Sonic 2 Mania

== Description ==
Sonic 2 Mania is a Sonic Mania-styled recreation of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, along with many new bosses, features, and even some new zones. This game will be released for xBox One, PS4, Mac and PC. It will release in January 2018.
== Story ==
A long time after the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic and Tails are resting on Angel Island. Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik is trying to repair the Death Egg that was destroyed by Sonic, when his Death Egg Robot was defeated. One day, it is finally complete, with a brand new design. Robotnik thinks back to the events of Sonic Mania, when he controlled the Phantom Ruby. He still has it in his Death Egg. He takes it, and it starts to glow. However, the Ruby seems to have a mind of its own, because it captures Robotnik somehow. It releases a big flash, which knocks out Sonic and Tails. When they wake up, they find themselves on West Side Island, where Sonic the Hedgehog 2 took place. Sonic realizes that the Phantom Ruby put him here, so it could take over the world without him in the way. He tells Tails about this, and they rush to the Ruby. When they encounter it, they see that it has kidnapped Robotnik. Robotnik asks them to save him, and that if they did, he would not be evil anymore. Sonic and Tails agree, but with a flash, the Phantom Ruby sends them flying. Sonic and Tails then start their adventure to save Robotnik, and stop the Phantom Ruby from controlling time to conquer the world.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay of this game is based on Sonic Mania, combined with Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, and brand new features, to make a brand new gameplay style like never before. The player moves left and right, along with the new use of the background as well. The player completes a stage within a time limit of ten minutes. If the timer reaches ten minutes before the stage is completed, the player loses a life and restarts the stage. To get Continues, the player must score more than 50000 points when a stage is completed.
Sonic 2 Mania has all of the zones from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, along with 4 new zones:
# Mega Mountain Zone
# Steam Lava Zone
# Frost Fall Zone
# Space Blast Zone
Space Blast Zone is the true final Zone in the game, and can only be accessed if the player has collected all Chaos Emeralds.
When the player chooses Sonic, they can select his ability. The player can choose from the Super Peel-Out from Sonic CD, the Drop Dash from Sonic Mania, and the Insta-Shield from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. However, there is a new ability that is in this game: the Shock Slam. This ability allows Sonic to perform a ground-pound, and create a shockwave which will defeat any enemies in its path. However, the shockwave is not tall, so it only defeats enemies on the ground. The Drop Dash ability is unlocked by default, and the other three can be unlocked.
• Unlock the Super Peel-out by beating Aquatic Ruin Zone.
• Unlock the Insta-Shield by completing Mystic Cave Zone.
• Unlock the Shock Slam by completing Frost Fall Zone.
Each character has different abilities, as well. 
• Tails has the ability to fly, swim, and shoot laser spheres from his hand.
• Knuckles can glide, climb walls, and punch things to break them.

There are jet turbines, opening/closing platforms, metal poles to hang on, etc. At the end of the Zone, whoever was in the plane comes back to pick up the player, with a new jet added to the Tornado. It eventually catches up with Dr. Robotnik’s plane, and the player follows Robotnik’s plane to Death Egg Zone.
* Death Egg Zone: Death Egg Zone is the fifteenth and final Zone in the game. It has two acts, unlike Sonic the Hedgehog 2, where it was only a small zone.
