One of the best soundtracks in gaming history, some of the best pixel-art aesthetics in gaming history, I've re-listened to this game's soundtrack probably hundreds of times now, it's pure bliss to the ears.
The visuals too are wonderful, and the variety you get from all the different versions of levels available!
Unfortunately, the level design is quite weak. The game is more heavily reliant on verticality and exploration, but Sonic doesn't really fit that sort of gameplay. The level design had to be compromised so he can reach so high and low instead of giving Sonic a new ability to deal with the stages.
It's definitely much more fun on replay and, is a very fun game in general, it's just not on the same level as the other genesis era 2D sonic games, discounting sonic 1
