Sonic Mania: Origins of All Zones

[@Yamamanama]

I love the little nods to other zones.

[@UltraSTH]

Can you do the bosses, too? GHZ 1: References the original Green Hill Zone boss (Egg Mobile H) from Sonic 1. GHZ 2: Death Egg Robot from Sonic 2. CPZ 1: References the Ice Cap miniboss Sonic 3 CPZ 2: In the context of the Sonic series, this is the final boss from Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine. SPZ 1: Possibly a reference to Blue Spheres (blue is good, red kills you) SPZ 2: References the Green Hill Zone boss from Sonic 1 (Master System/Game Gear) FBZ 1: References the original Barrier Eggman boss from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. FBZ 2: References Sonic’s fight with Eggman in Archie Comics Issue 200. PGZ 1: Reminds me of Carnival Night’s miniboss for some reason. PGZ 2: References the second boss from Revenge of Shinobi. SSZ 1: References the room in Sonic CD’s Metallic Madness Act 3 before the final boss. SSZ 2: Very similar to the iconic race with Metal Sonic in Sonic CD. His second form he has as of update 1.04 references the final boss of Knuckles Chaotix. One phase even recreates the fight with Silver Sonic in Sonic 2 GG. HCZ 1: References the original Act 2 boss of Hydrocity, just a role reversal this time around. HCZ 2: First phase controls similarly to Doomsday Zone. Second phase is a copypaste of the original Hydrocity miniboss. MSZ 1: A giant Caterkiller. This references the first boss from Space Harrier. MSZ 1(K): References the boss fight in Gigapolis, from Sonic Chaos. MSZ 2: Bean, Bark and Fang (Aka Nack) will all make appearances, all behaving like they did in Sonic Championship/The Fighters. OOZ 1: The robot looks like the same one from Mushroom Hill Act 1, just as a plumber instead of a lumberjack (possibly a reference to Mario, as his occupation is a plumber.) OOZ 2: Very similar to the original Oil Ocean boss, just the submarine looks like a giant version of an Octus Badnik. LRZ 1: Very similar to the Marble Garden miniboss. LRZ 2: The motobug, named Jimmy is a reference to Polygon Jim (RIP) and his famous “Motobug in Sonic 1” hack. LRZ 2(K): Takes place in Hidden Palace Zone. Heavy King flies around in a similar manner to Super Mecha Sonic. MMZ 1: Recreation of Sonic 1’s final boss fight, just with one extra piston and a pinch mode. MMZ 2: The machine Eggman pilots resembles the Botanic Base boss (even though the attack method is completely different) Miniature versions of the Emerald Hill boss, Marble boss, and Amy (acting like she did in Sonic CD, but in that game she only stopped you if she hugged you, here she blows up [makes sense because it’s a robot]) Also a reference to the Gumball Machine from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. TMZ 1: A crystal-clear reference to Red Eye from S3&K. Ironically renamed to Crimson Eye (Crimson is basically dark red.) TMZ 2: Reminds me of Sonic CD’s final boss. ERZ: The Phantom King behaves similarly to how he did as the Heavy King in Hidden Palace. Eggman’s mech uses parts from the TMZ 2 fight to make a Big Arms "replica."

[@arthurbr8280]

Makes sense

[@mattfromwiisports9414]

Heavy Gunner's fight might be referencing the Eggman fights from Sonic Dash 2, where you have to hit blue plasma bombs back at Eggman and avoid the red ones

[@SubconsciousDeviant]

No he's not Crimson eye in Mania he's Red eye

[@UltraSTH]

@@mattfromwiisports9414 It could be a combination of that and Eggman/Jim Carrey Robotnik from Sonic Dash 1. Heavy Gunner shoots missiles like in Sonic Dash 1 that are colored blue and red like Sonic Dash 2. Not only that, but just like those games, you're constantly running.

[@UltraSTH]

@@SubconsciousDeviant In Mania, he's called Crimson Eye. You're thinking of the miniboss from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

[@shanks2020]

I feel like Studio polis zone is a combination of Sonic 2 Metropolis Zone,Casino Night zone and Sonic 3 carnival night zone and sonic cd collision chaos and sonic 1 spring Yard zone.

[@adamblockmaster]

And Sonic 1 spring yard zone.

[@jonahstein3034]

And Collision Chaos from CD.

[@xenozenith19]

Most likely Casino Night(Sonic 2), Carnival Night(Sonic 3)and Casino Street(Sonic 4 Ep 1)

[@Sod4126]

The boss fight it’s so damn annoying

[@DANCE.WITH.ALYSON]

Hey Google Chrom The Boss Is Ez Sorry For Spelling Your Name Wrong

[@BangersAndMashmonkey]

Stardust Speedway Act 1 also had the pulleys from Sonic 3 & Knuckles' Marble Garden Zone, and the elastic vines from Sonic Advance 3's Sunset Hill Zone.

[@mrherc85]

Mirage Saloon act 2 has elements from Sandopolis. Press Garden has elements from Launch Base, Marble Garden, and Mushroom Hill. Titanic Monarch draws from Scrap Brain and other final zones... Studiopolis has a couple things from "Casino/Carnival/Yard" zones from earlier games as well...

I like sonic mania and sonic mania zones

[@jenniferchavira]

To be honest, I've never actually seen the reverie that much, but out on the info that I have thought, Egg Reverie is based on Doomsday zone from S3&K.

[@sanlauu]

The act 2 of mirage saloon is not only dust hill ,in sonic cd with a code you can see a photo of mirage saloon

[@michaelcastellano9932]

Act 1 has some mechanics from Launch Base Zone, but it isn't really based on any prior sonic zone to my knowledge. I mean I guess you could say that Act 2 is sort of based on Ice Cap, but even then I think that's a bit of a stretch.

Wait wasnt mirage saloon act 2 unused sonic cd stage?

[@launched_]

Kind of. Desert Dazzle, the scrapped Sonic CD stage was only going to be present in the remake, but it was denied by SEGA as they wanted the game to be as close to the original as possible. Desert Dazzle was mostly based on Dust Hill, the scrapped Sonic 2 stage. Since it wasn't fully made past the simple concept in the first place, it can't really be attributed as vased on it.
