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).

I think I know basically nothing about Mania. Should I be interested in it?

Also, I feel like we've discussed before how much total fucking bullshit the Sonic 2 final boss is. That's still the only reasonable opinion on that level, tbqh.
