How many Zones do you think Sonic Mania's final release will have?
Luke Thompson
15
Chase Diaz
At least 4
Connor Barnes
The game will never be out. Even if it was out there will never be enough seed.
Brody Cox
Probably about 9 or 10.
Matthew Hernandez
9
Mason Cox
21
Brody Peterson
Not enough.
Nathan Morales
Did you ever make it here without Team Chaotix?
Nathaniel Sullivan
More than 3&K.
Carson Young
Didn't Iizuka say Sonic Mania would have more zones than any classic Sonic game? Even assuming S3&K doesn't count as one game, Sonic 2 has 11 zones.
Robert Kelly
11*
Nathaniel Allen
I hope that's true. Just thinking about it is making my testicles tingle.
Mason Martinez
>post yfw Iizuka lied & we've already seen all the stages for Mania
Colton Smith
yeah you needed to find a switch earlier in the level, right?
Easton Bennett

Bentley Sanders
I've never even seen it until this picture. Isn't that the area that's blocked by a laser grid? How the fuck do you even disable it?
Jordan Thompson
I don't want to jinx it but knowing Taxman, I'm sure we're in for some holy shit moments that they've been keeping from us. I mean how many of the heavies have we seen, two?
Luis Brown
As Team Sonic or Dark there is a switch you have to press to disable the laser gate. The locations are different for those two teams, but they're both on pinball tables and very difficult to spot. You can also abuse invincibility frames from damage along with the Rocket Accel to bug your way past the lasers.
As Team Chaotix, you can just go invisible with Espio and walk through the lasers. Team Rose's level ends before this section appears.
Nathan Young
Mario and Sonic at the Rio Olympics actually has some pretty good dialouge.
Dylan Gutierrez
52
Liam Campbell
I never put much time into exploring those stages because the pinball physics are so infuriating.
Anthony Diaz
Golden Rodent
Jace Carter
Post some more pls
Dominic Carter

Joseph Gomez
Classic Sonic is fixing everything by himself.
Nicholas Miller

Jace James
Besides the awkward phrasing, it's a sweet conversation
Juan Cooper
>tfw she said classic Sonic >I thought this was generations
What the fuck has this series done to me?
Matthew Turner
...
Leo Morales
fantastic
Charles Morris
Rio had fantastic music. Do you have any favorites, user?
Mason Sanchez
The phrasing is weird but I think she's trying to say it's typical of Sonic to run off alone. Not gonna lie, it does sound like she's talking about Classic Sonic.
Wyatt King
>mfw there's at least 20 zones
My dick might actually explode.
Jordan Carter
Fuckin saved
John Cook
Not in particular but I did enjoy the soundtrack as well as the gameplay. It was one of the better olympic games.
Xavier Carter
Y-You take that back...
David Murphy
FORCES WOULD BE A BETTER GAME WITHOUT YOU. YOU ARE MEANINGLESS.
>I'm surprised no one tried to use this in argument to seriously "prove" shadamy is canon.
We're not that deluded. We just like triggering Sonamyfags.
Christian Miller
>implying shadow gives a fuck about romance or sex He just wants to be left alone.
David Howard
Sonic looks cute when he's crying like a bitch
>We're not that deluded Well, some of you aren't.
Jonathan Jackson
I don't care about shippings but Shadow and Amy form an nice original duo
Daniel Parker
What does /sthg/ think of RadicalSoda?
Colton Hughes
So is he a tranny or what? Why the thumbnail clickbait.
Luis Harris
Who?
Christian Campbell
This. I just can't see him caring about that stuff, which is why I don't ship him with anyone.
Jack Sanders
Apparently his previous thumbnails looked like girls and people kept bringing it up, so he just turned his artwork into a girl to mess with people.
Benjamin Reyes
Who?
While I've never gotten the appeal of ShadAmy as a pairing, I do like some of their interactions in Universe. Amy having nice little friendships with Knuckles & Shadow is pretty neat.
Joseph James
Yeah, I like it as a friendship type of deal. Otherwise, her heart belongs to Sonic.
Robert Thompson
Why does his thumbnail avatar have boobs?
Jace Torres
Maybe Shadow just wants to beat Sonic in one domain and then realized he couldn't be back alone anymore
Ryder Clark
...
Kevin Lopez
>Maybe Shadow just wants to beat Sonic in one domain But he's already more powerful than Sonic. Besides, he has Rouge & Omega. That faker isn't alone
Jack Thompson
Huh?
Samuel Nguyen
...
Blake Reyes
That's gonna be used so much, I can already tell
Nathan Sullivan
Forces seems to be getting a lot more negative impressions lately.
Benjamin Powell
I wonder how good or bad previous Modern games were received in the months leading up to release. It feels like the co-existence of Mania has sparked some debate.
Oliver Sullivan
Casuals are trying in vain to force another Lost World, nothing biggie
Caleb Martin
Well, between the inclusion of Classic Sonic, it being a Modern Sonic game in a time where the "Sonic was never good meme" is popular, & certain sections of the fanbase not really caring for Boost, it's not surprising. That being said, looking at YT the Forces vids have more likes than dislikes & vids like the one that shat on Forces that was posted a few threads back has been disliked to hell. I think when it's all said & done, the game won't be "another 06 or Rise of Lyric or worse than both," but it will be a game that people either like or don't.
Samuel Young

