Scrooge McDuck takes over Sonic Mania. Every zone in Mania Mode, special stages included, plays with DuckTales Remastered's own hand-drawn Scrooge, read from your copy of the game.
What you get
- Play as Scrooge everywhere Sonic goes, animated with DuckTales Remastered's art: walking, running, the tumble roll, the dizzy knock-back and the victory jump.
- Pogo cane. Jump, then press jump again in mid-air to get on the cane. Keep holding jump to keep bouncing. Pogo onto badniks for a big bounce, and onto spikes without getting hurt.
- Golf swing. Spin Dash becomes Scrooge's cane swing.
- Diamonds and money. Rings are DuckTales diamonds (dropped ones turn red), and the HUD counts your money at $1,000 per diamond.
- Huey, Dewey and Louie pop up at every checkpoint and say one of their real DuckTales lines, with the subtitle.
- DuckTales Remastered's music. The Amazon, the Moon, Transylvania, the African Mines, the Himalayas and more, both the remastered and the NES versions, play across the zones, bosses, jingles and menus. Its sound effects replace Mania's too.
- Single player.
What you need
- Sonic Mania (Steam)
- DuckTales Remastered (Steam)
Press Play and Melty does the rest. On the first Play, Scrooge Mania reads what it needs from your DuckTales Remastered (about 20 seconds), then Sonic Mania starts. Nothing from either game is included in the download, and neither game's files are changed. Saves are kept separate from your normal Sonic Mania saves.
Controls
The same as Sonic Mania. Keyboard: arrows to move, A/S/D to jump, Enter to pause. Controllers work too.
