Angel Island Zone (Sonic Mania)

Angel Island Zone is the first zone of Sonic Mania Plus's Encore Mode. This Zone is a re-imaginied version of Angel Island Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for the Sega Mega Drive.

Overview
Angel Island Zone is much like the original from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and the opening from Sonic Mania. The only differences are slight changes in level design, no access to the beach area in the beginning and the addition of the the capsule that holds Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. Also near the end are the discarded remains of the Hard Boiled Heavies.

History
After being transported to Angel Island Zone by that Phantom Ruby, Sonic the Hedgehog begins to explore the area and eventually finds a capsule containing Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. After choosing his partner, Heavy Magician reveals herself to be the character you didn't choose and flies away with the Phantom Ruby. Sonic and his partner give chase and soon find the discarded remains of the Hard Boiled Heavies and Heavy Magician who gives the Phantom Ruby to Heavy King who awakens and teleports everyone to Green Hill Zone (Sonic Mania).
