I think I'm in the minority here but I really do NOT like this game.
It's shocking to me that Sonic even got a sequel, because for a game advertised as a faster paced platformer than Mario, this game has WAY TOO MANY levels that try their hardest to slow you down.
I get that they want you to learn the level layouts so you can get better at them and clear them in record time, but they just are NOT fun to play in the first place and I don't have any motivation to get better at them.
Sure, Green Hill is fun, but Marble Zone, Spring Yard Zone, LABYRINTH ZONE IN PARTICULAR... These are TERRIBLE! and I do NOT understand why you would put the slow ass lava level right after Green Hill Zone, THE VERY FIRST LEVEL OF THE GAME!
I never beat this game as a child but I did recently practically out of obligation. It's not an awful game, but don't try to play it the way you would expect to play a good Sonic game.
Ironically a slower and more tedious game than any Mario game I ever played.
