"There's just one legitimately good stage"
No, there's just one legitimately bad stage, Scrap Brain Act 2, the other "bad" ones are just you whining because this platform game is being a platform game and doesn't let you just hold right and occasionally jump to win. It's fine, there are other Sonic games that don't require you to be actually good at video games in order to play them. How about trying Sonic Advance 2 or Rush instead? They seem to be more up your alley with their lack of substance in gameplay.
Alright, I'll admit Labyrinth Zone kinda sucks as well, but still, Sonic 1 is a perfectly fine game and I doubt anyone can actually make a convincing argument that it has overall poor level design aside from those stages I mentioned.
