Ranking Every Classic Sonic The Hedgehog Level From Worst To Best
27. Marble Zone
Those with clouded memories will tell you Sonic was "sold on speed", conveniently forgetting this meant "faster than Mario", not "race to the finish in ten seconds of every level." Case in point: the second level, which flows with all the urgency of molten lava.
Of Sonic's two metamorphic mazes, Marble Zone is the lesser, not least because it's terribly mis-sold. A possible homage to Altered Beast's opening stage, the level is an interminable trudge, with block-pushing, evil unavoidable caterpillars, and completely unexplainable glass tube thingies. Marble Badness.
