"Why is this level right after Green Hill Zone? It's too much harder and slower. Totally should've swapped placed with Star Light." It could've been worse. Prototype versions, according to level select, most likely had LABYRINTH zone as the second zone. And hey, it's nice to have Star Light as a breather before Scrap Brain.
Marble Zone is one of the most important sonic levels though. Just like how Green Hill trains you to go fast and shows you the ropes and basics, Marble zone teaches you to slow down and be patient. Its an important step heading forward. Especially since Labyrinth is the 4th zone, which to first timers can be a bitch but once you know the ropes its easy af. Its just slow af. Worse than Marble in terms of pacing lol. But its not the hardest in terms of gameplay. Imo Scrap Brain is the hardest zone in terms of getting hit and losing rings. The problem with labyrinth is drowning and the boss (patience is key to that). Marble is VERY easy once you learn to not be fast all of the time.
The zones are in lighting order Green Hill zone is day, marble zone is a litte darker, spring yard zone is after noon, labryinth well i guess is slightly darker... , star light is night, and scrap brain is starting the next day
+ThatPaleKid88 i absolutely adored marble zone. it's the reason i played a sonic game. i kid you not. i find every level besides marble zone and labyrinth zone to be a heap of speed and randomness with no consistency at all. but marble and labyrinth make you slow down and think for a moment. if i was ever in charge of designing my very own platformer, i would literally dedicate a level to this zone :) but i have not played starlight or scrap brain yet, so i guess i cant place the title of "favorite" yet. i feel like if this game wasnt all "SONIC" and "GADDA GO FAST" i would totally place marble zone as the first level and green hill as the second... if green hill was slightly harder.
FUN FACT: The original running order of the zones in Sonic 1 (confirmed by level select) was Green Hill, _Labyrinth_, Marble, Star Light, Spring Yard, and then Scrap Brain / Final Zone. That actually makes more sense considering the zones' environments, but it was changed very late in production because Labyrinth turned out harder than expected and they wanted to make the difficulty curve less bullshit.
+Soufriere Labyrinth was a pain in the but. I'm just glad its not the second zone because alot of people will break their controllers and turn on the SNES under the cabnit.
+Soufriere I'll be damned. Labyrinth Zone can go to hell. xD I think it wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't panic and forget which bubbles you are supposed to pass and just push on. I always died waiting for bubbles in this one spot.
"Hello Sonic, you're a hedgehog with superspeed, enjoy green hill zone, run fast you little blue furball you." *gets through green hill zone* "Oh hello again Sonic, you made it through the Green Hill Zone eh? Good for you. Welcome to the Marble Zone where that superspeed of yours....yeah it's useless here, enjoy life in the slow lane hedgehog"
Always enjoyed this lvl. Didn't know folks thought it was that damn hard. Then again, Labyrinth Zone is the bane of my freaking existence in a Sonic game.
I wanted this zone so bad in generations :(... anyway sonic mania looks really good and it give me hope that we are finally going to get another good game after generations.
don't get me wrong, green hill is iconic... but boy, everyone seems to sleep on marble zone. god it's so fun. really whish that sega would do like a generations 2 or something, remastering the rest of the levels from the sonic games. spring yard, marble zone, emerald hill, etc... good stuff
Ah, lovely Marble Zone. With all the lava and spike that come with it. And the annoying exploding caterpillar enemies. I find it funny that people complain about it. When Labyrinth was 20 times harder, and was an absolute nightmare for me. And on top of that, there was Scrap Brain.
Maybe, This stage for me was pretty challenging. Especially the act 3, where you have to jump from hanging smasher to another one, with laval 1 floor down (last section before getting outside and meet the boss. )
Fuck this level, it comes right after the first level, it's hard as fuck you need to stop EVERY GODDAMN TIME YOU MEET A PILLAR. It's slow-placed, and you have to get through it EVERYTIME.
Well I think sonic 1 is a more platforming based game with some speed included in the game. Later sonic games such as sonic 2 and 3&K are more speed based.
