Green Hill Zone (Sonic Mania)

Green Hill Zone is an upcoming Zone for Sonic Mania. This Zone is a re-imagination of the Green Hill Zone from the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive.

Act 1
The first Zone is identical to the original Green Hill Zone Act 1 until near what would have been the end. At that point, the Zone presents a couple of areas taken from Act 2 and then some new setups. Eventually, the player finds themselves inside a cave where a mini-boss battle begins.

Act 1
The boss of Green Hill Zone Act 1 are two mini Death Eggs linked by a chain. At first, the top one will swing the bottom around in a way reminiscent of the wrecking ball Dr. Eggman had in the original Green Hill Zone. After a while, both Death Eggs will rotate around at high speeds.

During this pattern, either one will heat up and become immune to damage. After dealing enough hits to them, the targetted machine will blow up. This causes the remaining one to bounce around until the player scores a final hit.

Trivia

 * The level layout of the first Zone is heavily reminiscent of the original first two Acts of the Green Hill Zone from the original Sonic the Hedgehog with only slightly different objects, Badnik placements and alternative pathways.
 * The inclusion of corkscrew loops and underworld section of the Zone is very similar to the previous version of the Zone seen in the console/PC version of Sonic Generations.
