My guess is that Sonic/Knuckles/Tails will be launched out of Hydrocity by a water pillar and Tails will catch Sonic/Knuckles (and Sonic will catch Tails) on the Tornado after the transition. If you're playing as Sonic and Tails, only Sonic will be launched up and Tails will take a backway to get to the Tornado.

I also really don't understand how sonic and tails exit little planet to titanic monarch, dont understand these transictions, this doesnt have a Phantom Ruby effect
6 років тому+9
Oh now I understand, titanic monarch is a scrapped zone in sonic CD, and the sonic mania ending see the cinematic the litle planet chains are broken that rly made sense! titanic monarch is a new scrapped zone in little planet
Brian Kennedy The Tornado was on Angel Island, and Hydrocity is also located there, it isn't that difficult to make the connection of how they got into Mirage Saloon.
0:58 Dat armadillo be like "Nope!" Also, nice of them to show Little Planet and the Titanic Monarch. Chances are that these cinematics really ARE just a simple update based on player feedback.
Its exactly what they are! To make sure everyone updates the game so Online mode can work propely, they include these goodies so everybody updates. The same happened years ago with Mortal Kombat 9
It also seems like they planned on adding this before but cut it evidence to this can be seen in the lava reef zone having a huge lava pool before the intro and some of the cut sprites I wonder if in the complete plus if they will make egg reviere bigger
This isn’t Sonic Mania Plus, this is just a free update meant to go along with the REAL Plus. I recommend taking it away from the title and thumbnail since you're reaaaaaaly clickbaiting right now
Mike Shoe It literally is a fact, because on the menu there’s an option to buy “DLC” with an ad for Mania Plus with “Ray, Mighty, Encore Zones, and more!”. This is the UPDATE that we’re seeing, as they didn’t have to pay for it, and there’s nothing that says Mania Plus besides the menu ad.
It's actually a reference to the actual final boss of Sonic CD called Final Fever that Whitehead planned to add, but scrapped due to some problems. Along with Dust Hill Zone, it's added in Mania as a Zone.
I mean, this was an accidental patch release, so maybe they're still working on that airplane transition bit? Not that i wouldn't be excited for a new zone, it just seems a bit weird to add a new zone now.
I'm glad that they're doing more with Titanic Monarch Zone. Like, c'mon guys. You can't just make a giant robot and not have us fight it. My hope is that they turn Sonic's Titanic Monarch Act 1 into another Tornado level, where Sonic and Tails take to the skies and fight the robot to make an entry inside, while Knuckles gets his own Act 1, more akin to what it is now, but changed up a bit to make use of his special abilities, in a mission to scale the robot all stealth style almost to find a way inside.
Cool that they included all these new level transitions and I'm surprised that the boss fight with Metal Sonic has been given a major revamp, being chased by a spiked wall while fighting Metal Sonic was a bit underwhelming to be honest.
I don't care what you're thinking As you turn to me 'Cause what I have in my two hands Is enough to set me free I can fight the feeling To resist it over time But when it's just too much to take You sneak up from behind Is it me You say you're looking for Let me show you who I am And what I'm here for Try to reach inside of me Try to drain my energy Let me show you just what I'm made of Simple curiosity Tries to take a bite of me Let me show you just what I'm made of Now
HandsomeZack I have some instructions for you. 1: Buy a scrabble game. 2: Eat the pieces that have letters on them. 3: Find the strongest laxatives you can. 4: Eat/Drink them. 5: Send me a photo of what it says And I'll guarantee, that whatever you shit out will make more sense than that.
Whoa, can't believe I missed this. This is a really big improvement. Hydrocity to Mirage Saloon is still really abrupt though, and I feel that Lava Reef to Metallic Madness could still afford some more connective tissue (despite the awesome new ascent in the Heavy Rider background). I love the introduction to Titanic Monarch.
