Finally... A Hyper form mod which isn't a re-skin of the super form.

[@drywanderer]

HONESTLY

[@Darksaviour173]

i have no idea how it is possible to code in a freaking room with teleporters in this game but i like it. Imma download the mod now

[@Banded_]

I'm honestly sick of those mods.

[@HameedYasser]

​@@Banded_bro what

[@-KORAL_ZERO]

@@Darksaviour173 it's probably easy. The stage was already made, and the game already has teleporters. it would be like a copy and paste. As for the special stages, while we do have all the assets, this mod was really creative with them.

This modding community has grown so much, and even more with the release of the decompilation. Now half of the mods are exclusive to that version

[@itsyaboiroi17]

idk how possible this would be, but it'd be really cool if this mod could be combined with Mania Addendum in the future. having Amy playable, the time stones collectable, giving Amy a Hyper form on top of all the QoL features and improvements Addendum makes to base Mania would be so cool. these mods are the definitive way to play Mania, so combining the 2 mods would make this the best game ever

[@greenknight9000]

There are plans for Addendum compatibility in the future. Just note that the Time Stones will be replaced with Super Emeralds if locked on together

[@Gorilla-r4g]

@@greenknight9000will this hypermania be compatible with extra slot Amy so that Amy can have a hyper form as well?

We should call it: sonic Mania ULTRA

[@nicbat7149]

Wait so like a mod that is like a lock on cartridge for another mod? Which would be a lock on to a lock on as mods are just lock on cartridges for games basically but it's just files no cartridge.

[@Nightgemz]

I thought Sega confirmed only Male Hedgehogs could go super, so it might be the same for Hyper Forms

[@Mr.IDK07]

I think that this mod should've been released as a DLC like encore mode

[@DanialDEcool]

Sega is trying to retcon hyper because they don’t want sonic to be basically invincible in the games. he was trying to add this, they didn’t let him, you can tell visibly because in the files are several things like super emerald sprites and even the word “Hyper!” Seemingly used for the phrase “Sonic can now go hyper!”

[@SpeedyNinja1152]

Hyper Transformations should be exclusive to Encore Mode.

[@Bran97]

Hyper Thor sees he's fighting Hyper Hulk... "Yessssss!!!!!" 😂

[@Jayzel617]

Hyper sonic is probably not coming back, ever.

Making custom special stages is above and beyond. The forces music is such a clever idea as the two games tie in, awesome job!

[@MasterJogadorMJDO]

Sega: we never using hyper sonic again. Modders: hold my code.

[@azimuddin1890]

I wish this was in the actual Sonic Manis Plus game. Imagine this being part of the Encore D.L.C? It would’ve made that D.L.C more worth it, with the addition of two more playable characters, we could’ve gotten this.

[@loribush2619]

I agree

[@Stickboy321Go]

It would’ve also been better if they used the other reused levels like palm tree panic etc

[@itsanegg5639]

Actually in the games' unused files the text hyper was found. Along with scrapped animations of the super emeralds blickering like in s3&k. Another text was found that said 'time to escape' in the font as the special stage instructions. Hyper sonic was probably planned but considering mania is a canon game sega probably didn't let christian whitehead do it

I like how you can be Super even post Super emeralds and you can switch from super to hyper form at will

[@apersoniguess_]

oh that’s actually incredible, the dream is a reality now

[@DanialDEcool]

Dream? This is fixing what whitehead originally planned. After collecting all 7 emeralds, you could get the super emeralds, visibly shown from the word “Hyper!” In rainbow and super emerald sprites.

[@galaxymonke557]

I cant believe the modders made a hyper form "fist bump" remix, thats pure hyper

[@Useott]

The modders did not. Tee Lopes did. Usually I search "sonic forces fist bump tee lopes remix" to find it.

[@alanbareiro6806]

This should have been included in the original game

[@isaboll1]

Blame Izuka? He seems adamant on Hyper not being canon

[@luizaugustosilvalima]

This would not make sense considerng the game's story,because the focused gem is the Phantom Ruby

[@FuentesFam-xp2rw]

@@FuentesFam-xp2rwI mean they kinda are (in the game files there is a hyper text)

[@mightymarmot1548]

This mod looks awesome! Finally hyper forms getting the love they deserve! Now if only we could get an extended version of the hyper song. I know it's just a remix of Fistbump, but god damn, for some reason, this makes the happy chemicals in my brain just go nuts!

[@randominternetman8177]

gotta love how there was so much effort put in to make hyper rings, a hidden palace warp, entirely new special stages, a double-transformation, hyper dashing, and even seemingly giving different attributes to hyper sonic, yet they couldn't be bothered to try and make the powered super emeralds match the art style

[@Paleowgh]

Like, they easily just could have taken the Master Emerald sprite and squashed it to actually match the grey slabs. Not a total dealbreaker though.

[@randominternetman8177]

@@Paleowgh yeah or recolored the existing slabs

[@Paleowgh]

@@randominternetman8177 That too.

[@xenodo597]

I love that all these forms are basically what Sonic can do on his own at some point in the future Knuckles essentially being Sonic Forces air boosting, it can sometimes feel like gliding Mighty's Hyper Form basically becomes the bounce bracelet And Tails/Ray can just fly as they please (Sonic needs to be super sonic to do this but the point is still there) thats really cool (I feel like I forgot something)

[@YisuselPrime]

HYPER NICE BOY!!! THIS MOD IS INSANE, A DREAM REAL!!!

[@tpbandit8669]

I think the only way this mod was made capable was because of the coding found in sonic origins

[@sticonsthe2nd]

Not Origins, the code is actually taken from Sonic 3 AIR.

[@c_sea1n]

@@sticonsthe2nd ah yes, the better origins

[@assbor]

​@@sticonsthe2ndalso no. It was possible because of the decompilation of the game's source code by RuberDuckyCooly (or whatever the nickname was).

[@solfege2753]

Fist Bump as the Hyper theme is a nice touch

[@giovanafuriatti9057]

Theres a mistake, all the chaos emeralds (exept the green one) special stages is in a diferente color emeralds for example: the one that were sposed to be the red emerald instead it plays the Cyan emerald special stage and after the act clear it apears red

The hyper characters song is fist bump…I LOVE IT Also at realize something, all the hyper characters actually one ability that makes them a bit different instead of being the same character Hyper sonic: can teleport Hyper Tails: has hyper flickys which can Attack enemies Hyper Knuckles: his glider is now weirdly a weird sonic boom that when it hits a wall, every enemy or tv monitor will die that’s show on screen Hyper Mighty: his stomp is now more bounce and looks more like a quick teleport to the ground when he is high up Hyper Ray: he has glide infinitely I think does are all the changes that I saw, maybe I’m wrong

[@FinalHopeTrio]

Let me see if I got this right. Comments section and Blue Vivacity, correct me in the replies if I have anything wrong for characters' abilities in hyper form. Sonic: The mid-air dash/double jump that clears the screen, STRAIGHT out of S3&K! Tails: SUPER FLICKIES! They attack for and with you! Knuckles: Boosted gliding speed and a screen-shaking cling that defeats all badniks on-screen. Mighty: His stomp can now also clear the screen if you hold jump when he collides with the ground! Ray: You get a little more momentum each time you go upwards! This could possibly mean infinite airtime if you keep pressing right every now and then with plenty of rings... and not a lot of walls stopping you...
