Parth hreeeeee
This level taking place entirely inside of a cave really separates it from most of the earlier Sonic levels. Aside from the atmosphere, I picked this one especially to see how they’d update it.
14. RED MOUNTAIN
Another great moment in Sonic Soundtracks, as well as a fun romp through mountains and volcanoes. The music in the second half and that part where there’s the weird stripe guys in the jail cells inside the volcano is what edges out Twinkle Park for a spot in Generations. Oh and also those dancing skull gravestones.
13. LAUNCH BASE ZONE
Launch base zone was my favorite. Great music that might or might not have been made by Michael Jackson, little traps that summoned robots, and all the fun spinning things were great, and then the second stage added water and pipes in an interesting way. I wouldn’t mind seeing a bit of the area Knuckles ends up in show up as an added treat.
12. SPAGONIA
Spagonia is probably the go-to level for Sonic Unleashed, at least on the Wii. It’s beautiful, the music is great, and I’d love to see an older-school take on it.
11. MUSHROOM HILL ZONE
Being the first place you can play as Knuckles (aside from those multiplayer levels in Sonic 3) is a pretty good reason for inclusion in this game. But so are those great big bouncy mushrooms. And how the level gradually changes color at the end. I’d be happy to see this one make it into the game, but I’m not holding my breath.
