Doesn't it feel like it drags a bit? Enemies like the grasshoppers that ambush you Metropolis-style, and mechanics like the spintop.
I want to like it, because I think the music and aesthetic is top notch, but can't bring myself to like the design.

Marble Garden's fine, though it obviously doesn't seem that great sandwiched between the greatness that is Hydrocity and flashiness that is Carnival Night.

Marble garden is one of the best levels. It's intricate, good atmosphere, music gets stuck in you're fucking head and it's got the best secrets. People who don't like marble garden, were hit in the head too many times as a child by their abusive black step dad's named tyrone

It's a fun but incredibly flawed stage for a number of reasons. Those being:
1) The sheer number of obstacles that break your pace and flow - the spiked balls, crushers and especially the spinning tops.
2) The spinning tops being an awful pace-breaking gimmick that can't be avoided.
3) The awful boss design if you're playing as Tails alone.
4) The stage being suited for Knuckles and Tails, but not Sonic due to the sheer number of steep hills, points of no return, exploration rewards usually being in high places or requiring Knucles/Flame Shield.
5) It's a stage riddled with blind hazards to the point where it only becomes enjoyable if you're Super/Hyper.

I'm biased because I think Sonic 3 vanilla was the best one - of course, I like Marble Garden because it is precisely what Sonic 3 and Knuckles was going for.

Large, expansive levels designed for exploration. I get how it's different to Sonic 2 and CD.

I feel it begins to drag right at the point where Robotnik causes the second earthquake in Act 2, a little before the Boss proper.
