“Lights, Camera, Action!” was composed by Tee Lopes for Sonic Mania, released in 2017. It serves as the Act 1 music for Studiopolis Zone, a stage built around television, broadcasting, and movie-production imagery. The composition became a recognizable part of the game’s soundtrack because its funk-driven arrangement matches both the stage theme and Sonic’s speed. It remains popular in gaming videos, fan animations, remixes, and energetic edits that aim to evoke the colorful style of classic 2D Sonic games.
