Act 1 has a Love Tester machine, which was originally cut from Studiopolis Zone in Sonic Mania, and is now called the Buddy Tester machine. Description: Very similar to Spring Yard Zone from Sonic 1 and Casino Night Zone from Sonic 2, with some influences from Collision Chaos in Sonic CD.Act 1's music is inspired by "Cosmic Eternity (Believe in Yourself)", the Japanese ending theme from Sonic CD and contains some notes from the song, while Act 2's music contains notes from the Bridge Zone theme from the 8-bit version of Sonic 1, as well as the end credits theme from the same game. Music: Blue Lake Zone's music is inspired by the Green Grove Zone from the Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast/Flickies Island.The mini-boss for this zone is Shellcrusher, a bigger version of the Shellcracker, a Badnik from Sonic 2's Metropolis Zone. Act 2 also features occasional bridges that can crumble, similar to Bridge Zone. It features plenty of easy obstacles and secret passageways. Description: Very similar to Emerald Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Neo Green Hill Zone from Sonic Advance and Bridge Zone from the 8-bit version of Sonic 1.ZonesLike the previous game, Sonic Mania 2 features original zones, as well as zones taken from other Sonic games, with a balanced selection of original and returning zones. Similar to Knuckles, Amy has slightly different level pathways compared to Sonic, Tails, Mighty and Ray. Amy's victory pose when clearing an Act is a reference to the promotional artwork for Sonic Adventure 2. Amy does a Super Peel Out-style move instead of the Spin Dash like the other characters, leaving her vulnerable to enemies. The hammer can also be used by Amy to do an alternate high jump when running. While Amy's not as fast as Sonic or the other characters and can't jump on the enemies to destroy them unlike the others, she can use her Piko Piko Hammer to destroy enemies and open item boxes, either on the ground or in mid-air (kinda like a counterpart to Sonic's Insta-Shield ability), as well as use it on springs to bounce higher in the air than if Amy normally jumped on the spring. Her gameplay style is similar to the first Sonic Adventure and the Sonic Advance games. Playable charactersIn addition to Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, alongside the returning Mighty and Ray from Sonic Mania Plus, Amy Rose is added as a sixth playable character. Eggman somehow returned to his home dimension following the events of Encore Mode in Sonic Mania Plus, he builds a robot daughter from the parts of the Hard Boiled Heavies, called Eggette, whom he plans to use to get the Chaos Emeralds and take over the world. Of course, it would be hard to top the first Sonic Mania, but I think the sequel should be on par with the first game in terms of greatness. Since Sonic Mania is so well received, there's a possibility that it might recieve a sequel, titled Sonic Mania 2, with some brand new additions. Some fans even consider Sonic Mania to be the definitive Sonic the Hedgehog 4 instead of the failed episodic entry made by Sega and Sonic Team. Sonic Mania was a great throwback game that combined everything that fans loved about the 2D Sonic games from the 90's, thanks to the likes of Christian "Taxman" Whitehead, Headcannon (founded by Simon "Stealth" Thomley) and PagodaWest Games.