Metal Sonic Kai? Thanks for the creepy memories. Someone remembers when he was a menancing final boss instead of being THIS weak? Also the Super Ring makes him red but the Phantom Ruby makes him blue? Good thing here he can't make that creepy bad ending were he just burns everything.
Metal Sonic Kai was *always* a pushover. The only thing that he had going for him in _Chaotix_ was that he was big and red. Still nice to see him again, though.
Dr Robotnik they could have made him better. It lasts only 10 seconds 0:41 - 0:51. It's pathetic if you ask me for a robot that burned everything in Knuckles Chaotix. I even liked the previous normal Metal Sonic boss.
Don't know how to feel about the Hydrocity-Mirage Saloon transition. Also, interesting to see them bring in that one mech. I remember people talking about how it's the largest model in the game's file and surprising went unused.
0:35 Sonic heroes! I don't care what you're thinking As you turn to me 'Cause what I have in my two hands Is enough to set me free I can fight the feeling To resist it over time But when it's just too much to take You sneak up from behind Is it me You say you're looking for Let me show you who I am And what I'm here for Try to reach inside of me Try to drain my energy Let me show you just what I'm made of Simple curiosity Tries to take a bite of me Let me show you just what I'm made of Now
Anyone else find what happened to Metal Sonic to be pretty disturbing. I mean, he's right out GONE this time. Not blown up/destroyed, he freaking disintegrates!
pommybomber oh, trust me, he will come back. They will have him hide himself while he repairs himself if they have to. Besides, he's showing up in episode 2 of Mania Adventures.
When I saw the updated version of metal's boss, I smiled, I was waiting for metal sonic kai to come back, nice to see the change to blue, since this is in the past, mabye it's like a forshadow of metal overlord? Idk, but it's really cool (Edit) after looking twice, nice to see the unused model of titanic monarch make it in on the stardust speedway transition
In the base version of the game, the two first tentacles that would be destroyed would be the ones on the floor. That meant that you could cheese the end of the fight by spindashing the boss to death, since there was no way you would hit the two tentacles on the ceiling. With the update however, it's the two tentacles on the ceiling that go first. That means that you cannot spindash into the boss anymore since you'd go headfirst into the two tentacles on the floor, and you now have to jump carefully in order to hit the boss. so yeah, that makes it slightly harder :p
The94Venom I think it could be easier since it was hard for me to hit him in the bottom and once the eggbots appeared made the game hard for me took almost my lives
For all of those confused, this isnt sonic mania plus version, its just an update that accidentally got leaked on PS4 for a couple of hours. Its real, but its not the actual plus version.
Took you so long to make stage transitions huh? Anyways this is way better. No... THIS IS HOW THE GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. How can you make it without stage transitions???
Nice, they changed the last phase against Metal! This phase always was like: "Yeah... whatever..." and dying was almost impossible, cause the rings were pushed with the moving wall.
Se han añadido transiciones a los Stages que no estaban presentes en el original, lo dejo muchísimo mas pulido y le dio un sentido de como llegan los personajes a esas Zonas. ¡Ver el regreso de Metal Sonic Kai fue una verdadera maravilla y un hermoso guiño a Knuckles' Chaotix! Gracias por este resumido recopilatorio de las novedades Ash
Exactamente eso lo de las transciciones era necesario por que no se sabria como diablos sonic pasa de stardust speedway a hidrocity zone o flying battery zone a press garden zone Realmente el plus ha arreglado varios errores y incluirnos cosas bastantes buenas sonic mania lo hizo de nuevo:D
Does anyone noticed the hang glider sonic and tauls used at the beginning is the same one in the sonic 2 game gear box art?? Just a nifty info right there
nice but they kinda missed the point with some of these transitions. The inbetween level cutscenes ares supposed to explain how the characters transition from one level to another, having a wall blow up in Hydrocity and then having the characters randomly appear in Mirage Saloon doesn't really explain how they want from an Underground Water Palace to a barren western desert.
