I do believe this was the first track I heard from Sonic Mania. Boy, did it give me that Genesis vibes and immediately sold me on Sonic Mania. Strangely enough, it was Gregzilla’s video that not only informed me of Sonic Mania, but also exposed me to the track. His reaction in the video was … Read more

Sonic Mania has some really good music. I’m a big fan of the music they chose for the “final” boss fight with Robotnik. The reason why it’s in quotes is because, as I show in my playthrough of it, there’s a “true final” boss fight when you get all the chaos emeralds.
(Originally streamed on 9/9/2017)Time to grind out the remaining Chaos Emeralds. Which, in the process, I figured out a good way to also grind out some levels. Who knows how many I’ll need to get the “true ending” of Sonic Mania. That said, boy did these Chaos Emerald stages ramp up in difficulty towards the … Read more
(Originally streamed on 9/9/2017)I think this video had the most number of times of me going “that’s interesting!” or “that’s cool!” and genuinely meaning it. The whole background/foreground mechanic, shrinking mechanic, and the boss of Act 2 in Metallic Madness Zone was a really awesome mechanic that hadn’t been introduced yet in the game. However, … Read more
(Originally streamed on 9/9/2017)Back to back levels of fire levels. Now, I know Oil Ocean Zone wasn’t “really” a fire level, but you could set parts of it on fire. I was just super excited to hear Lava Reef Zone music again too. That said, I managed to find 3 more Chaos Emerald zones in … Read more
(Originally streamed on 9/2/2017)FUUUUUUUUU!!! I always hated Hydrocity Zone as a kid. However, this adaptation of it was done really well. I didn’t really fear drowning as much as I did as a kid. But, I absolutely LOVE the boss battles! The feeling of being able to use Robotnik’s same machine to defeat him is … Read more
(Originally streamed on 9/2/2017)Flying Battery Zone gives me so much nostalgia. Which is weird, because I didn’t get to it that many times. As a kid, it was really only Angel Island Zone and Hydrocity Zone that I would hit on Sonic 3. The further I get into these levels, the more I see aspects … Read more
(Originally streamed on 9/2/2017)You have no idea how giddy I was to finally play this game. Or, maybe you do… Regardless, it is so nice to play a “true” sequel to Sonic & Knuckles. I’m loving the bosses! I mean, play Puyo Puyo against Robotnik for a boss fight? Absolutely! That said, Sonic feels JUST … Read more
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! At the point of writing this, I am a couple weeks out from being able to play Sonic Mania. When this goes up, it’ll probably be right after my first stream of it. This is easily my most anticipated game of the year. Finally, a true sequel to my childhood 2D Sonic the Hedgehog … Read more
