The TRUE "Hyper Sonic in Mania" mod returns from SHC 2022!

HYPERMANIA is a mod for the Sonic Mania decompilation by Rubberduckycooly and st×tic that adds fully featured hyper forms into the game! no compromises like missing Super Flickies or half-broken palette cycling are present, (almost) everything is here and accounted for!

To activate a Hyper form you can press Up + W (or whatever you have the super button mapped to) while in a debug mode OR you can play through the game normally while collecting Super Emeralds by finding Super Rings that start spawning in the place of Giant Rings after collecting all 7 Chaos Emeralds, similarly to S3&K (NOTE: due to time constraints Encore Modes' special stages are currently used as a substitute for new ones).

Each Hyper form has an innate ability to never drown as well as a unique Hyper Ability for each character. The Hyper Abilities for the main 3 are carried over from S3&K with alterations here and there while Mighty and Ray have new abilities exclusive to HyperMania. More information can be found in the MANUAL.md file included in the mod.

INSTALLING/RUNNING:

Extract the mod to the 'mods/' directory located in your Sonic Mania Decomp install, make sure that it's containted within a folder itself (can be called anything but you should name it 'HyperMania/' for the sake of transparency).

The mod has 4 downloads available:

• cutting-edge RSDKv5U + Mania (Windows)
• cutting-edge RSDKv5U + Mania (Linux)
• legacy RSDKv5U + Mania (Windows)
• legacy RSDKv5U + Mania (Linux)

If your still running the 1.0.0. decomp releases download a legacy version, if you're using a recent decomp build (i.e. compiled it yourself) use a cutting-edge version.

Also some things to keep in mind:

1. The downloads provided were built for x64 architectures ONLY, if you're running a older machine they might not work.
2. Make sure to back up your SaveData.bin and Achievements.bin, i've never had any problems with these files when testing but I think it's worth doing just to be safe.

NEW FEATURES FROM SHC 2022 VERSION:

• Super Flickies attack all bosses
• Super Rings + Hidden Palace Zone
• Save game support
• Mighty Hyper Ability
• Ray Hyper Ability
• Options (disable flashing, rainbow palettes for everyone, super-then-hyper etc.)
• ...and more!

If you would like to keep up with the mods' development you can follow it on the github repo where I push commits on a semi-regular basis as well as occasionally upload alpha builds.
