Soundtrack? Why yes Sonic Mania does have a good soundtrack, but most of it was just remixes of older tracks, not unique newly made ones, whereas Sonic 4, I'm pretty sure only remixed a couple tracks which are the unused boss theme from 3D Blast which was used in the boss theme, and some jingles like the act clear, drowning, extra life, etc being remixes from Sonic 1/2/3/&K. Despite the OST being pretty mid.

[@Stickboy321Go]

Oh wait, maybe y'all don't like the homing dash? I might agree, but for Sonic 3 A.I.R there's a megamix movesets mod, it has a better homing dash. Don't respond with hate just because i'm trying to make this game get hated less, idc if it's been a few years I'm just really annoyed by how people are hating on this game, Sega ignores them and that's good.
