Re: Revenge of the nerds
Also, the translation by sth2k didn't mention that this is Eggmanland. Is this the first occurrence of that name? The earliest one I have is SA1. It first popped up in the Sonic Ova (which Sonic Team supervised), so Sonic Labyrinth must predate it. Perhaps Eggmanland was part of the Sonic series bi...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=j84oub7OWeA ^ A fun little fan made video about Amy in Sonic Mania. I know including a playable Amy would probably be outside of the game's budget (especially if they do her properly and make her a slower paced character), but I hope she does make a bi...

Episode 2 is out and it's just as brilliant as the first one. There's a couple of Mania Plus spoilers at the end (apparently). I don't want the game spoiled so I skipped the credits.

Re: Sonic Mania Plus [Spoiler free thread]
I'm glad they seem to be making special routes for Ray and Mighty. Multiple characters have failed in virtually every game since Sonic 3 &K, because they either just act as skins or they have their own routes which are too short. They certainly seem to providing a lot of content for a $5 upgrade, so...

Re: Revenge of the nerds
Well, I always lumped the Chaos Emeralds and all those floating platforms as magic. But they probably should be more accurately be classed as other phenomena (as you have).

It's probably an alternative continuity Sticks. While the badger hasn't appeared in any games (outside of a non-story appearance in Runners and the olympic games), she did have an episode in the official Sonic Team web comic, which furthers suggests that she's part of the universe. Although with Iiz...

Ian Flynn mentions that Sticks is considered part of the main game series. His comments tie in with Sticks Runners' profile, which also mentioned that she was a friend of Amy.

Sonic Mania Plus [Spoiler thread]
So it seems Sonic Mania Plus has been released by accident on PS4, long before Sega even released a single screenshot.
Let's keep all spoilers in this thread, at least until a few months after the game has been released proper. Take care to use spoiler tags in other threads.

Re: Get ready for apathy
Mega Play for Sonic is a nice touch. But the Switch was made for the Taxman/Stealth version. It would look wonderful on the Switch's lovely widescreen. Not to mention they could add in a 2P mode to work with the Switch's detachable controllers and probably even port over Ray and Mighty (although I a...

So the announcements are in: -Sega's releasing its own Mega Drive mini.

Angel Island is seen floating on the Advance 2 level map and also appears to be floating in Advance 3 (and in the Sonic Shuffle ending credits). In Runners, it's mentioned that Knuckles keeps the Master Emerald in a special temple so he can go on his adventures. The game isn't clear (nor my memories...

Re: Sonic 2018
Sorry, I phrased my last post poorly. I meant I wished they had kept the style of Mighty's shoes for Ray (e.g. with 1 stripe), but just changed the colour to blue. For me, Classic Tails colour scheme worked better as the red of his shoes didn't stand out much when placed next to his orange fur. Plus...

Re: Sonic 2018
I'm glad they dropped the red of Ray's shoes, because it clashed too much with his skin. But I wish they had kept the design of Mighty's shoes to keep a link between the characters.
