(sorta outdated) How To Get Encore Mode Stages, Pinball and D.A. Garden Plus without the DLC
By kw
You can't get Encore Mode stages now ;-;.
I figured out how to get the Encore Mode stages, Pinball, and D.A. Gardern Plus with having to buy DLC!

Getting The Dev Menu
To get the Dev Menu, you first need to find your Steam folder. It should be located in Program Files.
Now, go to the folder steamapps, common and then SonicMania. There should be a file named Settings. Open that up with a text editor, and at the top in the [Game] section, add devMenu=y under Language and save it. Now when you boot up Sonic Mania, press Esc while in game to get the Dev Menu! This is what we'll need to get the special stuff.
Getting The Sweet Stuff
Now, once you have the Dev Menu, open it up on Sonic Mania and go to Stage Select and select Encore mode. To get Pinball, go to Stage Select and then Pinball. To get D.A. Garden Plus, go to Stage Select then Extras. Sadly, you cannot play as Mighty or Ray with this.
NOTE: The Encore Mode stages act like real stages.
I hope this helped, cuz now you get to fight the giant Metal Sonic!

Well Team Mania just updated the game today and you can't acess Encore stages anymore. You still can acess Angel Island and Pinbal Bonus Stages though.

It's probably because Mighty and Ray are not technically in the vanilla game. Can't do anything about this without the DLC. Encore Mode Zones and Special Stages are still fully playable though.
