Ranking Every Classic Sonic The Hedgehog Level From Worst To Best

31. Sandopolis Zone

Sonic Ranking 3
SEGA

Firstly, nobody likes sand in their shoes, and seeing as that's all Sonic wears, this zone makes him 100% uncomfortable.

There's also a spooking of spectres inexplicably banished to one of Robotnik's capsules until our poor hero unwittingly releases them in Act 2, after which they relentlessly haunt him. Like massive twats. This comes shortly after facing a sand golem acting as doorkeeper; it's all a bit supernatural for Sonic. Pigs and chickens in robots, that's what we want.

The pyramid scheme concludes with Robotnik entombed in a sarcophagus, which is sort of cool. But also quite weird. Don't be weird, Eggman.

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.
