Wait I can use one big ring for all 7 emeralds if I do this after beating the game?m, did I understand correctly? How's that possible? The giant rings go away after trying it once right?Best way IMO is beat the game, and then do the Special Stages using the stage that has a ring closer to the start (for example, Green Hill act 1).
My fav ones are the Sonic CD ones btw, provided you play them in the remake with proper framerate.
I hate the blue sphere. At least Sonic Mania's versión of it is impossible for me and takes way too long. And good luck trying to find the last few blue spheres only to make one small mistake and you're out. I don't remember if the Genesis version of blue spheres were particularly different. UFO chasing I had more fun than all previous Sonic special stages combined.
You can do blue spheres from the Extra Menu?Blue Spheres>Mania's UFO Chase>Sonic 3D Blast's (Saturn)>Sonic 1's >All other iteration of the half-pipe.
I really enjoyed Mania's, but Blue Spheres will always be the king, imo. Every time I play Mania, I spend like a good 30 minutes in the extra menu doing Blue Sphere stages because I find them that fun to play.
I only have like 4 medals. I'm terrible at blue spheres.Yeah, if I remember correctly, you unlock it after getting 32 medals (either gold or silver). There's also two variations of it: regular style and Mania style, the latter of which adds new gimmicks, like green and purple spheres.
I will always have a special place in my heart for the Saturn special stage of sonic 3d blast. I know it's another half pipe, but it's just so damn poppy, the music is great and they are actually fun to do

That's so much better than me exiting the game and going back to try again and having to try a different one after getting an emerald! ThanksYes but once you beat the game, all rings respawn every time you load a stage. So you can use the nearest ring in GHZ1, beat it, reload and you'll have it up again while keeping the emerald you got before. If you fail you have to reload too but that's why you keep trying the closest one from the start,
Aside from Mania, Sega buying Atlus was IMO the best decision the company ever made. Still coming to terms over Persona/SMT being Sega IP now.
Most of the good ones already got mentioned, but I'd like to throw in a bit of a dark horse (original character do not steal) of Sonic 4: Episode II. It starts off as a nice-looking but unoriginal remake of Sonic 2, but then starts mixing it up with the bumpers that can take you to secret tracks, the timed ring challenges, and continuing the team-up theme of the game with a ribbon power-up that stretches between the two, letting you grab all the rings between.
The only problem I have with it is that the last special stage requires some serious use of the ribbon to proceed, which is easy enough in co-op, but in Single Player you have to really coax the AI player's movements, since it's mostly just echoing Sonic's movement.
Its the other way around, they used the Special Stage music for the menu in the remake. The original game didn't have a menu it was literally just a couple options on the title screen lolCD's were too confusing and the music for those stages sucked (it was just the menu music).

All that comes to mind is that the intro is loosely similar to Theory of Attack from Runners, and that's probably a coincidence.Can anyone tell if the Frozen Junkyard track is a remix from a known stage in the series ? I feel like I've heard parts of it before.

New Japanese trailer, doesn't really have anything new though.
Also, I still don't get why they're marketing this game with the slowest speeds.
Now that you mention it, I actually don't think that's been confirmed. I looked through some of the clips and some seem faster, but I can't really tell.Are we sure there are multiple speeds? Has it been confirmed? I sure hope so...
I believe i remember a video of the devs strait up saying that there will be different difficulties and the higher ones are faster.Are we sure there are multiple speeds? Has it been confirmed? I sure hope so...
Dragons actually were his gimmick in Lost World. He rode on top of one for a boss fight and his levels featured them.Zavok:Road Dragoon....I don't know man. Dudes barely a character. Dragons it is I guess.
Oh im awareDragons actually were his gimmick in Lost World. He rode on top of one for a boss fight and his levels featured them.
Some of these might be different over here. I distinctly recall hearing that Vector's car name was the Tailgator over here.on the Japanese website, there is a list of the cars names
Sonic: Speed Star .Ok , alright. He's the OG main character play on speedster. Fine nough
Tails: Whirlwind Sport: I like this, makes it sound like tails built his own car. I like to think tails built his team's cars
Knuckles: Land Breaker. Shi Ra DIIIIIHHH
Shadow: Dark Reaper.... I uh. Ok. That's hilarious. Shadow's bike is named Dark Rider. Maybe he just names everything he owns Dark "__" . Well with the customization feature and that name, maybe we can get a ghost rider type skin
Rouge : Lip Spyder. Cute reference to a real life brand of car, her car looks like. Could have been bat spyder but I guess its either lipstick or the fact that the front of her car sticks out due to the heart shape.
Omega: Cross Dozer .... I don't get it but ok. I guess like motocross plus bulldozer? But that doesn't make any sense because the technique cars are the ones who can go on dirt. But I geuss like with knuckles's car the theme is being big and tough even though... they can't drive off road.
Amy: Pink Cabriolet. Pink Convertible.... that's uh... that's real imaginative.
Chao: Chao Pod..... Amy's team bastion of creativity.
Big: Frog Cruiser.... well it was either a froggy or a fishing reference.
Vector: Beat Monster. Sick name for a car, probably listened to cool music in his cool car
Silver: Lighttron. Unless I'm missing some lore. I assume because its glowing and looks like something from tron.
Blaze: Royal Chariot. She's a princess, fancy car. Make sense.
Eggman: Egg Booster. Kinda makes it sound like a giant metal booster seat.
Metal: Formula M. Because he's metal.
Zavok:Road Dragoon....I don't know man. Dudes barely a character. Dragons it is I guess.
Yeah it was confirmed. I believe the higher speeds were even playable at events because I remember people discussing it a lot. Well, that and how the framerate was not looking too hot.Are we sure there are multiple speeds? Has it been confirmed? I sure hope so...
That's true!They're not great by any stretch of the imagination, but I actually have something of a soft spot for Triple Trouble's special stages.

Oops, forgot to include the video:
Oh im aware
I just have nothing to say....dragons
That's it. I didn't think much of it then , i don't think much it now did nothing as far as characterization went.
It would be like zeena having a snow car, i get it.... I just got nothing to say
I mean, if Shadow gets brownie points from "dark" in the name, we at least get to give Zavok some credit for consistently being a scalie.Oh im aware

I don't know how I endured that bonus stage music :/
At least he has one of the prettiest level on Sonic Lost World with top tier music as well
Its less brownie points and more I think that shit is goofy and halarious, you know what you right. I shouldn't kink shame zavokI mean, if Shadow gets brownie points from "dark" in the name, we at least get to give Zavok some credit for consistently being a scalie.
