Is that heat wave effect in Lava Reef Act 1 new? If so is it an Encore mode change or part of the 1.04 update?

I really hope Angel Island is a full playable zone but I get the feeling It might just be a short transitional stage for Encore mode.

I can't believe Sonic Mania is going to be GOTY again.

Please tell me these are going to be available in the UK because I need them.

Looks like I'll be buying this game a 4th time.

I find Forces soundtrack to be entirely forgettable, much like the game itself. The music in the classic stages is just intolerable though and doesn't even suit the theme of the stages, with Death Egg being the worst offender. The only song in the game I actually enjoy listening to is the White Jungle remix, and I can't even give Forces full credit for that one.

Did I miss it or was there not a Metropolis stage for Classic Sonic?

I wouldn't say hyped but I was intending to buy it once it was revealed because I thought it would just be an improved Generations. I think I will just buy Mania again after this stream though.

There are going to be people unironically calling Mania a rehash while claiming Forces is a brand new experience™. You're still going back to Green Hill in this game by like the 20th stage.

Who knew the true ending to Mania was actually the bad ending.

This is just a re-skin of the Metal Sonic fight. Good game.

Disappointed there wasn't a shot of the resistance forces beating the shit out of Shadow, mistaking him for one of the illusions.

The music in the Classic stages is just atrocious and doesn't fit the theme at all.

After watching these streams I'm crossing my fingers that the game itself is an illusion.
