Rockies 08/30/17 1:35:31 AM #447:	ColbyRasmus posted... Do Game Overs make you restart the whole game? That's how it worked in the old games. I never got close to a Game Over in Mania, but I'd be pissed if it made me start all over. Sonic 2 and its zero-ring final boss gave me dozens of game overs as a wee lad, which was the epitome of frustration. I meant they make you go back to the first act of the current stage, but that's still pretty stupid. I think that's actually how the old games worked, but you had to use a continue and if you ran out of continues, then you'd start the whole game over. With Mania they should have just made it so a game over takes you to the beginning of the current act. I've seen some complaints that still using lives at all is dumb, but I think that's too far. That Sonic 2 final level is bullshit. I'd play through that game so many times and fail to beat it every time, even when I was pretty old. When I finally did beat it, I just used a bunch of save states because I don't have the patience for that. Not only is no rings ridiculous, but the "safe" hitboxes on both bosses are very unclear (a problem that plagues a lot of the boss fights in the Genesis games). ColbyRasmus posted... I have two big gripes with Mania: they kept the 10 minute limit from the old games, while the levels are much bigger than the Genesis ones, which is stupid. If you want to explore at all, you are guaranteed a Time Over death in a few levels. Also, you turn into Super form when you double-tap Jump, so once you get all the emeralds, you can't fly or glide or climb or use shield abilities without transforming first, which is dumb. They are gonna patch that soon, though. They just shouldn't have a time counter at all. It was useful in the first two games when levels were short enough that you can actually get a significant time bonus (and I think if you got enough end-of-level points, you'd get a continue). It's been pointless since 3 when the levels were too long to get much of a bonus and saving rendered continues useless. Actually, I seem to remember 3 having continues, but I don't know how they work (maybe to stay on the same act?). --- As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball <cite>Rockies posted [p:885699549] in Sports Dis...