How tf would the titanic monarch actually be a boss though? XD the gargantuan machine is a 2 act zone ffs. It would honestly make more sense to change up the phantom battle body or whatever eggman uses in that zone to face you, cause that armor seems to be the heary of the monarch
Am I the only person that does not understand the SSZ to HCZ transition because the death robot would indicate you are going to a place like death egg and while there is LBZ close by, Robotnick is at HCZ.
All of these are good. I especially like the OVA reference (Tails is afraid of lighting). However, I do have 2 complaints and one question. Why did they have to bring back Metal Sonic Kai from Knuckles' Chaotix? That's not a question. It just brings up aggravating memories. 😂 The transition from Hydrocity to Mirage Saloon could've been better. Maybe Knuckles could have broken that wall to free Sonic and Tails. As for my question, is the Heavy Rider battle now on an elevator or something...?
Sky Blailock Answer For Metal Sonic Kai: Because it looks so cool! Answer For Heavy Rider: Think of the platform as a Final Destination type stage except it launches and goes to Little Planet
Then HOW DID THEY GET ON THE TORNADO AFTER? maybe the path led to angel island's beach and the tornado was there so they got on to it and flew to mirage saloon
Actually. I believe that is the rocket from Sonic 3 (& Knuckles too.) From Launch Base Zone when it tries to launch the Death Egg again only slightly modified as you see with the motor course and maybe also how the rocket launches faster. But that would also kinda explain why you see the Launch Base Boss. (The one where you had to hit Robotnik several times to knock off pieces of his Mini Rocket.) In the back ground and also I belive the Death Egg as well
so this update you can only fight metal sonic as titian metal sonic from knuckles chaotix and you can no longer see nack, bean or bark in the opening of mirage saloon is this what the update has like i cant battle metal sonic the original way in this game ever again!
All of you are complaining about the Hydrocity-Mirage Saloon transition, but I think we can agree Tails and Sonic didn't go RIGHT there, they obviously had to find Knuckles and get the Tornado first. Highly doubt that was just lying around.
Metallic madness makes less sense, titanic monarch though is on the ground so he can actually run to it, which i assume is exactly what happened, its the hydro city mirage saloon and lava reef metallic madness ones that were confusing
What I think they should've done with HCZ's transition is have sonic, knuckles or tails wait at the Tornado and then have them fly off, it wouldn't explain how the Tornado got there but it would explain how we got to MSZ. (Tho I wonder how any of the cutscenes would play out with Ray and Mighty.
4:43 tails scared of lighting
Sonic ova reference
I love the reference, but... would the "& Knuckles" Mode's Knuckles do the same? I mean, they're pretty much in the same spot.
Now all we need is knuckles' hat.
"AHHHHH! IM AFRAID OF LIGHTING!!"
I was just about to say that
Kyle the average UA-cam commenter and Sonic Boom reference
The Hydrocity - Mirage Saloon trasition is still pretty shaky, but that aside these are really cool amd appreciated
Brian Kennedy It's probably incomplete.
My guess is that Sonic/Knuckles/Tails will be launched out of Hydrocity by a water pillar and Tails will catch Sonic/Knuckles (and Sonic will catch Tails) on the Tornado after the transition. If you're playing as Sonic and Tails, only Sonic will be launched up and Tails will take a backway to get to the Tornado.
I also really don't understand how sonic and tails exit little planet to titanic monarch, dont understand these transictions, this doesnt have a Phantom Ruby effect
Oh now I understand, titanic monarch is a scrapped zone in sonic CD, and the sonic mania ending see the cinematic the litle planet chains are broken that rly made sense! titanic monarch is a new scrapped zone in little planet
Brian Kennedy The Tornado was on Angel Island, and Hydrocity is also located there, it isn't that difficult to make the connection of how they got into Mirage Saloon.
0:58 Dat armadillo be like "Nope!"

