I thought about it the other way -- What would it be like, or would it be possible, to make SRB2 completely one button?
If the shield powers were to work like Classic, then only Sonic benefits from their versatility, but they cancel out Thok (or tbd ability). Other characters only benefit from the passive shield power. Tails gets to fly, but he doesn't get to set off the nuke blast unless he's hit.
The real question is, how do you spin/roll/spin dash? The one "X" button jumps; pressing twice is jump ability.
So then maybe it's better to think of it this way -- How do you replace "d-pad down" for 3D?
Tap X - jump
Tap X + tap X again - jump ability
Hold X - roll on ground (if moving), crouch (if stationary)
While rolling, Tap X again to begin spin dash and hold to charge
Only ability this removes is being able to jump out of a roll. But it keeps everything strictly 1 button gameplay, in terms of ability.

Interesting. I do like activating Super Sonic being a different button.
While I obviously adore the Drop Dash, I'm trying to think of a shield ability in Mania that I don't like... I like the S3K abilities equally. I know Mania had new shields in there, but ... damn, I can't remember off the top of my head; only thing I can think of is that it was nice having the blank S2 shields lol.

Ideally, I would've wanted shield abilities to be on a different button, similar to how Mania set turning Super to the top face button. I get why they didn't do it, but as it currently stands I almost never want to get a shield while playing as Sonic.
