No Super Emeralds in Sonic Mania.

[Alex17]

You all thought Sonic Mania is going to have Super Emeralds and Hyper Sonic?
I'm sorry. They're not adding it. (No Joke)

[Dolphman2261]

They have no real use, plot-wise. Not to mention they made the characters overpowered.

[Alex17]

It's funny cause Hyper Sonic became the most overrated Power-up in Sonic History. It's like SEGA themselves are just getting annoyed from the Fanboys wanting Hyper Sonic to return. But No no no no Nein. It's like something you see from a Anime Series where they get even stronger and stronger and stronger and stronger and STRONGER. It's like they don't want to do that. So let's go back to 7 Chaos Emeralds and back to Super Sonic we all grew up with.

I'm glad we are not having Chaos Emeralds either this time around. Let's hope they will bring something original.

But the special stages involve chasing down a UFO to collect a Chaos Emerald?

Well, the manual says Tails is getting a different energy source this time. The things to be collected in the Special Stages might be the chaos emeralds, but I think the game will focus on something else.

The super emeralds are not canon anymore. Thread closed

Super Sonic was already overpowered. Not including super emeralds does not fix characters potentially being overpowered.

Anyway, I don't really care about super emeralds, but a game of length comparable to Sonic 3 & Knuckles really ought to have more than just 7 special stages. 7 just feels like too few for a lengthy game with so many chances to enter and complete special stages in it.

I doubt they will be used as plot elements. Super sonic for the longest time has been usable in any stage once u have all 7 chaos emeralds. This is a tribute to the classics and besides super sonic would not be that overpowered so no biggie.

And here I forgot there was any difference between Super Emeralds and Chaos Emeralds, or Super Sonic and Hyper Sonic.

[ShinobuRaiu]

Nope, no more Super Emeralds....... Instead... UBER EMERALDS!!

[Ikagura]

The chaos and super emeralds were supposed to be a 100% bonus for the player to enjoy the game even after beating it (because there weren't any motives to get the chaos emeralds in Sonic 1 except for a bonus cutscene).

This should just be a bonus, nothing else story-wise.

So am I

We are getting the chaos emeralds and we are also obtaining a "new item" that is just as strong. That's what Iizuka said pretty much when Mania was 1st announced.

Not a fan of Super/Hyper forms tbh. I want a challenge.