Its exactly what they are! To make sure everyone updates the game so Online mode can work propely, they include these goodies so everybody updates. The same happened years ago with Mortal Kombat 9
Rolly polly
It also seems like they planned on adding this before but cut it evidence to this can be seen in the lava reef zone having a huge lava pool before the intro and some of the cut sprites I wonder if in the complete plus if they will make egg reviere bigger
SONIC: look is the Phantom Ruby
enemy: nope
Antdude wanted transitions, he gets transitions.
Doom Demon Well, pretty much everyone complain about the level transitions. Not just AntDude.
Not to mention RadicalSoda
Plasmatic Turtle And SomeCallMeJohnny.
Trimint Pikachu and Cybershell
Doom Demon
We all wanted transitions dumbass. The story doesn't make sense without them...
Awwww tails is scared of lighting like the ova
Spawnshell Love that movie
All the way to the part where Sonic flips off Robotnik...
Good now they have an explanation of how the hell we got to press garden
and hydrocity
Now all that needs to happen...is N E W Z O N E S
chocolate cake I think he meant new zones in the game.
chocolate cake I mean new zones such as Quartz Quadrant, Hill Top, etc. But maybe they could add original zones.
I also hope they add a new final boss. I hope it’s that huge robot at 4:45
that "giant robot" is the entirety of Titanic Monarch Zone
Sinoc the Hodgeheg I’m hoping that after the standard final boss, you fight the titanic monarch itself
This isn’t Sonic Mania Plus, this is just a free update meant to go along with the REAL Plus. I recommend taking it away from the title and thumbnail since you're reaaaaaaly clickbaiting right now
Axaneryzo ,so plus digitally is not free?
PownicMania5000 No, Plus is not free for any platform. It’s a paid DLC.
Axanery,damn! -Shadow
Axanery I think the same thing, but don't say it as fact, we don't really know
Mike Shoe It literally is a fact, because on the menu there’s an option to buy “DLC” with an ad for Mania Plus with “Ray, Mighty, Encore Zones, and more!”. This is the UPDATE that we’re seeing, as they didn’t have to pay for it, and there’s nothing that says Mania Plus besides the menu ad.
Admittedly, these definitely look patchy, but some of this I genuinely laughed about. Like that stupid slug in SSZ.
SSZ?
Deku, "stardust speedway zone" ssz
Jared Burk sonic turning to the camera after knuckles fell off the plane is genuinely hilarious
Smonkk that was his waiting animation
Da King I am aware they are real. But some look pretty last minute. Like they were an afterthought.
My favourite Sonic game just got better
yep
*favorite
Project S.S.G he spelled it correct you spelled it wrong
Vegito Gaming & more No I didn't dumbass, Search up Favorite on Google.
Favourite =English
Favorite = American
Tails jumps in fear of the lighting... OVA REFRENCES
I think that this is just a general reference, because Tails has the same fear in _Boom,_ and it's stated in his profile in _Sonic Jam._
Aztyph interesting... but i think in boom it was a reference because he did exactly what he did in the OVA ( aka jump in sonic’s arms )
Oh, Titanic Monarch is shaped like a Death Egg Robot... the ending makes a lot more sense to me now.
its also in the backround of titanic monarch 1
Titanic Monarch = Egg Chicken
I didn't even realize that TMZ was actually a giant death egg robot, I thought it was just egg fortress #4728
It's actually a reference to the actual final boss of Sonic CD called Final Fever that Whitehead planned to add, but scrapped due to some problems. Along with Dust Hill Zone, it's added in Mania as a Zone.
I think the reason why hydrocity to mirage saloons transition makes no sense could be a new zone inbetween
it may be unfinished. but i may get it. the wall blowns up, creating a tunnel that leads to mirage saloon but they didnt show the tunnel
Hydrocity is in angel island so maeby it is on top of mirage salon
I mean, this was an accidental patch release, so maybe they're still working on that airplane transition bit? Not that i wouldn't be excited for a new zone, it just seems a bit weird to add a new zone now.
JNS Studios they are adding angel island zone so that may be inbetween hydrocity and mirage saloon
Theo Snowball thats exactly what im thinking
4:43: Tails is afraid of lightning!
