As you all know, you gain the power to become Super Sonic,
Super Knuckles,
and even Super Tails in Sonic Mania.
For the most part, where Sonic and Knuckles represented their Super states correctly,
Tails' Super form seemed... a little inadequate.
Where's his Flickies to?
Aren't they meant to be circling him and warning off predators on his behalf?
Well, if we're going by Sonic 3 & Knuckles' theory,
the fox is meant to be in possession of the Super Emeralds for that honour,
so we're going to have to live without the true Super Tails...
That is until now!
CodenameGamma has released a brand-new Sonic Mania mod,
I say brand new, he wanted me to try it out a month ago but you know, not having time sucks,
that makes our dreams become a reality.
You can now cruise through the platformer with Tails' bodyguards by his side.
But is it really as exciting as it first seems?
Or did the original developers of this game make the right choice?
Well, let's give the mod a chance to prove itself, as we try
Sonic Mania - Hyper Flickies Return.
There are two flavours to try here but let's start off with the regular version.
As you may have guessed, you need to obtain all the Chaos Emeralds with Tails beforehand
in order to summon the birds while Super.
Luckily, save files transition over with mods,
so let me just grab 50 rings,
and pow!
There they are!
Looking a little sun-burned I might add.
The controls for Tails aren't any different obviously
and you do not control the flying critters either; it's all automatic here.
Go into the proximity of an enemy and the closest flicky will charge
head-first into the robot; completely obliterating it.
Just how it's done in the original classic but my God, these birds have some range!
I was certain some of these eagle-eyed destroyers were going for badniks off-screen.
When this edition is called the "Flickies of Death", it really means it!
Even at one point when I called for them,
a lone ranger went to put an enemy out of its misery before attending Tails.
Talk about being protective over their Master.
This makes the game a little too easy.
A lot of threat and danger were removed before my eyes.
Sometimes the little soldiers got confused and started destroying helpful objects.
But they won't hold your hand everywhere you go.
Monitors, you still have to break open yourself
and with the bosses, the army becomes blind and sits out for the rest of that round.
Something that increasingly became out-of-sync were the way the birds hovered over Tails.
After returning from their mission, they sometimes began to overlap the other Flickies.
I also discovered a humorous bug is in Encore mode.
It's fantastic that they work in this alternate gameplay
but when you switch character during their special forms,
the Flickies become... stunned!
"OMG it's Super Sonic!"
If you are hoping any of the menus or title screens have received a redesign,
I'm afraid you'll end up disappointed as it's still Sonic twirling on the screen.
There are no music changes either unless you download the DANK publication.
Basically, in this edition, whenever a flicky destroys a badnik,
the tempo of the music decreases.
I gave it a quick shot and it was certainly a strange feeling to my ears.
I wanted to know how remote I could push tempo down,
but I couldn't get far because the game kept crashing with this version,
in the exact same point in the tune so I guess it's a looping error?
Either way, I didn't try it again.
And there you have it.
A quick overview of the Sonic Mania – Hyper Flickies Return.
I was never expecting this to be fully clean and I allowed for bugs to be present,
none-the-less, I am a tad put off that the birds aren't in their yellow glowing state
and aren't following each other appropriately, but that's me being a fuss-pot.
However, the fact that the modding community are getting more and more technical with this game is astonishing.
Considering that this is as close to the real Super Tails as we can get right now in Mania,
I highly recommend giving it a go.
I've provided a link to the original YouTube video where a download link is provided.
And with this being the second CodenameGamma presentation on my channel,
I'm certain I'll be trying out more from this guy in the future.
