Press Garden Zone is the fifth zone in Sonic Mania, which is a brand new original zone. It's an industrialized ancient ruin, resembling a printing house full of press-related elements.
Act 1 features more factory-like environment full of various crates, presumed to be a printing factory for Eggman's propaganda, as posters can be seen being printed in the background. Some of the crates lying around the factory appear fragile and can be destroyed using a Water Shield or a Fire Shield, sometimes revealing hidden goodies. Some crates are stacked in giant presses that will gradually break through the crates, crushing everything within them, including the player if they are not fast enough to escape.
Among some of the other features of Act 1 are conveyor belts of paper that the player can bounce off of, and by holding down a button the player can bounce higher, while touching the wheels of the conveyor belts will catapult the player in the direction they are spinning. Breaking lights on the walls and ceiling will cause doors and platforms to open, creating new routes, and typewriter blocks from the background serve as additional platforms.
Act 2, however, changes completely, revealing a frozen Japanese garden with snow and sakura leaves falling from the sky. Ice-blowing machines are placed around the act that will freeze Sonic and friends, making them slide around uncontrollably as living ice cubes. Unlike other instances in past games, freezing is harmless, and the player can break free by mashing the buttons or by colliding into a wall at high speed. Ice cubes all around the zone can contain things such as rings, springs, item monitors and spikes, and wood-cutting machines that will grind up tree logs into wood chippings can also be found.
Enemies
- Dragonfly - Badnik much like the insect of the same name. From Sonic & Knuckles's Mushroom Hill Zone but pink.
- A couple of crab-like Badniks, throwing a buzzsaw to each other.
- Splats - A jumping rabbit, spawns from the ink bottles with Dr. Eggman's face on them. Originally an unused Badnik from Sonic the Hedgehog.

- A woodpecker-like Badnik which pecks the trees to make small bombs fall.

Trivia
- This is probably Dr. Eggman's printing house, made for printing his propaganda press. It's revealed by the description "Wreak havoc at the propaganda factory" of the Playstation Trophy "Crate Expectations".
- The trees in Act 2 are used for making paper.
