    I like how he just casually skipped over the new special stages that the encore mode offers which is more challenging compared to the main Mania mode and also ignores the checkpoint bonus game that's way more fun that the blue spheres.

    I don’t understand what this line means. She only was a damsel in distress 2 or more times. CD and SA1 comes to mind, and Riders too.
    And the only other times she was a “damsel in distress” was when Sonic’s world or timeline was in danger. Sonic Prime, Sonic Lost World, and Sonic Generations comes to mind. Which even then, I don’t count as everyone was in danger, not just her.
    So this line doesn’t make sense as she already became more independent a long time ago.

    this is Sonic Mania Plus *SLANDER* and I will NOT stand for it.
    Encore Mode is much, much more than just stage recolors while adding Mighty and Ray - it has new, harder Special Stages; a new checkpoint mini-game that's a pinball machine; a game mode which has Continues which jells perfectly with the aforementioned pinball machine; some new pathways for Mighty to take; and even a BRAND NEW ACT for Mirage Salloon ACT 1 which is EXCLUSIVE to the Encore Mode - and that ACT? that ACT is probably the best Sonic stage that I've EVER played and probably WILL play.
    could it have been better? yes, not even the best things are perfect: I would've preferred a brand new campaign with other returning levels and some new ones sprinkled in - I would've done it in reverse of how Sonic Mania did [4 levels from Sonic 1, 3 levels from Sonic 2, 2 levels from Sonic CD, 2 levels from Sonic 3 and 1 brand new level for Encore Mode] akin to how the Special Stages are reversed in this game mode.
    ...but I also REALLY like how Encore Mode is a GREAT way to play the entire game again with a new, unique spin on it. it's a palette cleanser for Mania Mode when you're tired of it, and it's actually one of the many reasons I have 1000+ hours in Sonic Mania.

    • @mehiloll

    . 2 Great New Playable Characters
    . New more challenging Special Stages
    . The New Checkpoint Mini-game
    . A new colour palette & slightly redesigned levels
    For $5 that’s not bad! I’ve seen much worse cost much MUCH more!

      ​@@TokuWafflethe final boss is bad(it barely explains anything) the 2nd trial is also bad, knuckles glide pre-patch is very wonky, Tails and Knuckles have a couple of attacks that wastes 1 to 3 seconds every time you start them, the cyclone can skipp everything, you dont rly have to explore any non-mani story stuff, knuckles has some weird issues climbing walls, you have to grind to be actually able to fight the miniboss in a reasonable amount of time, Tails doesn't have a homing attack, the towers are very flawed, the king master trial is one of the worst things ever in the sonic series(wyvern wastes so much more, in the fight and before) and you have to parry 1 to 2 seconds before it looks like they will hit you. Also, having to go back to the tower to change characters, 4-B kinda sucking near the end with the falling platforms, the pop-in being even more egregious here, and you still can't skip the cutscenes!!

    Also, I don't blame you for the Final horizon opinion. I personally loved it, I think the new playable team sonic felt very nice to play, the new music is fire, the platforming challenges and cyberspace stages a red hella fun, and that final boss is pure hype. But I can see where you're coming from. But what I don't understand is the thoughts on the characters. Knuckles? EVERYONE is with you on that, he should've gotten more combat moves than Sonic. But Tails and Amy? Have you ever seen them throw hands? How are they supposed pull off combos like sonic with a hammer, tarot cards, a blaster, a pair of tails and a few wrenches? I don't see you posing any suggestions to back up your claims

Sonic Blast on the Master System came only in Brazil and maybe thats the reason why so many people dont know about that. (and yeah, I know I sound like a nerd but just wanna mention it. Sorry XD)

      Was waiting for someone to point this out, actually.
      The Sonic Blast Master System port was not published or developed by SEGA from my understanding. It was done by TecToy. The port is very half baked and I’m not even sure if they’re allowed to use it. That’s why I neglected to mention this.

    Aside from you sounding like modern Scott The Woz with transitions of yelling or being sarcastic every 5 minutes, the video was interesting to watch!... Except for you bitching about Update 3. Like yes, I agree it's hit and miss (and I also had mental breakdown in Master King Trial), but I feel like you were overreacting most of the time. Hopefully if I meet your video in my algorithm next time, you'll have less of yelling. Best of luck!

