SaysWho? Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Whenever I talk about Sonic Mania to fans of the series, there's a sizable portion who think it's the best Sonic with impeccable level design. The levels always felt good, but this video does a really good job comparing the original Flying Battery to the one in Mania and what Mania does to make it a far better level. Not a long watch, but an informative one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember falling in love with Flying Battery when I played S&K, but the video really does do a great job deconstructing how much more agency the new design gives you (no more elevators) and how much better it is at teaching you about the traps and enemies.

Keyser_Soze Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It's good because Sega didn't design it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the 11 minute video was just the guy saying this and then the rest of the video was the beginning of a Seinfeld episode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I enjoyed Sonic Mania, but it just reinforced to me that I don't find the series to be all that good in the first place. Remove my nostalgia for Sonic (the art style / music / entire package), and give me that game brand new, I would feel a little ripped off. Add in my nostalgia and I'm like, hey yeah cool they did it. I remember this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
