Ep 66: A Tail for a Tail [Sonic Mania]

Right now, Titanic Monarch is a rough level to play. I find myself fighting the non-intuitive pathways until I randomly navigate myself to the boss fight and die. I was prepared to die a lot for this game, and each time Sonic kicks the bucket, it’s true I die a little on the inside. (Admittedly, it gets easier each time.)

But for all my frustration on this one particular stage, I love everything else about this game. It’s nostalgic as hell and having Player 2 jump in as Tails is the best. Trading off the controller between Player 1 and Player 2 is equally the best… even when Player 2 eventually drags Player 1 onto some spikes (or whatever) on purpose. It’s all for fun and is the most enjoyable Sonic game I’ve played in many, many years.
