Ranking Every Classic Sonic The Hedgehog Level From Worst To Best
17. Carnival Night Zone
Yes, yes, the barrel: we know. The most infamous section in any Sonic game ever, Carnival Night's dreaded 'barrel' room had many a player over one. If you didn't figure it out, it was game over. Via time-out no less - an inglorious way to go.
Ignore the barrel peril though, and you have an exceedingly entertaining stage. Fučík returns, though with good reason this time, as it's a circus awash with colour and not a stalactite in sight. Plenty of fun gimmicks litter the stage - cannons, balloons, floaty platforms with haemorrhoids - plus a particularly memorable second act blackout. All the fun of the fair.
