    In Sonic 1, 2 and CD, I always disliked the "boring" parts of stages. Marble Zone is full of them. Springyard has the dull moving block columns. Metropolis's screw bolts are terrible offenders. Because I'm so damn good at the games, these sections aren't difficult by any means. They're just dull. They're impeding my progress, and there's NOTHING I can do to become more skillful at them, so I feel like I'm just waiting.

    If it's any consolation, you can skip all of the rising block sections in act 1 in Spring Yard if you get the speedshoes at the start and have the bumper shoot out over the top of the level :eng101:

    I don't think you can skip them in act 2/3 though.

    I just tested it out. If you play your cards right and take the correct paths, you can actually get through Spring Yard Zone by using a total of only one mandatory moving-block section, which is near the beginning of Act 3. Every other section of that kind in Act 1 and Act 2 can be avoided by mostly sticking to the upper routes. One part towards the end of Act 3 requires taking a lower route instead, in order to bypass another moving-block section.

    Because the level design encourages exploration and back tracking.

    I always wondered why people liked this about Sonic CD. Sonic's movement is very unsuited to backtracking, especially in a speed platformer environment where you're timed. I can get a lot of the rest of Sonic CD, it has wonderful abstract design and bright colors everywhere, along with a great soundtrack, but the level design just feels... weak.

    I almost feel as if the reason Sonic CD's level design is, at times, all over the shop, is due to the fact that the developers couldn't devote a lot of effort to just one layout per level. Rather, each level has Past, Present and Future iterations, so perhaps level layout efforts had to be stretched across those three versions, and thus why they had less time to fully flesh everything out.

    Might already be known, but SEGA's made a blog post about this: Notice of SEGA's Acquisition of Relic Entertainment and Some IPs Owned by THQ Inc.
