Sonic Mania - list your favourite levels.

[Sharky]

So I've finished Sonic Mania 3 times now and let me tell you, it's possibly my new favourite Sonic game... I'm loving it. I want to know everyones favourite levels? I'm going to list my top 5 but you list them all in order if you want.

1) Press Garden - Both acts are awesomely inventive, fun to play, great to look at, nice music very unique aesthetic for a Sonic game... Couldn't get enough of this level.

2) Mirage Saloon - Another new and awesome level to play special shout out to Knuckles act 1... So good. Also [spoiler]Nack, Bean and Bark!!! Holy shit, did not expect that... So awesome.[/spoiler] Also loved the short plane intro, always loved those levels.

3) Chemical Plant - A special shout out to act 2, love that inventive level.

4) Green Hill - Yeah I know it's over used but it's still fun to play and probably the most fun to speed run... Just a classic.

5) Studiopolis - Great level design, great environment, incredible sound track.

Came to this thread wanting to say press garden. Good taste my man  . Its my favourite of the new original stages and shows well what the team has in store.

Secondly flying battery zone cuz of its throwback to sky chase act 2 and sky base zone from master system. Act 2 has so many ideas thrown in i like it a lot.

I love the guest appearances from characters we haven't seen in a Sonic game in over 20 years.  :3  Oh right favorite zones.  Mirage Saloon Zone for sure.  :D

Metallic Madness Act 1 OST is so cool. I could hear the music all day...
Oh right favorite zones.  Mirage Saloon Zone too for me.

I have two zones left before I can vote. I only have time to finish roughly one zone a night (kids, work, etc - keep me busy).

I've been loving every zone except the water ones frustrate me until I find the best path. Still not terribly hard though.

On music: the themes from Metallic Madness act 1 and Titanic Monarch act 2 are the real underrated stars of the OST.

I'm in love with almost every level. Mirage Saloon i think is my favorite overall though.

Finally beat the game and it is really hard to find my favorite level so I will mention the two I liked the LEAST.

Hydrocity and Lava Reef

[Team Andromeda]

Green Hill. That music never fails to get me going and remind me how great SEGA Japan was.

1. Mirage Saloon act 2 - I love the wild west setting and the inclusion of some LONG long long gone classic era characters.

2. Chemical Plant Act 2 - My favorite zone from Sonic 2 and my favorite gimmick in a long while, the bouncy goo with the ability to inject more bounciness into it was so cool.

Mirage Saloon Zone is just insane and even tho I am not a fan of Chemical Plant Zone, Act 2 of this level was just awesome,especially the boss fight !!!