Sonic OVA reference!
Bringing this up to 3 if you count the Robot Generator in the Metal Sonic Battle, and Tails' Headgear while riding the Tornado.
Jesus christ that its a very great detail
Isn't the Death Egg Robot thing kind of a reference to Metal Robotnik as well?
+Daniel Serio You have it backwards. The Egg Destroyer Battlesuit from Sonic 2 was way before the OVA was a thing.
They added that Tails was afraid of lightning
I'm glad that they're doing more with Titanic Monarch Zone. Like, c'mon guys. You can't just make a giant robot and not have us fight it. My hope is that they turn Sonic's Titanic Monarch Act 1 into another Tornado level, where Sonic and Tails take to the skies and fight the robot to make an entry inside, while Knuckles gets his own Act 1, more akin to what it is now, but changed up a bit to make use of his special abilities, in a mission to scale the robot all stealth style almost to find a way inside.
Then it be sonic ATS all over again.
Ayyy now the last phase of the Metal Sonic Boss can't be cheesed in base form! Thank God!!
2:18 Apparently the submarine can fly😐
Someone didn't play Knuckles' Chaotix xd
DASH596 I'm 16
BluCappedDawg I... hem... happy birthday?
BluCappedDawg The submarine is made by Robotnik, OF COURSE IT COULD FLY!
BluCappedDawg I'm also 16. I own a Sega Mega Drive and a Sega Saturn. I've also played through and thoroughly enjoyed Knuckles' Chaotix.
YES STAGE TRANSITIONS IM SO HAPPY
Cool that they included all these new level transitions and I'm surprised that the boss fight with Metal Sonic has been given a major revamp, being chased by a spiked wall while fighting Metal Sonic was a bit underwhelming to be honest.
*Sees original final phase of Metal Sonic* "Eh, could be better." *Sees new one* "Woah,woah woah..... JEEZ MY GOD IT'S BEAUTIFUL."
0:38 Insert WRYYYY Sound Here
*MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA*
I don't care what you're thinking
As you turn to me
'Cause what I have in my two hands
Is enough to set me free
I can fight the feeling
To resist it over time
But when it's just too much to take
You sneak up from behind
Is it me
You say you're looking for
Let me show you who I am
And what I'm here for
Try to reach inside of me
Try to drain my energy
Let me show you just what I'm made of
Simple curiosity
Tries to take a bite of me
Let me show you just what I'm made of
Now
Crush 40 sucks, and that's a reference to Knuckles Chaotix rather than Heroes
HandsomeZack I have some instructions for you.
1: Buy a scrabble game.
2: Eat the pieces that have letters on them.
3: Find the strongest laxatives you can.
4: Eat/Drink them.
5: Send me a photo of what it says
And I'll guarantee, that whatever you shit out will make more sense than that.
Cool
Was expecting some Infinite thing... Oh well!
Metal Kaizer is back! 💕
Whoa, can't believe I missed this. This is a really big improvement. Hydrocity to Mirage Saloon is still really abrupt though, and I feel that Lava Reef to Metallic Madness could still afford some more connective tissue (despite the awesome new ascent in the Heavy Rider background).
I love the introduction to Titanic Monarch.
Phantom Metal Kai Lol. I love the Chatoix Reference
Metal Sonic Kai? Thanks for the creepy memories. Someone remembers when he was a menancing final boss instead of being THIS weak? Also the Super Ring makes him red but the Phantom Ruby makes him blue? Good thing here he can't make that creepy bad ending were he just burns everything.
Metal Sonic Kai was *always* a pushover. The only thing that he had going for him in _Chaotix_ was that he was big and red. Still nice to see him again, though.
Agustin Leguiza they made the boss easier because he's not the final boss in the game
Dr Robotnik they could have made him better. It lasts only 10 seconds 0:41 - 0:51. It's pathetic if you ask me for a robot that burned everything in Knuckles Chaotix. I even liked the previous normal Metal Sonic boss.
