That's not why Marble Zone is in the game

Imagine you had Green Hill Zone, Star Light Zone, and then the rest of the game is slow blocky levels like Marble Zone. It would be boring, as evidenced by the modern Sonic games that follow this pattern. Marble Zone exists to put distance between the opening stages and the more climactic fast-paced end stages. Sonic CD also does this by putting levels like Tidal Tempest long before levels like Stardust Speedway, so they can save the good stuff for later in the game. The last game to really do this (not /vr/ but whatever) was Unleashed. After that you just get two fast stages and six slow stages and that's it.

Sonic 2 and 3 is when they started putting levels like Chemical Plant and Hydrocity right at the beginning followed by a bunch of slower levels. It starts out great but after that it just gets kind of boring. If they followed 1 and CD's pattern though they would be more fun to play to the end.

Apparently we are not allowed to make any comments about Russ's cat Chicken here.

To make this post relevant here is a Game Boy you can use as a gun, which I wish I had right now especially after last week,
