          NTA but nah. Pretty much all of S&K's levels fall on the "long" side (well you know for a Sonic game at the time). Most of which are also pretty boring and uninspired. Musics a steep downgrade between games as well.

            Mmmh I dunno with the music. Yeah Sonic 3 is kino as frick thanks to MJ’s people but S&K has some good bangers too, Flying Battery and Lava Reef mostly. But then again it doesn’t make up for the forgettable Sandopolis music or kinda bland Mushroom Hill so I getcha

          Gonna have to come out and say US Stardust Speedway objectively sounds the best and is suited for a level where you go fast hence the “Speedway” Motif, the JPN version just sounds like a Dance Battle Music which doesn’t fit the Metal Sonic Race at all, never understood why JPN Stardust Speedway is so overhyped.

              true. Still, even when you're going from point A to B, the stages in Shadow aren't that interestingly designed compared to Adventure saga/Heroes stages. This is because they chose to make 23 stages, so it's quantity over quality (SA1 and SA2 have 10 speed stages each, and Heroes has 14 stages)

        Ok Black person. Also, Ice Cap is literally the same fricking thing.

        It's a fricking carnival, I EXPECT it to sound like one. The beta shit literally don't even sound like it matches what's on screen. Sounds more like a literal video game, as in, the background is a simulation while Sonic runs in front of it like a green screen.

              It sounds inspired by a tune you would hear when walking around a carnival, the MJ one is purely just a copy pasted circus tune, which is far more specific and doesn't fit as well because it's CARNIVAL Night, not Circus Night.

    Sonic has sucked shit in various ways since day fricking 1. I was 10 when Sonic 1 came out and my cousin had it along with a Genesis and when I got to try playing I was like "wtf is shit offscreen enemies spewing bullets at you, frick you spikes/pits, getting crushed literally by nothing!?!!!". We still played it a lot however and of course I eventually got my own Genesis along with Sonic 2 and that was was so boring and overly long I be like "end! just end!!!!!!!!!!! aaaahHH!H ARGH WTF IS THI SMYSTIC FART ZONE?????". I played Sonic CD at my cool uncles (r.i.p.) place and my god whoever devved that game legitimately either neglected to design levels or flatout didn't know how to. We got the Sega Channel which is how I experienced Sonic 3 and later Knuckles. 3 was p. good but with Knuckles I noped out and loaded up Shining Force and Time Killers (even back then I knew that game was fricking trash but its badness amused me so) for the trillionth time. Don't even get my started on the GameGear Sonics. Sonic Drifts my ass.

        It's mostly nostalgia talking but for me the beta track is unironically too upbeat and high tempo. The level is one of the slower ones in Sonic 3 and it's Eggman's carnival where he's trying to kill you. The beta track sounds like bonus round music

          I think feeling it's 'slower' has a lot with how the music makes you play through the zone. Also most zones are something Eggman made to kill you, doesn't prevent upbeat music. It's a matter of opinion though, it's not like either are bad (unlike beta Ice Cap which is bad even with the proper soundfont and production).

    Being able to time travel into the future in Sonic CD is irrelevant. You have no reason to go into the future because there is no incentive to be there. You start every zone in the present, and the robot generator/Metal Sonic hologram are both in the past.

      If you have the Time Stones, the Good Futures have less obstacles and enemies and are generally easier. Plus they are usually much nicer looking than the past/present/bad future
