Sandopolis Zone Act 1&2 are fun and I'm tired of people pretending it's not.

Also general bread on Sonic with emphasis on under/over rated zones.

They're just long and the design themes are repetitive and not very interesting in how they're implemented. I think there could have been more stuff with sand chases and the rappel rope that could make things more clever for users who adapt. They're certainly programmed to allow more freedom, but execution is weak. Also don't like the music much.

Even on a contrarian as fuck site as 4chins would no one ever say those are their favs. I refuse to believe it.

Act 1 is actually a fun level. Its mini boss sucks but that aside.
Act 2 is the problem.

I was really spooked of these ghosts as a kid.

Cool thing about this zone was that I've played SA2 before Knuckles, so my headcanon was that they are King Boom Boo's servants

Sandopolis is fun. Has a real nice groove to it.
Though it gets more annoying if you can't keep that lighting shield.

Nah just time your jumps and move at a steady pace and it's fine, if you try to rush you'll hit the floor and be catapulted all the way up and waste a ton more time. Patience and precision is key, and that's something that can't be said about any other Sonic zone.

I think canonically they are vengeful ghosts of dead animals which Sonic didn't save from the Robotnik machine in time.
Puts extra weight of guilt on ya.

Or maybe it's just a fan creepypasta BS, I'm not sure.
