SEGA reveals Green Hill Zone Act 2 and new boss for Sonic Mania
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 4 Comments
SEGA has pulled back the curtain on a new Act and boss included in Sonic Mania.
Here’s the full rundown:
“Green Hill Zone Act 2 presents an all-new area exclusive to Sonic Mania, expanding upon the tropical setting of Act 1, now with new mechanics, obstacles, and secrets to uncover. You like fire, right? Now you can use it to burn log bridges and collect rings and power-ups! Green Hill Zone Act 2’s boss is also notably different from the original, but we won’t be spoiling that yet.
Also revealed today is the first in a series of new bosses, called the “Hard-Boiled Heavies”. These unique foes are part of Eggman’s new arsenal, each equipped with special skills designed to make a blue hedgehog’s life much harder.
The first of these, “Heavy Gunner”, will appear at the end of the Hollywood-inspired Studiopolis Act 1, and is a large, decorated robot who can take to the sky with his helicopter. Heavy Gunner is armed with a powerful rocket launcher that he uses to discourage “speeding”. (Sources from Studiopolis confirm this method is, generally, highly effective.)”
Fans who are attending PAX East can try out Sonic Mania this weekend. We’ve included videos showing the game’s new content below.
