Rereading Black Squirrel's "Adventures in Chaotix" thread, it got me thinking, so I figured I'd make a thread so as to not clog up his thread with a bunch of theoretical wishful thinking.

If you were to, say, make a sequel to Mania that kept the Mania physics but incorporated more elements from Chaotix, how would you do so, while keeping the Ring Tether/Rubber Band/Carry mechanics?

I would make the Encore Mode style of gameplay the main style, as I feel like the old "lives" system doesn't…

How would you implement Chaotix's rubber band and carry mechanics into a Classic Sonic game?