Jackson Allen
Doing a search on Colors preview impressions, they were pretty positive on the game.
Nathaniel Lee
Tails, you are his BEST FRIEND.
You can see him AT ANY TIME.
Justin Evans
Tails gay for Sonic confirmed?
Joseph Gonzalez
Classic Sonic kicked him out of the Best Friend And Sidekick title.
Wyatt Butler
Makes sense. People went crazy for daytime Unleashed stages, and I remember the marketing for Colors going 'we're making a full game out of it.'
That's kinda cute. He meant as competitors. Don't ship the bromance user.
Grayson Long
Reminder that SEGA loves hinting at Sonamy. Just look at these tags from a post on the official tumblr.
Ethan Gomez
>Tails is nervous to see Sonic It's official: Tails is gay for Sonic.
The most recent Sonic game that would probably have similar reactions to Forces, I would say is maybe Unleashed. While a lot of people loved the Boost in that game, there was a ton of people shitting on it for the Werehog.
Daniel Powell
I never liked how Shadow, Omega, and rouge we thrown into the whole Gun plotline in the comic.
It felt like Flynn barely had an idea of what to do with them so he put them in a box.
Matthew Martinez
Loot at that smug rat. How dare you take Tails' place!
Colton Flores
Mania is gonna be significant, solely because people will compare the two titles. As happy as I am to get Mania soon, I think it would've been a better move for it to be announced after Forces dropped.
Cooper Green
>Implying they aren't best ship
Oliver Campbell
he's just a dumb fanboy. >they looked at each other so they must be gay back to tumblr
Connor Flores
For anyone here not in the know, Lange is currently in a /v/ thread answering questions about Sonic Utopia.
Jaxon Robinson
not even a shipper but Sonic and Tails makes a whole lot more sense especially comparing to other Sonic gay ships and is definitely better fitting than Sonic and Shadow
Blake James
ok
Thomas Gonzalez
I think a big reason for the comparisons is because as soon as Mania dropped, they revealed that Classic will be teaming up with Modern again in the then Project 2017. Sega's gone on about how the two games are meant to appeal to different groups of the fandom, but Forces is clearly trying to appeal as broadly as possible, including the people who are targets of Mania. So the whole 'two cakes' deal has put the multiple kinds of play styles Sonic has had over the years back into the spotlight.
Samuel Diaz
it's just the most powerful friendship in vidya history
when i was a kid and beat sonic 2 i thought it was such a cute ending