Don't know how to feel about the Hydrocity-Mirage Saloon transition.
Also, interesting to see them bring in that one mech. I remember people talking about how it's the largest model in the game's file and surprising went unused.
THEY ADDED IN METAL SONIC KAI OMG YES
Joseph Wilson but it's easy kind of disaponting in my opinion
I think this version of Titan Metal Sonic is scarier than the original.
Joseph Wilson I just hope they keep part of the original fight in, it was very fun and I'll be sad to see it go.
They only replaced the easy peasy spike wall race, the first half is still there (the one with the tiny silver sonics and the race)
Never enough Knuckles Chaotix references!
4:43 Aah, I'm afraid of lightning!
Lol that Chaotix reference makes sense
So now that unused Lava Reef section is used, and so is the robot model. Nice!
Great, The New Transition is Added.....
So glad and Major Changes in Bosses including Metal Sonic & Heavy rider.
I love the Sky High reference at the end of Flying Battery.
1:25
I have no clue how I noticed this, but they added a completely new falling animation during the beginning of hydrocity zone. Just look closely.
I like how the 3D model for that Death Egg Robot was actually used now.
Honestly, I think this is a much needed update, especially those cutscenes, they make the zones and story a bit more clear
Finally we got some proper inbetweens for some of these stages!
0:35 Sonic heroes!
I don't care what you're thinking
As you turn to me

Omg I love how tails jumps at the lightning strikes
When its the update I can't wait any longer 😆
Anyone else find what happened to Metal Sonic to be pretty disturbing.
I mean, he's right out GONE this time. Not blown up/destroyed, he freaking disintegrates!
pommybomber oh, trust me, he will come back. They will have him hide himself while he repairs himself if they have to. Besides, he's showing up in episode 2 of Mania Adventures.
Yeah, they can always repair/rebuild him, perks of being a robot I guess, but still this new animation is just... wrong somehow.
Wait metal didnt die. I thought he blew up, untransformed, and did the same death animation as the one in CD
That new Metal Sonic fight looks really cool.
THAT KNUCKLES' CHAOTIX METAL SONIC THO
When I saw the updated version of metal's boss, I smiled, I was waiting for metal sonic kai to come back, nice to see the change to blue, since this is in the past, mabye it's like a forshadow of metal overlord? Idk, but it's really cool
(Edit) after looking twice, nice to see the unused model of titanic monarch make it in on the stardust speedway transition
wait is that mean titanic monarch is inside the giant robot 4:44
3looshy yes
3looshy The final cutscene shows that
What happened to titanic monarch
Will there be a new boss?
Crispy13 no
There is a minor change which makes the Phantom Egg slightly harder.
The94Venom what is it?
In the base version of the game, the two first tentacles that would be destroyed would be the ones on the floor. That meant that you could cheese the end of the fight by spindashing the boss to death, since there was no way you would hit the two tentacles on the ceiling.
With the update however, it's the two tentacles on the ceiling that go first. That means that you cannot spindash into the boss anymore since you'd go headfirst into the two tentacles on the floor, and you now have to jump carefully in order to hit the boss.
so yeah, that makes it slightly harder :p
The94Venom I think it could be easier since it was hard for me to hit him in the bottom and once the eggbots appeared made the game hard for me took almost my lives
I want this on Switch so badly...
the mega ultra sonic plush destroyer how
the mega ultra sonic plush destroyer says the furrie who plays fnaf
hackman86spacEDUst nice lol
I want this on PC 😥😣
the mega ultra sonic plush destroyer fnaf fanboy
For all of those confused, this isnt sonic mania plus version, its just an update that accidentally got leaked on PS4 for a couple of hours. Its real, but its not the actual plus version.
Took you so long to make stage transitions huh? Anyways this is way better. No... THIS IS HOW THE GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. How can you make it without stage transitions???
0:14 that was used for a picture for the sonic 2 by the sega of america
I love that they made tails jump from fear at the lightning
Nice, they changed the last phase against Metal!
