I have tried the first encore special stage like five times, still have not beaten it.
Mighty is ok but Ray is amazing

Encore has a different ending, though very short. Not animated either.
My target order for this is backordered (Hmmm I wonder why..) til August, lmao. I never played the original release so I'm looking forward to this...eventually!
DAMN, they gave us new special stages & they're TOUGH, could barely even get close to the first UFO. Felt like I was playing special stage 5 or 6 again. Can't wait to replay the normal mode with Ray & Mighty. Encore Mode is a neat twist on letting you have all the characters at once but also knowing when to swap them out.
Won't lie that I'm slightly bummed there's no new trophies/achievements, but oh well, I'll still be doing 3 new playthroughs, one on Encore & then 2 more on the regular stages.

Yeah, it's 29.99 everywhere online but for some reason Game were selling it for 24.99 in store (well at least the one I checked)
omg Ray's animation for climbing the things in Flying Battery Zone is so good. & yes, first chaos emerald get.
Ray also gets to shine in Flying Battery due to the parts with the open pits & being able to glide over them.
aaahhhh was so damn close to getting the 2nd emerald but I got a time over JUST as I hit a ring box...

I'm guessing it's because in Encore Mode they wanted the sound to play if either character was drowning because they each have their own air meter and it doesn't reset when you switch, but I think they could have done it without ditching the music.
For some reason I thought this game was coming out at the end of the month, so this is a pleasant surprise
That was never true - stages have checkpoints just like the classic Sonic games did. The complaint was mostly that the "save game" feature only works on zones, not acts or checkpoints, so if you quit the game or get a game over halfway through act 2 you have to restart from act 1 when you load your save. Not sure if they've changed this?
That was never true. The lamp-post things are checkpoints, same as in Sonic 2 or 3.
It's been replaced with the Sonic CD sound effect...but you knew that.
Why? Idk, guess to not make the wonderful music go away. It's a good change imo.
Is there a way to buy the dlc for eShop on mobile? I'm just seeing a buy digital option for the entire game.
Three emeralds on my first encore mode run, cripes. Feels like playing a new game in that regard. I could definitely feel all the extra badniks and the occasional new object placement, but at the same time it didn't have any real surprises either outside of special stage rings being somewhat mixed up. New bonus stage is a marked improvement, but it still moves a little slow.
Mighty's ground pound had some nice niche uses, but his hazard defenses were the real highlight. Ray seems neat, but I never did quite wrap my head around him. Character swapping is fun, but management of all five is messy with all the different item box variants that get involved.
New stage palettes are a very mixed bag.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Gets final hit in on new Metal Sonic fight, bomb hits me at the same time, gotta start over.
Like damn, I didn't lose a single character up to this point, but now I lost THREE of them against this single form. I'm just so glad that there's a checkpoint after the "first" form & there's not that long climb to the very top now.
Beat him on the last character. I was being too "quick"/greedy on trying to beat him quickly.
AND THEN I DIE LANDING ON SPIKES IN HYDROCITY. Oh well, least I had 4 continues, but freakin' hell, what a cheap way to die.

Man, I'm more disappointed than I expected to be that activating "& Knuckles" mode on a Sonic & Tails file doesn't allow you to have all three characters on the screen at once.
What I like about Ray is that even though it's hard to fly through the majority of the level like it's Super Mario World (although I'm sure some godlike speedrunners will be doing that soon enough), you can use his glide for lots of little moments here and there. It's like having Knuckles' glide but you don't lose all momentum after using it unless you want to PLUS the ability to get vertical height like Tails PLUS the ability to be fast while you're doing it like Sonic.
How the hell has someone managed to get 33 seconds on GHZ Act 2 as Ray?
I managed like 1:05 (which was admittedly sloppy, and I could've got it down to like just over 50 seconds on a clean run), but that was 3rd on the leaderboards, and 2nd place was only a few seconds faster than me.

I like Encore mode but I wish you could switch everyone you accumulated at will. Do I want a 2D Sonic Heroes mode just now? Maybe.
How does Ray work? I don't get him really.

Not sure if this would have any value to me....I can't even beat the main quest haha
If I'm not interested in harder challenges and would never notice what's different about a remixed stage, is there anything else that is interesting to a player who just wants to have some light fun? The two new characters look like they may be worth it and it is only $5...

He's basically the cape from Super Mario World, only with extra momentum. If he's already moving quickly when you start a glide he'll get some distance, but you can build more momentum by diving.
Yeah. One of my biggest disappointments with the original release was that the transitions pretty much stopped after Flying Battery. This one was great.
Man, one of these just sticks out like a sore thumb. Can't put my finger on it.
Oh yeah, it's Cream the Rabbit, her ears are backwards.
Hmmm, question. Do you always get the Knuckles version of Mirage Saloon in Encore, or do you only get it if you have Knuckles out?
Also pleased with the Stardust Speedway to Hydrocity transition, but the Hydrocity one is...okay? It KIND OF explains how they went from there to Mirage Saloon, but not entirely? So far, the Flying Battery to Press Garden one might be the coolest new one.

who's the one in the top right, the blonde human next to elise and the two in the bottom right (not shade)?
Hydrocity to Mirage Saloon transition had to die so all of these others could live.
It was never true.
Sure if you got Game over you'd restart at the beginning of the Level. But if you die and you have 6 lives left, you restart at the last checkpoint.
just to be a pedant, this is technically true if you're playing no save mode, but that's completely optional anyway.
Top right is generic Sonic Boom NPC.
Blonde girl is Maria from Sonic Adventure 2...
Bottom right 2 are Honey the Cat from Sonic the Fighters
She was a beta character based on Honey from Fighting Vipers and wasn't playable in the actual game:
And the last one is Tiara Boobowski from the unfinished Sonic Xtreme
1) Maria (Shadow's friend from Sonic Adventure 2)
2) Honey the Cat (cut, then restored character from Sonic the Fighters based on Honey from Fighting Vipers) and Tiara Boobowski (character from canceled game Sonic X-Treme)
I didn't know who it was on the top right nvm
I'm getting a feeling no one play tested Encore mode. Flying Battery Zone has all kinds of goofy stuff happening. I lost 2 characters from falling down a pit, because it swapped over to the next character but then killed the next one and shoved me back to the checkpoint after losing 2. Also during the boss I lost a character because I'm trash, but the fight continued. But as I beat the boss I hit the spikes with no rings and it kicks me to before the boss.
I mean this feels rather inconsistent.

Thanks. Yes, that's what I was talking about. So that hasn't changed though? If you die you're back at the start? I heard that was frustrating on the bosses.
I see. He's awesome indeed. I really need to do a Mania Ray run.
Totally forgot I pre-ordered this for Switch. Loved the old games so I'm excited to give this a try.
