BRING BACK DUNKEY!
I call for the Dunkey easter egg to return to the game! It was a kind gesture and a neat little surprise on Sega's part and they had no reason to remove it. Who's with me?

Didn't Sega also remove mods? I just read a discussion about it.

Mod support is not even official, but a hack involving patching memory addresses, which change when the game client is updated and recompiled.
The Mod Loader developer needs to.once again find those memory addresses to patch.
There is a new mod loader available for the current patch (I don't have the link to hand) but mods are still very much a thing with Mania. There's just no "official" support for them. If SEGA were to authorise another patch (I highly doubt they will) then the current mod loader will no longer work.

Did you lose Dunkey on the console version? Your Steam account doesn't have a copy of this game.
The most popular method of loading mods involves a loader that patches specific memory addresses. Since it didn't employ pattern matching it had to be updated when version 1.03.0919 came out. The latest Mania Mod Loader is at https://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=37160
There is also the data folder method, involving extracting the contents of the .rsdk then deleting the .rsdk file. I believe this method still works, but results in a game that will fail the Steam game cache verification, possibly causing issues should a new patch be released.

Watch the video - either install the Codenamegamma mod or downgrade your Sonic Mania.
Find a hook in Hydrocity to hang from then press Left-Left-Left-Right-Right-Right-Up-Up-Up, you should hear a Ring sound.
Then find one of those boost devices and enjoy the easter egg.

okay thanks. I was trying to watch the vid but didn't really notice anything unusual except him going back to the hook and a "secret unlocked" ring sound and the rest looked normal to me

It changes the sound effect when you hit those boost devices in Hydrocity.

It's nice that we have a means of returning the Dunkey Easter egg, but SEGA should really bring it back out of principle.

The fact that theere was a "Dunkey" mode in this game almost single handedly stopped me from buying it. At least its gone now.

Then maybe you should have said it five years ago instead of necroing this thread

Even if it wasn't patched out, couldn't you just like... not play Dunkey mode?
