Concept and creation
Jimmy's name is an homage to, a former member of Sonic Retro (where the developers of Sonic Mania got their start), known for making a ROM hack of Sonic the Hedgehog where a Moto Bug is the playable character.

Appearance
Jimmy is a regular-looking Moto Bug, with a distinguishing feature being its eyes: a red line blares in the middle of its eyes, indicating its looney and chaotic nature.

Overview
Jimmy, along with Heavy Rider, serve as the bosses of Lava Reef Zone Act 2 if the player chose Sonic the Hedgehog and/or Miles "Tails" Prower. It simply drives Heavy Rider across the battle arena, with the occasional moment of driving by itself when Heavy Rider is knocked off of him.
