New gameplay footage of Knuckles in Mirage Saloon from Polygon, in 60FPS

Looks like they've got some gameplay with Sonic+Tails in the same level as well

EDIT: I noticed that it's Act 2 for both videos, but Knuckles starts in a different location, like in S3&K.

Thanks to Eblo for the link.
Keep in mind that this video showcases the stage rather than playing through it.
Now we have something else besides Studiopolis to listen to~

Also
OH
MAH
GAWD

Spoiler

SONIC 3 1-UP JINGLE!

Those Brue Brue Skies doe.

[Seik]

Holy crap the gameplay and music is so fucking ON POINT.

 

[Triforce141]

Mirage Saloon's music... Spring 2017 is so far away... cannot wait for this, and the Switch.

 

[Nibel]

Soundtrack has been amazing so far

 

[Ultimadrago]

No Commentary? Thank goodness!

[GhostTrick]

OMG THAT CRT FILTER UGGGGGHHHHHH :O"""""""""""""""""""""""

 

[Death Insurance]

That music is so good...

 

[yoonshik]

 

[Masterspeed]

This is everything I've ever wanted for a Sonic game.

 

[nschizo]

This sh*t looks amazing!!! Day 1 for sure!

 

[rockmanjoe]

Looks so polished. Can't wait to play it!

 

[Ferr986]

Why this game looks and sounds this good?

Also, before someone comes screaming, the CRT filter is optional.

Check out a few minutes of Sonic and Tails gameplay in Sonic Mania's new Mirage Saloon Zone, played using the game's just revealed

Spoiler

CRT filter mode

.

 

[mcmmaster]

That whistle though...

 

[valkillmore]

That FUCKING gameplay y'all! ! The music!

 

[Lijik]

that morricone style whistle pushes the track to the next level

 

[SgtCobra]

The music, yesssssssss

 

[Ferr986]

The music, yesssssssss

 

[PMS341]

You know, I recently plugged back up the Genesis after pulling it from my mother's attic - still had all my S3&K saves too. Might run through those again soon.

Mania is looking absolutely wonderful, and I have quite a bit of confidence in it. Need a release date!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

This looks better than anything Sega has worked on for the past two decades.

I will consider this the true sequel to Sonic and Knuckles, and not that abysmal Sonic 4.

 

[LordKano]

Holy crap.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Also, I came in on the reveal a skeptic, but this is really shaping up, I must admit.

 

[Stevey]

Can't wait, everything about this looks so good.

 

[Eidan]

Goddamn, the sprites look amazing.

Now I patiently wait for Sonic fans to tear this game down.

 

[Ferr986]

Goddamn, the sprites look amazing.

Now I patiently wait for Sonic fans to tear this game down.

Why? I didn't see any Sonic fan tearing this game down yet, and I doubt anyone will. This is the most Sonic looking game in a very long time.

 

[Peltz]

The faux scanlines actually look pretty nice. I'm digging the look of this game.

Too bad we'll never get a true 240p option. But this is a good compromise.

 

[Gemeanie]

Finally, Sonic 4 is here

Spoiler

It looks really good so far. Probably gonna day 1 this

 

[ChamplooJones]

Every thing about this game is looking and sounding great!

 

[MrBadger]

Looks like they've got some gameplay with Sonic+Tails in the same level as well

EDIT: I noticed that it's Act 2 for both videos, but Knuckles starts in a different location, like in S3&K.

Oh shit, good catch! I wonder if the bosses are harder as Knuckles as well

 

[GiantBreadbug]

It looks and sounds amazing. Have they talked about it coming to Switch at all? I imagine they might be saving it for the Switch Presentation.

 

[mrmickfran]

Christ Almighty these levels are huge.

I'm talking Marble Garden huge.

You know what I just noticed?

NO FUCKING PITS

 

[Tizoc]

Christ Almighty these levels are huge.

I'm talking Marble Garden huge.

You know what I just noticed?

NO FUCKING PITS

And the ones that are there just lead to alternate paths

 

[NZerker12]

I need this game NOW!!!

Knuckles looks really good although he is a bit too pink for my liking at this rate Super Knuckles is going to end up being normal Knuckles but flashing white instead of bright pink flashing white. Also it was quite painful watching whoever was playing as him .

 

[AuthenticM]

ok, now I'm sold.

 

[CrashPrime]

Further proof that CRT filters at 1080p are gimmicky at best, awful at worst.

The game itself tho? It looks stellar.

 

[Mr.Fletcher]

The music is awesome. I can't stress how much I dig it.

No franchise does music as good in my opinion.

Hydrocity, Flying Battery, Chemical Plant, Green Hill, Marble, etc.

The list goes on and on and on.

 

[TreIII]

Christ Almighty these levels are huge.

I'm talking Marble Garden huge.

NO FUCKING PITS

Take THAT, Dimps!

 

[Insolitus]

Christ Almighty these levels are huge.

I'm talking Marble Garden huge.

You know what I just noticed?

NO FUCKING PITS

The level design is looking like some of the best in the series.

 

[AuthenticM]

If there was a category labeled "Game With The Most Love That Went Into It" during the end-of-the-year awards, this game would win it.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I need this. Wow.

 

[BitStyle]

The music for these new stages have been ON POINT.

 

[Goo]

Truly the game the Sonic franchise deserves. I can't wait to play this. That scan-line filter is spot on for these graphics.The animation of the characters is really well done.

 

[TI82]

This game just looks so awesome. What made Sega want to do good Sonic games again?

 

[Why would you do that?]

I don't even like classic Sonic very much (outside of maybe Sonic 3 and CD) but I am getting pretty hyped for this game. That music is truly something else.

 

[Tizoc]

This game just looks so awesome. What made Sega want to do good Sonic games again?

Part taking the L, part realizing they can do what Nintendon't.

 

[skypunch]

This game is gonna get 10s across the board.

 

[TI82]

Part taking the L, part realizing they can do what Nintendon't.

 

[Chezzymann]

Any word on how many brand new stages there are? I hope theres at least 5

 

[Azure Phoenix]

It's like Sonic CD and Sonic 3 had a beautiful child together...... oops, I just pre-ordered the Collector's Edition. Please, if there is any justice in the world this needs to utterly crush Sonic 4 sales wise.
