Sonic mania pc game1/30/2024 ![]() ![]() Act 1: A robot with balls of spinning goop as a defense.Act 2: The Egg Walker from Sonic 2! Get close, wait for it to shoot out its arms, avoid them then use them as a platform to hit the Walker’s head.Avoid them when they’re red and hit them when they’re not. Other than Achievements or just bragging rights there’s no real purpose in getting Gold Medals, or Rings, since you can unlock Extras with just Silver Medals. What’s the difference between Gold and Silver Medals? You get a Silver medallion for finishing the stage by getting all the Blue Spheres, but you get a Gold if you’ve collected all the Rings in the stage first.Any hints? Just one: creating a line around a square or rectangular block of Blue Spheres, even if half are already Red, will turn all the Spheres into Rings – saving you a lot of time.Fire Shield! Protects you from fire and allows you to do a forward fireball attack.Bubble Shield! Stops you from drowning and allows you to bounce!.Lightning Shield! Attracts rings, protects against electricity, and allows you a double-jump!.And even then there’s lots to unlock through the tough Bonus Stages! And how about Time Attack? Or just play through the game again as Tails, who can fly, or Knuckles, who can climb? Mania’s a lot longer than you think… You won’t get the true ending, and real final boss, unless you get all the Chaos Emeralds from Special Stages. Just because you’ve seen the credits doesn’t mean it’s over! It’s very unlikely that you’ll beat Robotnik/Eggman at the end of Titanic Monarch Zone and be completely done with the game, despite the end credits rolling.Either you’ll lose your place or you’ll find something nice. ![]() You may not be able to see what’s below, or you’re running down a steep path, but sometimes the only way to get rewards is to leap out into the unknown and hope for the best. Yes you can run through the levels in the way you’re being shepherded, but then you’ll miss out on secrets, power-ups or just all the alternative paths. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith! General 2D Sonic advice here.If you’re going to play Sonic Mania, don’t stop playing until you’ve seen the next level! If you stop playing on Act 2, or heaven forbid lose all your lives and die on the final level boss, you’ll have to start again at the start of that level’s Act 1. Each level comprises two Acts with a boss at the end of each. The game only saves at the start of levels, not each Act! This is an important point as most people probably found this out the hard way. ![]() But if you’re having trouble with a boss, be prepared to lose your Rings… then use the brief invulnerability to score a free hit! Just, er, remember to pick up some Rings afterwards. Remember: as long as you have a single ring, you can’t die… unless you get crushed by something or trapped in a shrinking space, or drown, or hit the 10 minute timer, then you die instantly. Sonic 101 - always have at least one Ring on you at all times.
