I understand Sandopolis Zone is frustrating w/ it's switches, rising sand, and ghosts in Act 2 but I really enjoy both Act 1 and Act 2 of the zone; climbing down tall towers with a pulley and travelling up the sand showers is really fun! I also love the way the stage looks in both acts, having yellow and purple as the colour scheme but at different lights (Act 1 being bright, Act 2 being dark ofc) was a nice contrast and transition between acts in a zone
even though Sandopolis is challenging with all its gimmicks I like the difficulty in it, being crushed isn't fun but I find it a
little more fair than bottomless pits at least
I think a lot of desert levels are my favourite though; Sand Ocean in SA2, Sand Ruins in Riders, and Mirage Saloon Zone in Mania
