What do you think your opinion on the worst zones of the classic games? (peferrably sonic 1 2 3&k and CD ) but you can also put in "stages" in modern if you want.

IMO the worst zone ever, and i mean ever would be the stupid marble garden zone from sonic 3. i hate it! my other zones i hate include the marble zone form sonic 1 and the flying battery zone from sonic 3. I also dispise level contaning water as a factor of death. how about you?

Yep.
One of the worst classic zones i know? Metropolis Zone from Sonic 2. It has simple but difficult to dodge enemies that make your life a living hell. And the music is kinda annoying. Plus, it's a hell of a teaser because it has 3 acts instead of 2.

Another pick of mine would be Wacky Workbench Zone from Sonic CD. The entire game is kinda collision glitchy but what really got me was the floor which made you bounce into useless places. I thought this was a game about speed, not platforming. :I

Worse Classic Zone? Labyrinth Zone. It's really slow-paced, with more time being spent looking for those damn air bubbles than ways to get to the end of the stage. That, and I consider it to be the most lazily designed of all the Sonic 1 stages.

Hidden Palace Zone - Seriously its just an easy boss fight followed by a 16-bit equivalent of a cutscene.
I know all the stuff about it was suppose to be a full level that got axed but I'm just going with what's in the game.

My! That's a pretty snazzy performance there!
To be honest I love all the ones (except Labyrinth) that you guys listed, I feel I got bad taste. :P

Anyway, Hill Top was weak in my opinion, it felt more like one big similar act than two slighty different ones, like some of the others. Marble Zone Act 2 (or 3) was ridiculous, especially when it came to the pin-point jumps near the end. And I always lose rings due to some blind jumps and enemies and spikes as well.

All of them.

To be honest, I was never the biggest fan of the classic games in general. For what I HAVE played, however, I think I'll have to give this honor to both acts of Sandopolis. Both acts were way too damn long, were insanely cheap, had no redeeming factors and Act 1 in particular decided to close it all up with a pretty pathetic sub boss. Oh hey, he's walking extremely slowly towards me. Let's push him into the sand. That's fun.

Worst Classic Zones, huh? Yeah sure, I can give this a go.

Labyrinth Zone (Sonic 1) - I dunno... there's just not a whole lot going for this zone. So I never really look forward to it all that much. Too much water for my liking most of the time. Music is kind of alright though.

Oil Ocean Zone (Sonic 2) - Nyeh. I dunno. I've just never been hugely fond of this zone to be honest.

Sandopolis Zone (Sonic & Knuckles) - I've always dreaded this zone. I just never found it very fun. Although in my more recent playthroughs I've enjoyed it enough, I guess.


I'm also going to give an honourable (or dishonourable I guess) mention to Carnival Night Zone Act 2. Not even the whole zone, just that act. That damn barrel screwed me up so much as a kid. Guide Dang It indeed. Also it's really really long. It seems to take up the bulk of my playtime when I'm playing through Sonic 3. xD

I'm currently replaying Sonic CD so if a stage sticks out as one that's really horrible I'll let you know.

Carnival Night - And by this I mean Act 2. First off, the barrel is evil, and it's kind of long for new Sonic players. One of the only two times I've ever times out.

Sandopolis - Also Act 2. What a huge stage, and the fact that the ghosts appear in the dark does not help. It's a booby trapped monstrosity.

Hill Top - This stage was just boring! There were no really cool things in it, especially after Casino Night of all places. And the fire made no sense.

Marble - Worst. Zone. Evar. Too many death traps, stupid lava, and don't even get me started on the glitchy Caterkillers!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who dislikes Wacky Workbench.
Goodness me.
Such a waste of my precious time.

Some others I'm not a fan of are Sky Chase both Sonic 2 and the ones found in Sonic Adventure, Flying Battery, all the ARK stages besides Final Rush (which includes SHtH ones), Marble Zone and Rusty Ruin because they are both annoying and very boring with its designs and color choices which is ironic that they are both the second stage in their games and, who guessed it, Amazing Arena.
Oh god do I hate having to search for those clocks.

Has nobody remembered Casino Night Zone.

Oh god, how I hated it. It was the worst sonic stage ever. In a game where going fast is the idea, Casino Night Zone does NOT fit.

I can go plenty fast in Casino Night Zone.=/

Hell, Carnival Night Act 2 is actually pretty fun once you figure out how to get past that stinking barrel.

Oh that was just wonderful that my father beat this without knowing what to do but I was stuck on it for a year.

That above picture is fantastic.

Wacky Workbench is definitely up there for me. I also hate Marble Zone, Metropolis, Sandopolis, Flying Battery, and Spring Yard. The majority of these levels were either extremely boring or just frustrating.