This phase always was like: "Yeah... whatever..." and dying was almost impossible, cause the rings were pushed with the moving wall.
gliders in the first few secs and that sound effect at 1:53 are 100% master system sonic 2 reference!
i like it. makes the world feel more connected
Se han añadido transiciones a los Stages que no estaban presentes en el original, lo dejo muchísimo mas pulido y le dio un sentido de como llegan los personajes a esas Zonas.
¡Ver el regreso de Metal Sonic Kai fue una verdadera maravilla y un hermoso guiño a Knuckles' Chaotix! Gracias por este resumido recopilatorio de las novedades Ash
Y ahora devuelta al estudio. Juan
Mendigo armadillo robot, casi toman el rubí.
Exactamente eso lo de las transciciones era necesario por que no se sabria como diablos sonic pasa de stardust speedway a hidrocity zone o flying battery zone a press garden zone
Realmente el plus ha arreglado varios errores y incluirnos cosas bastantes buenas sonic mania lo hizo de nuevo:D
Aunque parece ser que es muy sencillo
wut
Does anyone noticed the hang glider sonic and tauls used at the beginning is the same one in the sonic 2 game gear box art?? Just a nifty info right there
Wow, nice. Pulling some assets from Knuckles Chaotix.
That metal sonic boss wow great refrence to knuckels chaotics
Have they changed the switch icon yet!?
4:14 this reminds me of that meme where they change someones face that looks weird and scary with a high pitched sound
Wait a second, the entire Titanic Monarch Zone is Sonic basically running on top of a massive robot?
_Awesome._
0:13 Sonic 2 SMS/GG Reference
0:38 Metal Sonic Kai (Knuckles Chaotix)
nice but they kinda missed the point with some of these transitions. The inbetween level cutscenes ares supposed to explain how the characters transition from one level to another, having a wall blow up in Hydrocity and then having the characters randomly appear in Mirage Saloon doesn't really explain how they want from an Underground Water Palace to a barren western desert.
Update was leaked early so its likely that its not finished yet.
It’s a western desert casino
ok didnt really ask but ok
No. Remember sonic 3 they left the tornado at Angel island and went to pick it up
They parked the Tornado on the island before getting warped to Green Hill.
You know what I can say about press garden it's literally just mushroom Hill zone but all covered in snow and they're not mushrooms
I still don't know how Knuckles ended up with Sonic and Tails or when they found the Tornado, but the rest of the transitions are really good.
0:38 *(starts playing "what I'm made of...")*
The legit Metal Sonic Kai!
Nice sprites but still not strong enough :v
Bubonic SoS Is tHaT A JojOs refReNce?
How you get that?
That hydro city one doesn't explain how they got on the plane
0:58 badnic: *Nope!*
The epic just got legendary.
Does Knuckles have any differences
0:59 armadillo: I DID SOMETHING!
the transitions I always wanted!
[Sonic Heroes flashback intensifies]
The metal sonic boss design is a reference to knuckles chaotix
reference to sonic ova cd on the titanic monarch cutscene when tails gets scaried with thunders i think
I sense a sonic game gear reference with the hang gliders in FBZ...
I just hope they add the tails animation for chemical plant and the titanic monarch as a boss
DASH596 From what I heard, they did!
How tf would the titanic monarch actually be a boss though? XD the gargantuan machine is a 2 act zone ffs. It would honestly make more sense to change up the phantom battle body or whatever eggman uses in that zone to face you, cause that armor seems to be the heary of the monarch
Fusion Wing ok ok sorry D':
0:38: Wow the Phantom Ruby made Metal Sonic into a monster.
I have a feeling that the heavy racer fight was in the death egg because doesn't that platform look similar to the one while fighting big arms?
Am I the only person that does not understand the SSZ to HCZ transition because the death robot would indicate you are going to a place like death egg and while there is LBZ close by, Robotnick is at HCZ.
All of these are good. I especially like the OVA reference (Tails is afraid of lighting). However, I do have 2 complaints and one question.
