The upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog game Sonic Mania is throwing it back to 1994's Sonic & Knuckles with one of the best levels of the 2D era: Flying Battery Zone. And yes, Knuckles the Echidna is soaring back to the spike-filled zone.

The new version of the Flying Battery Zone was teased in March featuring Sonic and Tails. The new video above shows Knuckles using his super helpful gliding and climbing abilities that makes the dangerous metallic zone much easier to traverse.
