+ | {{ii}} The game is made on a definition of 424x240. If you want to have a sharp and clean image, you need to multiply that definition by two each time in windowed mode. On a 1920x1080 monitor, x4 is the best choice, but since this multiplier is not available in the options, you have to set it manually.<ref name="resolutionFix">[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1123335835 Steam Community :: Guide :: How to get the sharpest image]</ref> | ||

+ | {{ii}} On a 4K monitor, the sharpest image would be x9 (3816x2160). | ||
+ | {{ii}} You may also want to add <code>shaderSupport=n</code> to get it even more clean.{{cn|Even with a 1696x960p windowed resolution, shader set to 0, and any possibility of Win10 doing scaling removed, I still get interpolation between pixels regardless of this setting. ---[[User:SirYodaJedi]]}} | ||

+ | }} | ||

+ | ===[[Glossary:Frame rate (FPS)|Frame rate (FPS)]]=== | ||
+ | {{ii}} The frame rate is partially locked to the refresh rate of the monitor, regardless of V-Sync. A refresh rate of 40 or below will cap the frame rate at 40 FPS, while a refresh rate of 60 or above will cap the frame rate at 60 FPS. A refresh rate between 40 and 60 will cap the frame rate to that refresh rate (so 50 Hz locks the game to 50 FPS). | ||
+ | {{--}} The gameplay is synced to the frame rate, and targets 60 FPS to deliver a full speed (100%) experience. This means that 40 FPS (40 Hz or below) will run the game at 66.67% speed (a 1/3 slowdown) and 50 FPS (50 Hz) at 83% speed (a 1/6 slowdown). | ||

Name | Notes | |
---|---|---|
Encore DLC (Sonic Mania Plus) | Includes two additional characters, an enhanced multiplayer mode, and a new set of levels - among other enhancements. |
Essential improvements
Decompilation port
- An open-source decompilation of Sonic Mania. Requires the Data.rsdk file from the PC or console versions as well as the corresponding Game.dll for the desired the RSDKv5(U) executable to run.
- Allows the game to be displayed with nearest-neighbor and pixel-perfect scaling, features native x64 and x86 Windows support, a built-in mod loader, and alternative backend renderers besides the default DirectX 9 renderer.
- Owners of the Encore DLC must compile the decompilation port from source to enable Sonic Mania Plus contents.[3] Alternatively, a mod for the decompilation port is available that adds Steam functionality and DLC detection for owners of Sonic Mania and its Encore DLC, which requires Steam running in the background.

Widescreen resolution | Scaled from 424x240; see Widescreen resolution. See Custom aspect ratios for narrower aspect ratios (ex: 4:3, 16:10). |
||

Ultra-widescreen | Pillarboxed to keep a 16:9 aspect ratio. See the related Cheat Engine table for a workaround. |
||
4K Ultra HD | Scaled from 424x240; cutscenes scaled from 1024x512. See Widescreen resolution. | ||

Windowed | Uses fixed window sizes (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x) that cannot be stretched by the user. | ||

120+ FPS | Capped 60fps | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
Widescreen resolution
- The game is made on a definition of 424x240. If you want to have a sharp and clean image, you need to multiply that definition by two each time in windowed mode. On a 1920x1080 monitor, x4 is the best choice, but since this multiplier is not available in the options, you have to set it manually.[4]
Set windowed resolution manually[4] |
---|
winWidth=1696 winHeight=960 Notes
|
- If you have filter issue after adding the 4x support, you can delete Settings.ini, the x4 multiplier will still be usable in game with correct filter.
- Does not work with Intel iGPUs, see Blurry interpolation between pixels, even when filter is set to none and a integer resolution is set.
Borderless fullscreen windowed
Edit game settings manually[citation needed] |
---|
|
Frame rate (FPS)
- The frame rate is partially locked to the refresh rate of the monitor, regardless of V-Sync. A refresh rate of 40 or below will cap the frame rate at 40 FPS, while a refresh rate of 60 or above will cap the frame rate at 60 FPS. A refresh rate between 40 and 60 will cap the frame rate to that refresh rate (so 50 Hz locks the game to 50 FPS).
- The gameplay is synced to the frame rate, and targets 60 FPS to deliver a full speed (100%) experience. This means that 40 FPS (40 Hz or below) will run the game at 66.67% speed (a 1/3 slowdown) and 50 FPS (50 Hz) at 83% speed (a 1/6 slowdown).
Configure the monitor to run at 60 Hz or higher to play the game at full speed[5] |
---|
Custom aspect ratios
- Sonic Mania supports a maximum aspect ratio of 16:9, but it can be modified for thinner ratios (16:10, 4:3) without using black borders with Hor- screen change.
- Some menus may get cut off, however the in-game camera will adjust appropriately.