Why did they have to bring back Metal Sonic Kai from Knuckles' Chaotix? That's not a question. It just brings up aggravating memories. 😂
The transition from Hydrocity to Mirage Saloon could've been better. Maybe Knuckles could have broken that wall to free Sonic and Tails.
As for my question, is the Heavy Rider battle now on an elevator or something...?
Sky Blailock
Answer For Metal Sonic Kai: Because it looks so cool!
Answer For Heavy Rider:
Think of the platform as a Final Destination type stage except it launches and goes to Little Planet
Then HOW DID THEY GET ON THE TORNADO AFTER?
maybe the path led to angel island's beach and the tornado was there so they got on to it and flew to mirage saloon
The "elevator" for the Heavy Rider battle has actually been sitting underneath the arena, now it's finally used.
Actually. I believe that is the rocket from Sonic 3 (& Knuckles too.) From Launch Base Zone when it tries to launch the Death Egg again only slightly modified as you see with the motor course and maybe also how the rocket launches faster. But that would also kinda explain why you see the Launch Base Boss. (The one where you had to hit Robotnik several times to knock off pieces of his Mini Rocket.) In the back ground and also I belive the Death Egg as well
Sopper Van Hout But you get my point
I hope hydocity get a better cutscene because they don't explain the tornado or how they find knuckles
Update was leaked early so its likely that its not finished yet.
I found strange lava reef to metallic madness, for real it is floating lava reef boss fight, I really dont understand!
Zoe comigo se você puder I think they got on a rocket that went straight to Little Planet.
Hydrocity is under Angel Island.
The Tornado was parked on Angel Island.
Does this make sense to?
so this update you can only fight metal sonic as titian metal sonic from knuckles chaotix and you can no longer see nack, bean or bark in the opening of mirage saloon is this what the update has like i cant battle metal sonic the original way in this game ever again!
Ali Bafahmi You only see Bean, Bark, and Nack at the end of act 1 for the cutscene, not beginning
Ali Bafahmi The original Phase 3 was really bad so... THEY MADE IT BETTER!
be honest i cant fight metal sonic in the original way ever again in this game
Both are really easy, this one is just more epic.

They only got rid of Metal Sonic’s last phase. The race and silver sonic section are still intact.
All of you are complaining about the Hydrocity-Mirage Saloon transition, but I think we can agree Tails and Sonic didn't go RIGHT there, they obviously had to find Knuckles and get the Tornado first. Highly doubt that was just lying around.
I really like this buildup with the egg robot. I hope it becomes more than the GHZ Act 2 Boss.
Bruce Shankle The GHZ boss is the Death Egg Robot. The giant robot you see everywhere else is Titanic Monarch.
3:18 *in the background the new death egg zone...*
Guess il be playing a complete playthrough sonic mania again 😁😁😁
What if the boss changes are encore mode?
1:12 hey... isn't that the wire frame for the unused "death egg" robot?
omg the titanic monarch is much badass now
4:40 - 4:58 Wow... I think you can actually *feel* the EVIL in the air.
HOLY FUCK THE METAL SONIC FIGHT HAS CHANGED
4:43 “AHHHHH!! I’M AFRAID OF LIGHTNING!!!!”
ok im confused how does looking at little planet automatically take you there, same with looking at titanic monarch
Metallic madness makes less sense, titanic monarch though is on the ground so he can actually run to it, which i assume is exactly what happened, its the hydro city mirage saloon and lava reef metallic madness ones that were confusing
Probably just ran up the chain again.
There is an unused chain sprite, so perhaps they'll use that when the update is complete.
It's to indicate where there headed.
Jesus
I like how tails gets scared because of the lightning
What I think they should've done with HCZ's transition is have sonic, knuckles or tails wait at the Tornado and then have them fly off, it wouldn't explain how the Tornado got there but it would explain how we got to MSZ. (Tho I wonder how any of the cutscenes would play out with Ray and Mighty.
