Heck yeah! Now I'm going to have to go listen to it. -

Yes, mon! Death Egg Zone act 1 has to be my most favorite track not only from 3&K, but from the classic trilogy in general! (Or is it quadrilogy? Do you count CD in that?)
I'm not at all literate in anything even CLOSE to music theory, so I can't put my finger exactly on what makes this track so special to me, but it just... has an energy, dude. Of course, every song in that game is full of energy, but Death Egg's has that menacing yet triumphant feel to it that just gives me goosebumps at times. Its courage in a bottle! -

I really love Death Egg a lot myself. The level itself can be a pain at times, but the music more than makes up for it.
Makes me wish the level was in Sonic Mania with new remixes now... -

The best part about Death Egg other than how much of a BANGER it is, has to be how remix-compatible it is! Remix it in almost ANY order, and it's gonna sound great in one way or another!
Changing the speed of certain beats, orchestrating the use of instruments, adding other sounds...almost ANYTHING is fair game! -

It really encapsulates what it would be like on Eggman's Death Egg though and a modern interpretation of that would be pretty cool! -

I'm genuinely surprised that nobody has mentioned Angel Island as their #1 favorite zone... I guess it's fair because there's just so many great zones in S3&K... if no one else will give it the praise it well deserves, then I'll do it myself!
For starters, it introduces us to EVERYTHING there is to love in the game!:
- Outstanding music (a Sonic Staple, as we all know).
- Really good visuals, it almost looks like a 32-bit game.
- Blatant continuity for the first time in the mainline games.
- Awesome cutscenes that flow into gameplay.
- The brand new character in Knuckles the Echidna.
- Fantastic and entertaining level layouts to learn.
- Game mechanics introduced in a simple, yet clever way.
- Much better use of water than ever before.
- New Special Stages, in the form of Blue Spheres.
- Exploration incentivized thanks to Giant Rings.
- Challenges at the end of each act with Mini-Bosses.
- Much more, like Bonus Stages and Elemental Shields...
And you know the craziest part? We can get to experience ALL of it, in THE. FIRST. ACT.
... Is that not insane??? That's just how Angel Island goes, it does so much and so right! So I wholeheartedly believe it should get WAY more respect than it currently does. It's the most underrated First Zone of all time, and you can't change my mind on that regard.

This one is also an Angel Island classic. kek. - Outstanding music (a Sonic Staple, as we all know).

@ I also love "Sky Sanctuary", like, a lot.
It's just SO EPIC narratively speaking: After the awaited showdown at "Hidden Palace", you just allied with Knuckles for the first time ever to take on Doctor Eggman (Ivo Robotnik, if we're being formal.), who JUST managed to repair the Death Egg, which you literally see rising past the clouds!!! If we're talking looks and story wise, Sky Sanctuary is my favorite Zone in S3&K... The only reason I don't like it as much as Angel Island is because I'm trigger happy with the jump button and it often results in me jumping straight into bottomless pits... So, it's like... Straight 9's vs. Mostly 10's and a few 2's, y'know what I mean?
Also, LOL, that's true... poor Tails, he always fails to catch up with Sonic... unless you have a friend or brother playing as him. -

I absolutely love the visuals in Hydrocity, especially in Act 2. The colors and design just pop and make it so visually appealing. And don't even get me started on the music - it's like the cherry on top of the whole experience. The way the level balances speed and platforming is just perfect. It keeps you on your toes while also giving you a chance to catch your breath and take in the scenery. Overall, Hydrocity is just a masterpiece in every way.
