Ranking Every Classic Sonic The Hedgehog Level From Worst To Best

14. Aquatic Ruin Zone

Sonic Ranking 3
SEGA

Sonic's second dip into the deep-end is distinctly Roman, yet for some reason has a salsa beat in the background. Obviously a Latin mix-up here.

Stick to the upper path, and you can avoid a Roman bath. Otherwise, the stage can be a bit of a Brute, with Grounders bursting through the scenery, more darts flying than a Friday night down the pub, and watery sections to make you weep.

The boss, a giant game of whack-a-hog, is a good'un - possibly the best in the game. Just mind it doesn't make you a flathog.

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.
