There is a Sonic Colors reference in Mania!

[Shark Bait]

There is a screen in Studiopolis that flashes the words "Good, Great, Awesome, Outstanding, Amazing" found near an item box, that is actually incredible. Here's a pic of it http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1129409786

Nice find.

I think it's not Colors in particular but just the point system in modern games in general

No, if it says "Good, Great, Awesome, Outstanding, Amazing" in that order, it's definitely a Colors reference.

It's a particularly memorable thing from Colors because of how over the top the announcer is, and how all you're doing to earn all this praise is tap A.

I found out about this before you, but its still a pretty neat reference.

Pressing A to get complimented is the best game mechanic.

Nice!

I wish we had a megathread with all the references, I guess the sonic mania wiki will do the job though

Sonic Retro's been doing lots of digging, too. They even got a list of a bunch of names for the enemies from the game files.

Why doesn't every game have that?
