Mirage Saloon Zone

Mirage Saloon is a zone that is set to appear in Sonic Mania.

Overview
This Zone takes place in a vast desert, filled with cacti and huge mountains in the distance. Act 2 of the Zone features multiple saloon-like indoor areas filled with large, piano-like platforms.

Gameplay
Act 2 features new mechanics such as a spray gun to guide paths, a pistol to launch the player to new heights, piano keys that the player can bounce on, and the return of the pinball gimmick.

Trivia

 * The overall design of Mirage Saloon Zone is identical to the scrapped Desert Dazzle Zone from the 2011 re-release of Sonic the Hedgehog CD. Christian Whitehead later confirmed the Zone being inspiration for the zone. Both levels seem to bear similarities to Dust Hill Zone, another scrapped zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
 * This Zone contains multiple references to the rest of the Sonic series:
 * Multiple wanted posters of Fang the Sniper, Bark the Polar Bear, and Bean the Dynamite can be seen in the background.
 * The "EG" Eggman symbol previously seen in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 appears on multiple objects in the Zone, much like it did on the popcorn machine gimmicks in Studiopolis Zone.
 * The gun-like launchers use the same design as the guns wielded by the Eggrobos in Sonic & Knuckles.
