I wonder if they'll add any more zones or if this is just the only one?

This is awesome!

I'd be curious about howthey remix it for the second act

Come on. You remake a crap level like Metallic Madness but can't give us Star Light or Spring Yard? >_>

I'd like to offer the unpopular opinion that almost all of Sonic 1's levels outside of Green Hill Zone are garbage. All the best zones from from Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, though there are a few good ones from 2 as well.

Sonic 1 is severely underappreciated and I can't figure out why. The levels are designed differently, but besides Labyrinth none are bad.

Sonic 3's stages are mostly drawn out and overstay their welcome by the end of act 1. Between Spring Yard and Carnival Night, I'd take the former 10 times out of 10. Between Marble Zone and Marble Garden, same thing.

Seriously, after Angel Island, Sonic 3 doesnt pick up again until Ice Cap.

And it still doesn't explain, if quality of the original levels is considered, why Metallic Madness got in over literally ANY OTHER stage from Sonic CD. (Except maybe Wacky Workbench, which was complete garbage)

Ouch. Marble Garden and Carnival Night are godawful, I'll give you that. But Hydrocity, Ice Cap, and Angel Island are about as good as Sonic can get. I don't think there is a single weak zone in Sonic & Knuckles either (though I'll admit to dreading Flying Battery every singe time I go through it) and the two are basically two halves of one bigger game.

The only SnK level I want to call bad is Sandopolis.

But I'm not sure if that's because its legitimately bad or because I'm still traumatized from that time when I was seven and rented it from Blockbuster and never figured out the endless slide.

Ironically Carnival Nights barrel I figured out in a few minutes. >_>
