Ranking Every Classic Sonic The Hedgehog Level From Worst To Best

22. Marble Garden Zone

Sonic Ranking 3
SEGA

The name 'Marble Garden' sounds a lot more peaceful than Sonic 3's third zone actually is. Hellenic in style, but often hellish in nature, this set of Greek ruins is enough to make you want to smash plates out of frustration.

As with all the most annoying Sonic levels, crush deaths and spiky balls are the biggest factors in rage-induced controllercide. The fake springy spikes are fun though, and it has one of the coolest bosses in the series, with Tails again showing he's more than a special stage mine-magnet. The music has nowhere near the correct amount of bouzouki, however.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