Your remixes are and will continue to be the best we will miss you Dr. Rebernik I hope that new people in the sonic fandom and see your work appreciate it ... bye dr.Rebernik one of the best Sonic fandom remixers Hello I speak Spanish but still ... Does anyone know what happened to this channel? Dr. Rebernik one of the best 😭❤❤
I never knew people thought this level was hard, I just played through without thinking what was happening, I just died a few times in the boss (about 2-3 times) and thought it was an ordinary level.
It couldn't because of completely different music composition approach. This track you see here is made by using sound SAMPLES. Sega console back then had YM sound chip which is its own synthesizer using SINE wave and modifiers. And to be honest I like original more.
In sonic generations it should’ve gone Emerald hill zone Quartz quadrant zone Marble zone BOSSES Knuckles fight Big arm (even though it’s already in sonic generations on 3ds) Ice cap zone Lava Reef zone Windy valley BOSSES Death egg robot Shadow Grand metropolis City escape (I can’t lose that awesome remix) Night carnival zone BOSSES Silver Neo metal sonic Sweet mountain Windmill isle Scrap brain zone (sonic 1) Final boss
I remember Marble, and my gosh. It was tricky, but I enjoy a challenge! Hey, it IS better then LABYRINTH being the second zone like they were originally planning! Thank goodness that changed!
Look I'm going to be honest, I was deliberately provactive, it was a dick move on my behalf, due to a mixture of frustration and just needing someone to take it out on someone keyboard warrior style for my own personal amusement! You did the right thing by being rational, clearly stating that I was over the top and calling me out on it, but in a non-aggressive way. That is what you should do, I was hoping for a bit more of a verbal diatribe and challenge! I personally think it was the right thing to do for Marble Zone as sometimes a short sharp shock is useful in gaming! I get you and I'll not bother you again, but if you feel like having a fake comment war to make you feel better, I'm cool with that! A bit mild antagonism helps fire up the bodies chemical reactions, react faster and ultimately makes Marble Zone a little bit easier with all that adrenaline!
At least it's not as bad as the NES Kid Icarus difficulty curve. That shit was actually backwards somehow (First level is infuriatingly hard, after which the later levels are legitimately easier.
I've never played Kid Icarus, but I remember a Genesis/Mega Drive game called Gynoug and that was fucking hard, one-touch character kill and about 3 billion enemies on the screen (ok, I'm exaggerating slightly!) Still that's fucked up that the start is hard, but gets easier in Kid Icarus, it's kind of anti-climactic as I like a challenge and enjoy it when a game gets more difficult. However back to the original post, Marble Zone rules and compared to Labyrinth, it's a piece of piss, and compared the Scrap Brain Zone, particularly Scrap Brain Zone 3, it's a fucking cakewalk! You can't access the Special Stages in Scrap Brain, but even you could, it's almost impossible to retain 50 rings to the end of the level!
I found out that there's an unused track in the overlooked Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog, and that was an 8-bit version of Marble Zone. Strange, isn't it?
Dark EXE dang I don't have enough money. I spent it all on earthbound. I seriously thought it was from some youtube video or Nintendo video I never seen #ripnintendovideo
Marble zone could be good. Just make the platforming more intense (focus on the jumping lava instead of slow moving blocks) and more lava chase scenes.
*start singalong* this level might be a bit tad little harrrrd! *doo doo doo doo* but the music is fuckin bea utif ffuulllll! *dooo doo doo doo* insert cheesy lyrics here for your super cheesy sooong! *doo doo doo doo* iiiiiii love thiiis fuckin soooong! *bling bling ba-bling!* (repeat)
*remembers how this somehow is the only stage I feel screen crunch is impossible to fix* Seriously. Even Christian whitehead, with all of his quality of life improvements... could not save me from the falling spikes and lava. I just want my damn chaos emerald >_
I can’t tell if I love or hate this level, I find it fun and challenging but than again it’s decently hard for me to get past it, all I know is I despise act 3.
If Labyrinth was the second level and you played it blind, I'm pretty sure you would kind of think you wasted your money and should have bought Super Mario World.

