Well, it's a fair point, but I still belive Sonic 2 might be the best one to recommend in this regard, because in Sonic 1 and Sonic CD, there's no way to avoid going under water in the water levels, with Sonic 2, all levels that have water were designed in a way that, depending on the route you take and how well you can play the game, you might avoid the water altogether. I know it can be difficult when starting out and not necessarily the be the best way to get exposed to the series, but at the same time Chemical Plant is a fun and fast level before you go in the water, downright exhilirating at times, and before that there's Emerald Hill which is also a fun and fast level, if by the point you drown in Chemical Plant the 1st time you still haven't developed a liking to Sonic's gameplay, at least enough to want to learn and keep going so you can keep playing it, overcoming the challenges like the water, then perhaps it wasn't meant to be and Sonic just doesn't appeal to you in particular, and that's fine, they're unique games and I can see why they'd be divisive, my main issue is people developing the conclusion that because a certain gameplay and level design isn't appealing to them, that must mean that it's fundamentally flawed and those that like it are delusional somehow. which I see often online.
