Oh and there's another thing I liked when playing Advance. Or moreso, what I liked that Mania actually referenced. There's this zone in Advance where you spin around a "bowl" before it drops you down below it to a lower level. Well, Sonic Mania actually referenced that in the Studiopolis Zone, with the exact same sound effect used there as well. So yeah, Mania isn't all just Genesis era, there's quite a few nods to Advance, to even Modern era stuff like the pulleys in Green Hill Act 2 coming from Splash Hill Zone from Sonic 4, and the Color's announcer reference also in Studiopolis. I think that's how you should homage past levels in my opinion, instead of SEGA always reusing entire old zones again and again.
