Sonic Mania 2 Wishlist

[DekuNut]

With the success of Sonic Mania, I expect well be seeing more games in that same vein coming up. With that in mind, what would you like to see from that next 2-D game? Want any more zones to be remade for It? Have cool zone ideas in mind? Any characters you want to see made playable?

ICE CAP ZONE FROM SONIC 3!!

Whyyyyyyyyyy in the name of Christ was this not in Mania?

It begins with Sonic snowboarding which is awesome, the level has great visuals and that music!!

Whyyyyyyy was it not there? Mania 2 NEEDS that Zone

Honestly, I want a 3D game thats more like Mania. A kind of story I guess, but with multiple playable characters that all have access to the same levels and don't have gimmicks like in the Adventure games. So I guess I want less of a Mania 2 and more of a 3D Mania.

My hopes:

• Some casino zone (ie Casino Nights or Carnival Nights)
• Ice Cap Zone
• Star Light Zone
• Mystic Cave Zone
• Wacky Workbench Zone
• A new special stage
• The Sonic 1 special stage as a bonus stage
• Amy as a playable character

Aside from S3 Ice cap....

Bring back Amy with her Advance move set. She played differently enough to warrant an inclusion and she is the only other character i can accept being playable.

I liked the grind rails in Advance too, they should come back.

For an original Zone idea i'd like to see one with a pirate theme. Like a shipwrecked fleet to bounce around on. Some ships sticking out of the water and some sunk to the bottom. Act 2 could have a badnik-kraken tearing things up and you can run on its tentacles. That'll be cool i think.

One cool idea I heard that actuslly got me thinking about this topic was a 2-D version of a bunch of modern stages. I know we kind of got that in Generations, but put it in that classic engine with Mania's Act 2 twists and I think we could see some interesting things.

I don't care for a Sonic Mania 2. I'd rather they make more 2D classic styled Sonic games with HD visuals and brand new creative stages.

This. There was a lot of creativity and originality in Mania, but it was kind of overpowered by all the nostalgia it had going for it. Which is fine, since we haven't had a good 2D game since the Rush series concluded (and even then, that series wasn't traditional 2D at all, you have to go back to the Advance trilogy for that), but I don't think you can effectively milk that for more than one game without it feeling cheap.

Give the Mania team full creative liberty to do what they want. HD visuals, all new stages, all new ideas. Mania is one of the best games of 2017, I have no doubt they'd knock another game out of the park with the same foundation.

Exactly. If anything, I'd rather they just remake the original games with HD visuals, brand new animations, and some added updates and get that over with, than cram in so much nostalgia into every game.

Marble Zone is my favorite zone in the series. Easily the best music, actual platforming, and was decently challenging. I NEED the remix of it.

MArble ZOne was pretty good, and so was Labyrinth Zone. I really like Mystic Cave Zone, and it would be nice to see. I also like Spring Yard ZOne and hill top zone
