Jimmy is a character that appears in Sonic Mania. A Moto Bug, Jimmy is the trusty steed of Heavy Rider, one of the Hard-Boiled Heavies.

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. When Heavy Rider is subdued, Jimmy will flee from the area.
