Thoughts on the Sonic 3 zones?
Do you think instead of, say, Marble Garden Zone or Carnival Night Zone we gotten fully realized Azure Lake Zone or Chrome Gadget Zone, reception of this game would have been better?

Sonic 1 was the only 2D Sonic worth a damn. The level design just went to shit after the first game.

Angel Island and Hydrocity are incredible and very well designed.

Marble Garden is downright awful and Carnival Night is just okay, don't know enough about the alternates you're talking about to say but any alternative to Marble Garden is probably superior.

Ice Cap's overrated but decent, Launch Base is pretty solid though not amazing.

I like the & Knuckles half of the game more on average, Mushroom Hill isn't too much to write home about but basically every other zone is good to great. Even Sandopolis since Act 2 makes up for the sorta okay Act 1. Lot better finale than 3 had too but that's obvious.

>Basic = good
Ok loser

Nintendork who played 3d fake sonic on ganecube

What do you mean "reception of this game would have been better"? People love Sonic 3. Your 4chan schizo mind is showing

Console wars rot your brain, the other anon didn't even mention Nintendo. He just said Sonic 1 is the best Sonic game (which is true)

Huh? Act 1 is fairly decent, it's Act 2 that sucks

I see people complain about Act 1 being slow and boring a lot of the time and it's not entirely unjustified.

Act 2 is fun and has a neat gimmick to it that keeps you on your toes, it's pretty tough as a kid but not too hard to stay on top of if you just keep moving.

Tendies were a plight to the Sonic scene though
Ever heard of Chris Chan?

Fuck nintendo! Bros, we must win this war

S3&K only has 5 good zones:
>Angel Island
>Hydrocity (it's worded like velocity)
>Launch Base
>Flying Battery
>Lava Reef
I can guarantee you that the only reason the other levels are considered good is because the music is awesome. Like what >>11801347 said, when it comes to good level design, Sonic 1 is the best (with the exception of Labyrinth and Scrap Brain Act 3). You're free to disagree though, they're all still good games.

>>11802892
I disagree.
Labyrinrh Zone is also good
