I honestly would’ve put aquatic ruin higher on the list, as making the worst part of a sonic game (a water level) practically optional if you play it right is definitely a good move on their part. Though I do think that the water part included was pretty tedious and bad, so it doesn’t surpass any zone with great alternative paths. But the music was wonderful , it was a generally fast paced level, and the boss fight was decent.

There they got added in more dynamic ways. Instead of going trough it to be able to get on he higher plataform, without obstacles on the top and enemies on the bottom, mania puts a better twist. At the first time you can wait to crush all the spikes or you can skip it doing a risky jump. Also, the sections with lava under and enemies above makes it pretty much more challenging and interesting.

I guess I just enjoy Metallic Madness bad future Jp/Eur too much for the jazzy Mania remake to gain much traction for me.
