Ranking Every Classic Sonic The Hedgehog Level From Worst To Best

10. Mushroom Hill Zone

Sonic Ranking 3
SEGA

Combine Spring Yard and Green Hill and put it on a plate with this zone. Add a couple of Death Eggs (there are two) and a (spin) dash of olive Oil Ocean, and you have yourself the makings of a delicious Sonic salad.

Aside from being the vital ingredient to a creative culinary delight, Sonic & Knuckles' first zone is a fungi frolic bursting with invention and excitement. The seasonal effects are neat (though precisely what Robotnik's purpose is is unclear), there're more massive rings than a mobster's jewelry box, and the thrilling pseudo-3D boss caps it all off.

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.
