  • Hey guys! So sorry this video took as song as it did to come out! Today we will be analyzing the playable character system of Sonic Mania and why I think its design is so brilliant. Enjoy!
    Huge thanks to ​⁠@FCPlaythroughs for all the non-Sonic Mania footage I used, as well as ​⁠@DJMykah for the dope remix of Studiopolis Zone.
    Here’s the link to ​⁠@LiamTriforce’s video about Classic Sonic: • Why I Love Classic Sonic
    Thanks to all my subscribers for their support (and patientce because I last uploaded like 2 months ago 😂)

    Sonic is the best character overall imo, He has so many abilities which can make him suitable for a lot of situations. The drop dash, Peelout, and fire shield all enhance his speed, while the insta shield is more offensive, and the water and electric shield help in his verticality. He is just so finely tuned with most of his abilities serving a useful purpose over another (except Peelout, its not better than drop dash, not by a longshot).

      Even though Ray is my favorite to use, I do have to agree with you. Sonic (with the elemental shields) is perfect for any situation.

    Something I love to do with Mighty is use his Hammer Drop on slopes to build speed quickly and I think that’s just neat

      That’s a good point. I know I said in the video that Mighty’s hammer drop isn’t really good for building speed, but now that you mention it I do remember that some slopes mesh really well with his downward momentum and can channel his speed into the landing. I guess it does have some usages after all!

    You know, Mighty and Ray as characters are essentially just remixed versions of Sonic and Tails. Mighty is just Sonic fused with Knuckles, and Ray is just Sonic blended with Tails.

    You forgot that mightys hammer drop can by pass armored enemy's and can upon impact destroy enemy's in a short radius around him.

    Very great video! I really like how you made it feel like each character is overpowered in their won way. It really makes you think about all the different types of balancing devs have to do to make a good game.

    You should add some background music to these and make a video about sonic heros

    Thankfully with mods, I can restore Mighty's wall jump. And it works pretty well with Mania's level design.

      I didn’t know Mighty had a wall jump! It’s a shame that Sega took that out, would have really improved his design and made him more fun to play

      @lemoncakestudios3031  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks! I’d say that Amy (at least in her Origins appearance) would have a 3.5 for speed (since her hammer charge is a slightly weaker version of the drop dash) and a 1.5 for both platforming and exploration. Her extra moves might be great for killing enemies, but they don’t really gain her any advantages apart from that. She’s pretty much just Sonic but without the elemental shields. Thanks so much for the question! Now that I’m thinking about it, I should’ve at least mentioned her in my video.

    I’m making my own attempt on Sonic Origins.
    It’s called: Sonic: The Origins of Mania.
    It’s a combination of Sonic Mania and Sonic Origins.
    Playable characters:
    Sonic the Hedgehog
    Miles “Tails” Prower
    Knuckles the Echidna
    Mighty the Armadillo
    Ray the Flying Squirrel
    Amy Rose
    I decided to edit some levels and make a few levels less hard.
    And I replaced some levels with Sonic 4 levels. Because some words in zones can be repetitive.
    And some levels will be replaced with Sonic Mania levels.
    Sonic 1:
    Green Hill
    Sylvania Castle
    Spring Yard
    Lost Labyrinth
    Star Light
    Scrap Brain
    Final Zone
    Sonic CD:
    Palmtree Panic
    Collision Chaos
    Tidal Tempest
    Quartz Quadrant
    Wacky Workbench
    Stardust Speedway
    Metallic Madness
    Sonic 2:
    Emerald Forest
    Chemical Plant
    Aquatic Ruins
    Casino Night
    Hill Top
    Mystic Cave
    Oil Ocean
    Metropolis
    Sky Chase
    Wing Fortress
    Death Egg
    Sonic 3 & Knuckles:
    Angel Island
    Media Field
    Hydrocity
    Marble Garden
    Carnival Night
    Ice Cap
    Launch Base
    Mushroom Hill
    Flying Battery
    Salon Center
    Delusional Pub
    Magma Rock
    Coral Cave
    Sky Sanctuary
    Titanic Monarch
    Egg Reverie

      That sounds really cool! Is this a hack that you’re making or just a concept? If it’s in the works, I’d love to give it a try when it’s done!

    Unfortunately not had much time on mania. So far I don't really like ray (not used to his glide thing yet) and not sure how sonics drop spin works yet as usually tails or knuckles

    • @lemoncakestudios3031

      It took me forever to learn the drop dash too. I didn’t use it my entire 1st playthrough. All you need to do is jump, re-press and hold the button, and then when you land Sonic will drop dash. I’ve heard a lot of people say Ray’s glide is a little weird: when you jump, press jump again to start the glide, then press forward to dive down, and then backward to pull up. If you do this in a repeated pattern, Ray will glide up and down to gain speed in the air
