Yes.

there's no *we*, reddit refugee subhuman

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.

Sonic was not every good.

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.

>>6738986
Carnival Zone is such a let down after the great pinball-themed Spring Yard Zone and Casino Night Zone.

>>6738994
I don't think Carnival Night's that bad. The first act is a breeze but to a new player the second act is basically just hell.

it's my favourite Sonic 3 & Knuckles stage
I like the art and music a lot.
I also like the bouncy thing that you trigger by spin dashing

>>6738968

That stage music is comfy.

>>6738975
This. I like the zone, but at the same time I feel it can drag a bit.

>>6738968
its my least favorite zone in sonic 3 somehow below carnival night. its just boring. not a whole lot going on and its not very interesting aesthetically either. just kinda filler.

Who's "we"?

>>6740004
and yet it's still better than any level in any Sonic Advance game.

>>6740035
Your girlfriend, his boyfriend, and you.

>>6738968
It's my least liked zone of Sonic 3. It just feels very boring and plain in designs.

>>6738968
The worst classic stage along with Oil Ocean.

>>6740623
Carnival Night is worse than either.

>>6738968
no, i always want to skip it and hydrocity

>>6738968
Well I like it a lot

S3&K levels took me too fucking long to finish, and this one timed me out. Fuck this level, good music though.

Where did all the lava from Sonic 1 go? Weird to bring this zone back from Sonic 2 but not it's main attraction.

>>6738968
Honestly, It's my favorite zone from 3&K.

>>6741831
Marble Zone =/= Marble Garden Zone

KNOW YOU'RE A KNUCKLEDUSTER
AND YOU'RE CAUGHT IN A RELAPSE NOW
WITH EYES HALF OPEN AND A TRAIL OF HEAD CRUMBS,
TELL ME AGAIN WHERE YOU ARE FROM

>>6738968
It sounds like Michael Jackson's thriller.

>>6742142
It sounds like trippy indian music

>>6738968
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

>>6741714
>Skip hydrocity
Go suck off a shotgun

>>6738968
It’s a fucking classic

>>6743504
Nice, someone who finally likes it.

>>6738971
Nothing wrong with reddit though.

>>6743509
>liking the most boring of the water levels
wew

>>6743875
I'm not that guy but how can you call the first level to let you run on water the worst

it's still a water level, and its name causes spergouts to this day

>>6743875
Tidal Tempest is the most boring, it's worse than Labyrinth. Great music but it has absolutely nothing going for it.

>>6738976
Try not to play it fast.

>>6738968
Act 1 is pretty fun. Act 2 can feel a bit slow at times.

>>6740394
I actually really like Chaos Angel from Advance 3.
Music Plant from Advance 2 was also pretty cool.

>>6741872
Prove it.

Played through it recently in complete collection and I like it, it's an integral part of showing off the island.

I hate Carnival zone though. Fucking thing sucks.

>>6738968
It has the best boss fight in the series, at least

I like it, and I really like hilltop zone.

>>6745618
It is a really good boss, isn't it? Thinking about it, it's a ton of fun.

>>6738968
No we do not

Was this a pagan god?

>>6743540
except there literally is

>>6746063
thats some deep lore, they got googly eyed niggers in sonic land who invented these peaceful joggers?

>>6738968
>enormous, plenty of things to discover with Knuckles and Tails
>an abundance of giant rings
>music that slaps
What's not to love?

>>6738968
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.

It's not my favorite from Sonic 3, but still above Carnival Night Zone for sure.

>>6739018
Same, I just love that sound effect.

>>6746063
Seriously this was uncanny as hell.
Sonic 3 in general ditched the psychedelic and otherworldly feel of Sonic 1 and 2 and went for a much more real world approach.

>>6738968
Sure , why not? The sonic trilogy is perfect so therefore the levels are too.

>>6753040
The original classic Sonic trilogy is Sonic 1, Sonic 2 and Sonic CD

>>6753057
*cricket sounds*

*tumbleweed rolls past*

>>6738968
it sucked fucking dick

>>6738968
I like it fine. Always thought it was fun.

Opinions are so divided, fuck.

>>6740623
Oil ocean is the best in S2

>>6754905
Fuck no.

I usually turn Sonic 2 off after Hill Top. Everything after that zone sucks dick.

>>6738968
yes with sonic andor tails, big no with knuckles

>>6754926
Based

For me, it's Aquatic Ruin Zone. That fucking music.

>>6743540
Go back, then

>*urt*

>>6759707
I usually felt that noise was like "gurk!"

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.

>>6738994

Casino Night just seems so old to me - the Vegas motif and music is really retrograde.

>>6740623

The worst Sonic zone is Labyrinth followed by Metropolis.

>>6759732
>retrograde
?

>>6738975
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.