The ironing is poetic
hahahahahhahahahahhahahahaha
What people should be asking is “am I the only one who didn’t like this level” instead
I feel like I loved the level. Thinking about it, I didn't. However, as a 39 year old, I love it lol
"Why is this level right after Green Hill Zone? It's too much harder and slower. Totally should've swapped placed with Star Light."
It could've been worse. Prototype versions, according to level select, most likely had LABYRINTH zone as the second zone.
And hey, it's nice to have Star Light as a breather before Scrap Brain.
Oh dear god, I get PTSD just by thinking about Labyrinth being the second one.
I'm not sure about this but I pretty much think that everyone despises water levels. Not only Sonic, but Mario and Rayman too.
Plus the order of music and scenery feel better this way.
Marble Zone is one of the most important sonic levels though. Just like how Green Hill trains you to go fast and shows you the ropes and basics, Marble zone teaches you to slow down and be patient.

Same here

To me, it's the hardest zone, but I still love it. Plus my favourite Sonic theme is in it soo..
WolvelyGamer hardest zone to me would be scrap brain zone cause act 3
+ThatPaleKid88 yea this zone is fun, scrap brain was pretty hard

+Soufriere the difficulty curve was more bull shit cause we weren't prepared
That explains the credits music.
I am one of the few people who find labyrinth zone easier than marble zone.
"Hello Sonic, you're a hedgehog with superspeed, enjoy green hill zone, run fast you little blue furball you."

Act 1: simple
Act 2: meh
Act 3: WHERES THE CHECKPOINT?
hell yeah
and they say DarkSouls is hard
True
I like Marble Zone
WHY ARE THERE NO RINGS BEFORE THE BOSS
Am i the only person who actually likes this level?
You're not the only one. =D
I like it too!
So do I!
yes
No
I was stuck in this zone for literally months.
The music made it worth it
Boosting the base is probably the best way to bring out the theme of this track. Well done.
Ugh, that addictive bass!!! The bass made this track go bang!!!
Some soundtracks just make their stages so worth it... This song gives me such good vibes I could get stuck on Marble Zone forever.
i WAS stuck on marble zone forever lol
This is my favorite remix of Marble Zone.
Dat bass, man!
you tell em' shadow
jamst3r99 Thanks, Shadow.XD
SUPERSONICGIRLIFY Shadows Everywhere!!! XD
Fernando Natan Poblete Vergara DAMN straight! XD
SUPERSONICGIRLIFY Ehh... what does that mean?
This is just epic as man! I love the beat in the background, really does brings the piece to life more! Great job!
Always enjoyed this lvl. Didn't know folks thought it was that damn hard. Then again, Labyrinth Zone is the bane of my freaking existence in a Sonic game.
Hot damn that bassline! Instant fave and download
I like this map, it forces you to slow down and watch your steps
One of my favorite Sonic 1 lvl along with Starlight being my first
I can totally see this in Sonic Generations...
epicjubjub02 yep theres a mod with all sonic 1 levels if u like il find a link for u
jamst3r99 please send me s link email: spidermiles876@gmail.com
ok dude il send it to ya real soon k :)
Thanks : p
All the block pushing... I don't want to think about it...
I wanted this zone so bad in generations :(... anyway sonic mania looks really good and it give me hope that we are finally going to get another good game after generations.
yeah it really does, i hope sega creates a new 2d sonic series after mania
At least it arrived in Lego Sonic
Technically the music composer for sonic mania Tee Lopes did remix Marble zone
NeoKurow your dream came true.....
@@Zj2030 This didn't age well (looking at you Fang boss theme) ua-cam.com/video/FBBgb3UEAKU/v-deo.html
Sonic 1 zones are underrated especially Marble zone
don't get me wrong, green hill is iconic... but boy, everyone seems to sleep on marble zone. god it's so fun. really whish that sega would do like a generations 2 or something, remastering the rest of the levels from the sonic games. spring yard, marble zone, emerald hill, etc... good stuff
All I like from this hell of a level is the music, THAT'S IT.
This lvl & starlight will never lose a place in my heart I love both of those lvl epically starlight cause of the music
Marble Zone Classic - Sonic Generations Remix on vowel is one of the ideas that comes to mind :v
I love this level.Little kid me would die here so much.Even at that point I knew the music was catchy.
My favourite sonic level by far
I love marble zone
I love this level!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME! I can imagine a marble zone mod with a issue, you can't use boost or spindash if don't wanna fall in hot lava
Now this is a certified BOP!
Ah, lovely Marble Zone. With all the lava and spike that come with it. And the annoying exploding caterpillar enemies.
I find it funny that people complain about it. When Labyrinth was 20 times harder, and was an absolute nightmare for me. And on top of that, there was Scrap Brain.
I'm the only one who always thought that this stage was easy?
It's easy, just really slow.
+Blaze Heatnix Really, REALLY slow!
It was, besides the fact that if you miss a platform you get launched back through the beginning of the level. That happened to me a couple of times
Maybe, This stage for me was pretty challenging. Especially the act 3, where you have to jump from hanging smasher to another one, with laval 1 floor down (last section before getting outside and meet the boss. )
@@dirtydeedsdonedirtcheap7818 Agreed. Makes me wish the freaking spin dash existed in Sonic 1 when it was ORIGINALLY RELEASED.
I think this level serves as a reminder that Sonic isn't just about speed, there's platforming in it as well
I LOVE THIS SONG!
The Remix too!
Fuck this level, it comes right after the first level, it's hard as fuck you need to stop EVERY GODDAMN TIME YOU MEET A PILLAR.
It's slow-placed, and you have to get through it EVERYTIME.
Noob
@@frank627full4 It's a *snoic* level not a *slug* level
Well I think sonic 1 is a more platforming based game with some speed included in the game.
Later sonic games such as sonic 2 and 3&K are more speed based.
what? was i the only one who didn't have a hard time with this level as a kid?
1:47 this part is just filled with nostalgia
The level I think of most in Sonic 1 after Green Hill and Star Light Zone.
AMAZING!
Also I love this level.
This sound so fast for some baffling reason, good job
This remix spits fire so amazing ❤️
Your remixes are and will continue to be the best we will miss you Dr. Rebernik I hope that new people in the sonic fandom and see your work appreciate it ... bye dr.Rebernik one of the best Sonic fandom remixers Hello I speak Spanish but still ...
Does anyone know what happened to this channel?
Dr. Rebernik one of the best 😭❤❤
Ahh the ground's on fire!!!
I never knew people thought this level was hard, I just played through without thinking what was happening, I just died a few times in the boss (about 2-3 times) and thought it was an ordinary level.
It's not hard, just slow as fuck. Not as slow as Labyrinth, but still up there.
One of my favorite songs in this game.
Top 5
Strange. I don’t remember this level being in sonic generations.
because it's fan made
I LOVE IT
PERFECTION
THE BEST REMIX
OF SONIC 1
I like this video
THIS IS SO MUCH PAIN, SO MUCH PAIN, SO MUCH PAIN, EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE.
Makes me want to fall in lava in HD.
Me and the boys using the rhythm of the stage to beat the stage
I think this is how the Genesis would have sounded like if it had High Definition back in the day.
This sounds like how it should have been is 1991.
It couldn't because of completely different music composition approach. This track you see here is made by using sound SAMPLES. Sega console back then had YM sound chip which is its own synthesizer using SINE wave and modifiers.
And to be honest I like original more.
Apparently, this what it sounded like before it was ported into the genesis

