Flying Battery Zone returns in Sonic Mania, release delayed

Green Hill Zone isn’t the only Classic Sonic zone being renewed in Sega’s upcoming 2D Sonic game.

Sonic Mania - Flying Battery Zone Reveal

Flying Battery Zone, originally seen as the second zone in 1994’s Sonic & Knuckles (or the eighth zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles), will be featured in Sonic Mania. Not every zone in the game will be a rehash of previous territory—instead, it seems the developers have gone for a mix of old zones with new features and other zones that are completely new.

Though originally set for a spring release on PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One, the game has now been delayed until summer. The delay was announced today at the “Gotta Go Fast” panel by Takashi Iizuka, the head of Sonic Team.

Kyle is an unashamed longtime Nintendo fanboy. Some of his earliest and fondest memories are of playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES with his grandmother. His favorite series are Fire Emblem and Metroid. Outside of gaming, Kyle is also a serious Whovian, favoring the Seventh Doctor and Ace as his preferred Doctor and companion. He also loves superhero movies, power metal music, and basically anything in the space fantasy genre. Avatar by Smashley (@SmashleyDraws on Twitter).
