TrackerTD | Sonic Mania - Angel Island Intermission Act in Mania Mode (Mod) @TrackerTD | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
My previous video showed off a mod to get Mirage Saloon fully working in Sonic Mania's main Mania Mode (try saying that five times fast). There was a catch though; the stage list was now offset, leading to the Save Select's level selector being wrong; any zone after MSZ would now dump you in Act 2 from the Save Select. Not ideal.
So instead of doing the normal thing and just living with it, I thought; what if there was a S3K Hidden Palace style intermission between Hydrocity and Mirage Saloon, showing Sonic and Tails fetching the Tornado after they dumped it on AIZ in the opening? And so that's what I did, with a newly extended take on AIZ!
It's still a short level, given Hidden Palace in 3K was the inspiration, but I think it was a fun and creative way to get around a glitch. The second path shown in the video was originally a Knuckles route, but due to the game's coding, Knuckles never actually visits this zone; he goes straight from HCZ to MSZ.
Annoyingly, this can't be released for the same reasons as the previous mod; backporting.
(Though rumour has it, there's links for this mod in a certain Discord server...)

SEGAs OutRun got released for Nintendo Switch the other day as part of M2s sublime SEGA AGES series, and brought with it a bunch of newly arranged tracks.
This track is RADIATION from OutRun 2SP, originally composed by SEGA music legend HIRO and re-arranged for the original OutRun soundboard by sdhizumi. I was a tad sad they didnt go for Life Was a Bore, but alas, it makes sense that itd be easier to get the sound data for Radiation from HIRO.
Hopefully these new tracks receive an official release! The 3DS tracks were added to the OutRun soundtracks on Spotify and iTunes, so who knows?
SEGA AGES OutRun is available on the Japanese Nintendo eShop: https://ec.nintendo.com/JP/ja/titles/70010000011426
A Western release is planned for 2019, but the game will load in English if an English account is used to start it!")
