What went wrong with Sonic 3? How'd it manage to so badly butcher the series' unique art style and charm?
Compare Casino Night Zone Carnival Night Zone, or Wing Fortress to Flying Battery. Sonic 3's world design is so bland and soulless compared to the games that came before.

must have hit a little too close to home. why dont you think critically about something dear to you instead of pretending it has no flaws? You will grow as a person. Face it: sonic 3 is what truly began the series’ descent into mediocrity. a shameful cash grab lapped up by people like you who buy into the hype and barely fire a neuron in the process. we call people like you SHEEP.

Flying Battery kicks Wing Fortress's ass retard. Carnival Night is fine but Casino Night is better for the music alone.

Wing Fortress has always been my least favorite zone in Sonic 2 not just because it's annoying to play through, but also because it's an ugly level with shitty music. Flying Battery is better in every single regard.

an interview with sonic team revealed that s&k started development after s3.
What they spent a lot of time into was Sonic 3D, a "3D" sonic game for MD that was going to use the virtua processor but ended up being cancelled.

That's not why they split it into parts, it was just delays were taking so long and even after getting a team to spit out Sonic Spinball in a few months to buy some time, they had to concede and just opt to release the half the game they had finished and then finish the game later.
