCREEN LOOKS LIKE HURR DURR". I feel like maybe I wasted my $9 on steam. Idk.
That's what happens when you run out of lives dude. Hate to say it but... get good?
Thanks. That really helps. I guess Ill refund it. I just didnt have any fun with it at all. It seems well crafted and everything. I liked the first couple of zones just fine but this airship level is confusing and annoying in ways that I dont like at all. I accept Im not worthy of this game and ill leave it to the true gamers of the world.
Is there a cheat anywhere for infinite lives so I can actually mess up like a human or what?

Uuuuh you could always just use a trainer and farm lives by collecting rings :pThanks. That really helps. I guess Ill refund it. I just didnt have any fun with it at all.

You don't deserve to see the ending or be able to play every stage just because you paid $9.
You should be able to disable losing if timer runs put. There is an option for it.Ok. This game is pretty good. Got into the groove. Slowed down. Had a bullshit death with the timer in the middle of the boss but other than that I did pretty good. You guys were right I just needed to get good and slow down a bit. It's cool! Very nostalgic for me.
Like I said I needed to calm down.
I really love this game but fuck the Oil Ocean 2 boss to death, sometimes these bosses make me rage simply for the time it takes to repeat the previous levels.
Bullshit ass octopus. The insta-death platform stuff fucking blows, absolutely terrible design. I also hate the smoke tactic of stage 2.
I just don't like the oil ocean shit at all.
Do you mean quitting as soon as you return to the level? I'll test itWhen I get a chaos emerald in Encore mode, is the emerald still saved if I decide to quit to the main menu right after?
Thanks.Do you mean quitting as soon as you return to the level? I'll test it
edit: the game autosaves after a special stage, so I believe it should keep your emerald

Ok thanks :)Dunno, as much as I've watched Sonic Mania Mods on YouTube, I haven't tried any of them besides maybe one and I have no idea what it was.
You can just replay Green Hill Zone Act 1 'til you get all the emeralds. The damned Sonic 3 blue sphere levels are the ones that I can't do.I've seen some youtube video suggestions about Mods for Sonic Mania for PC. So I am wondering if I should triple dip on the game. WHat are the best mods for Sonic Mania Steam version?
Wait, I never knew this. I've never got all emeralds in any mode, I am so bad at those special stages. Anything else I should know?
...I have only gotten 3 emeralds before :(You can just replay Green Hill Zone Act 1 'til you get all the emeralds. The damned Sonic 3 blue sphere levels are the ones that I can't do.
You just have to hold Up when you do this.Guys! Quick question...
In my memory, in the original Sonic the Hedgehog 3, you could make Tails fly while playing as Sonic by pressing jump after jumping in the air..
But in playing around with some roms and romhacks, I see that in the original Sonic 3 rom, AND in Sonic 3 + Knuckles, you can't seem to do this! (Although it's in the Sonic 3 Complete rom hack).
Is my memory wrong? Where did I get this from? Could it really have been as recent as Sonic Mania where this was made possible, or are there cartridge revisions on the original game with this difference?
So confused, thanks!