    I can only say my opinion for Mania Plus since I’ve played it fully. I like the Encore D.L.C. The addition of Mighty & Ray was the greatest thing the Encore D.L.C had to offer. Though I do think they could’ve added Amy as another additional playable character.
    The Encore Mode is mediocre as it doesn’t alter too much. It could’ve done so much more. Angle Island Zone was disappointing, it’s just a much shorter version of Act 1, boring. The new aesthetic for things like Green Hill Zone and Chemical Zone, Hydrocity Zone, Mirage Saloon Zone, Oil Ocean Zone, Act 1 of Lava Reef Zone looks great, every other zone looks bad though, ugly color pallets. I think they should’ve made remixes to fit the new aesthetics. Imagine a more warm sounding Sunset Green Hill Zone and it should’ve been in the game?
    I think it would’ve been better if the Mania Plus team changed some act’s aesthetic in Mania Mode: like make the sunset theme for Act 2 of Green Hill Zone, darker blue for Chemical Plant Act 2, gold color of Hydrocity Zone Act 2, night setting for Act 1 of Mirage Saloon Zone, and more lava effects for Act 1 Lava Reef Zone.
    There should’ve been a new final boss in the Encore Mode, instead, there’s a little celebration ending after beating Eggman again…that’s it…boring.
    I never bought Sonic Origins cause I already have 1,2 and C.D in my phones, and after hearing all the complaints, and the unreasonable price, I decided not to buy it, even with the new updates, there’s still new problems.
    I got the Frontiers D.L.C and was forced with the updates installed. The game itself is kind of boring and at worst, annoying with the levels, stiff and janky physics. The additions were boring and I haven’t finished the Final Horizon, I don’t find it fun. Also I hate how the player has to complete new challenges that I forgot what they’re called in each island to unlock Spin Dash. Fun to played but not worth it after being frustrated with the jankiness of the controls and level designs.
    That’s all i'll have to say.

    I definitely think Mania Plus is better than Origins Plus, especially given the price.
    Mania Plus gives you two fun new characters and a decent extra mode, just for $5. You might not play or even like Encore mode much, but Mighty and Ray alone make paying $5 worth it IMO.
    Origins Plus gives you only one new character, the ability to play as one of the base characters in one specific game when he was already playable in all the other games, and a bunch of Game Gear games, all for double the price of Mania's DLC. I view the Game Gear games in the same way as Encore mode; they're neat but not something you're gonna play too much, only they have less value than Encore mode since you can easily find alternative ways of playing these games. You're mainly buying Origins Plus for the new character, but you're only getting one as opposed Mania Plus's two, and Amy just isn't very unique compared to Mighty and Ray. Honestly, they should've included Mighty and Ray with Amy, that would've made the price more worth it. Oh yeah, and as for Knuckles in Sonic CD, I can accept that not being there at launch. It *should've* been there at launch, but I can accept it not being there at launch. It should've just been a free update, but the fact you *have to have the paid DLC* to play as Knuckles in Sonic CD is just so shitty. Knuckles is playable in ¾ of the games in the base collection, but you just have to pay a fee to play as him in one specific game for no good reason. It pisses me off. And again, this DLC is TEN DOLLARS! This would've been a downgrade from Mania's DLC even if it was the same price, but with it being double the price? I honestly can't understand how you could say this is a better deal.

    I feel it was dishonest of you to claim people were being unreasonable about the audio and lag problems by only mentioning the very obvious ones or just trying hard to downplay the issue. Like the Sega intro being bitcrushed or game lagging when they were too many sprites on screen. Ignoring the real complaints people had like the mono audio or the audio some times while playing just getting flat out corrupted or just not playing at all. Then the input lag the emulators had and the random lag spikes that would happen that wouldn't happen on the original.

    • @XPool

      I forgot to mention the audio issues. I mention them in the patch section, but I genuinely did forget to mention the issues at first. However, there were genuinely people complaining about the quality of the emulation outside of the slight latency that were genuinely unreasonable. Unfortunately, the one understandable issue was the one I neglected to mention until later. I am sorry.

    So I played Sonic Mania (Plus,) and I love it. Encore mode wasn’t terrible, since the level design in the base game was so good, but the lives system really detracted from the experience for me. I think for 5 dollars, the DLC is worth it. You get Mighty and Ray as playable characters, new special stages in Encore mode, and Mirage Saloon Act 1 (Encore Edition.) So if your planning to get Sonic Mania on PC, sacrifice the 5 extra dollars
