Soundtrack? Why yes Sonic Mania does have a good soundtrack, but most of it was just remixes of older tracks, not unique newly made ones, whereas Sonic 4, I'm pretty sure only remixed a couple tracks which are the unused boss theme from 3D Blast which was used in the boss theme, and some jingles like the act clear, drowning, extra life, etc being remixes from Sonic 1/2/3/&K. Despite the OST being pretty mid.
@@ninjafrog6966Okay sonic mania is a good game but with all the reused levels and amy not being playable doesn’t make a sequel, especially no new HERO characters like Amy being in the next game, tails being in the next game and knuckles.

OBJECTION! I don't understand why 99% of the comment section is random children hating on Sonic 4 just because Sega tried new physics and not the same dumb thing. It's not the same for some Classic Sonic games, I understand, the Classic Games must have the same physics, but this game gets alot of hatred for no reason. Shame, big shame.. Oh wait, maybe y'all don't like the homing dash? I might agree, but for Sonic 3 A.I.R there's a megamix movesets mod, it has a better homing dash. Don't respond with hate just because i'm trying to make this game get hated less, idc if it's been a few years I'm just really annoyed by how people are hating on this game, Sega ignores them and that's good.
Casino Street Act 3 - Casino Climax is a nightmare. Pixel-perfect homing attacks and bumpers that require you a perfect jump. Lost nearly 10 lives on this act.
How was it great?

Can't comment on Episode 2 but it just seems mediocre.
No it suck. Horrible physics, horrible level design, rehash of level themes and boss fights, only 4 zones and the same Sonic 1 special stages??? The awful instruments of the music is just the icing of the cake. Sorry excuse of a sequel to literally the best game in the series...
