Green Hill was just too basic to be fun. The badniks were simple, the boss utterly pointless, and there was generally no challenge.

Marble was more fun, and what's more, knocked the difficulty up a tad. Surfing fire was a bit tedious at times, but that's the only real complaint.

Spring Yard was great, if you had the patience to rack up the points. I didn't. I got trapped between bumpers, stuck in spike 'bowls', and hit by those infernal rollers. On the plus side, the boss was easy.

I loathe and detest Labyrinth Zone. The countdown music strikes fear into my soul to this very day. I take great pleasure from passing this level, as it's plain sailing from here on.

Star Light is a great level. It's quite easy, the music is nice and the boss is great fun to play. Almost my favourite, but not quite.

Scrap Brain is another enjoyable level. It's hard to get the hang of, but great fun to play once you know what you're doing. It has traps and features that aren't seen elsewhere in the game, but is let down by
Act 3, which seemed totally out of place to me, and upset the flow of the game. A shame, sinceit is otherwise a great level.

And now Final Zone. This has it all. It's quite a challenge, but not so much so that it becomes annoying. The music and scenery are great, and the boss is decent, if a little unoriginal. Without a doubt my favourite level of Sonic The Hedgehog.
