After update: Metal Sonic battle

[WeeHawky]

You can now hit the little deals/guys that come out and they shoot out in 4's in an X pattern ? Before I was having to just wait till they spin dash and shove them in to metal sonic..


edit 2: andd now he has a chaos emerald and different second part?? dafuq

edit 3: FYI : I'm talking regular Mania mode.

[Seraphita]

I assume the changes with Mania plus fixed a couple of things at random. I seem to remember that I had to wait as well before I spin them all over the place. I don't know yet what changed...

Edit: It's the Phantom Ruby, that was the entire Premise of Sonic Mania; perhaps you ought to pay more attention.

Also the Second half of the fight is a reference to Knuckles Chaotix; as most of Mania Plus is.

Why did they change it? It's way easier now.

[Seraphita]

Why not, though? Do you really need the game to be difficult for it to be fun? o.o

Because they wanted to incoporate more ideas into the game. The Kaizer Metal is actually a bit trickier if you aren't paying attention, as you can accidentally fall off the cliff after hitting him. The Reason it feels easier is because Ray, Tails and Knuckles can easily break the boss using their aerial abilities.

The Boss has references to Knuckles Chaotix (Kaizer Metal), Sonic 2 Gamegear/Master System (The Bomb attack he uses) and Sonic and Knuckles (the fight itself is a reference to Dr. Robotnik's Death Egg Robot's second phase).

No , just seemed alright the other way.. Not sure why they changed it is all.

Considering that even I managed to finish the game before, I'd say it was acceptable the way it was. But ehh... I guess they decided to change it anyway. So what can we do about it...? =/

It's not bad with a partner character like Tails, that can hit him.

I didn't liked the change! The second part where you have to wait for those little white Sonics spindash to hit him was one of my favorite parts and now you can hit them almost any time and they will hit him very often, also it takes less hits to finish the part 2.
The new part 3 fixed the easy way to beat Metal Sonic which was getting hit by the spike wall and never lose rings but the fight itself it's kind of meh now! I really liked the pre Mania Plus Metal Sonic Boss Fight, it was one of my favorites, now it's just meh.
TBH I would rather having it the way it was but with the addition of a 4th stage which could be the Phantom Ruby Gigant Metal Sonic thing.
At least I would like to have an option on some menu to choose which Metal Sonic I would rather fight! Maybe someone releases a mod in the future...who knows!

It was made easier because younger players probably would've had a problem understanding that "why can't I damage it? I'm hitting the things it spawn and dodging it's attacks". It's a cool phase but I don't mind the change at all.

How is this easier? You almost had to try and die before. This thing forces you to an instant death if you start jumping on it.

I had a weird instance were like, 3-4 of those little guys dropped down from the top all at one time. I presume they came down after I hit them up there and just disappeared.
