If Sega is indeed positioning Sonic Mania as its own sub-brand, the inclusion of Ray and Mighty is not only a novelty for old fans, but possibly a smart buildup of characters for any future media spin-offs or sequels.
With the classic trio, Team Hooligans, Robotnik, Metal Sonic, Ray, Mighty and a likely appearance from Amy, that's a pretty solid starting point for any possible other game or even a half hour series adaptation of Sonic Mania Adventures if they ever get to that point.

That's a pleasant surprise. Until 1998, Amy's only playable roles in that design were in Sonic the Fighters & the Drift games.

Sadly, this is a fan work. Amy hasn't been confirmed for any Mania updates as of now.

Of course they had to name this ep "& Knuckles".

Picked up Mania Plus for Switch today and have a couple of observations.
First, Encore Mode a great way to add variety to the game. Going from one character to the next not only adds a ton of replayability but also feels like a great evolution of stuff like lives for the Sonic series. Any Mania Sequel has got to include it in some fashion.
Secondly, Ray and Mighty feel like much better contributions to the series than I could have expected. Mighty is a great choice if you really want to minimize hazards from spike or neutralize enemies quickly, while Ray is to the air what Sonic is to the ground. I like Tails, but he just can't compare to the sense of flow and moevement Ray offers when you get him right. Really hope these two come back for any sequels.
Thirdly, I don't think I'll be getting the Chaos Emeralds in Encore Mode any time soon. They were a pain in the main game for me, and these harder ones will require a level of repeat plays that I'm not in the mood to do.
Finally, its great to finally play this on a proper console. The Steam version from last year is fine, but both handheld and on TV is really how this game feels like its meant to be played.

Does make me wish for Amy in a future update, even if the game is pretty much finished.