In sonic generations it should’ve gone
Emerald hill zone
Quartz quadrant zone
Marble zone
BOSSES
Knuckles fight
Big arm (even though it’s already in sonic generations on 3ds)
Ice cap zone
Lava Reef zone
Windy valley
BOSSES
Death egg robot

Grand metropolis
City escape (I can’t lose that awesome remix)
Night carnival zone
BOSSES
Silver
Neo metal sonic
Sweet mountain
Windmill isle
Scrap brain zone (sonic 1)
Final boss
Right after the Legendary Green Hill Zone is this
Think this level is hard? They were originally gonna put Labyrinth Zone as the second level in this game!
wHHHHHHHYYYY?!
Joel the hedgehog: ah yes medieval marble grove what a beautiful place
I remember Marble, and my gosh. It was tricky, but I enjoy a challenge! Hey, it IS better then LABYRINTH being the second zone like they were originally planning! Thank goodness that changed!
Marble comes after Green Hill because the developers wanted you to take a break after the high speeds of Green Hill. I'm serious!
It could be worse. Originally the second level was gonna be Labyrinth.
***** That's how gaming should be, a challenge, not with unlimited continues or baby step difficulty. If you want easy, play Sonic 2!

Welcome To Marble Zone, the Level That Features LAAAAVAAA
This level was made because of this tune! 👌

The Ruins Of How You Feel Something About It.
Thinking about it now, everytime I played this level, I thought of Sonic Underground.
(This is a response to the description) well because labyrinth was the 2nd stage in the beta but they change their mind and went to marble
Marble was actually supposed to be the Zone after Labyrinth, with StarLight following
I believe he meant the description to be a joke :/
Caterkiller was always my favorite Badnik for some reason...
I think I was too harsh with this level...
Marble Zone is fun until act 3
That's where shit gets real
Sonic: man I remember this it was very hard
I like the level and the remix even though it's close to the original song
kind of disappointed this was not in generations

Marble zone could be good.
Just make the platforming more intense (focus on the jumping lava instead of slow moving blocks) and more lava chase scenes.
It's the first game. They were being experimental with this.
They swapped labyrinth with this so to have another swap would be redundant

Hey, Labyrinth zone was intended to be played right after green hill, wouldn't that be a nice second level?
a few years ago, I would have said no. now, I wish it was the second level just to get it done and over with
If Labyrinth was the second level and you played it blind, I'm pretty sure you would kind of think you wasted your money and should have bought Super Mario World.

I'll be honest; never made it past this zone, and I don't recall anyone else ever doing it, either. Hard as balls, 0/10 would not try again...
This is sounds more sick than the original 😎👍
If there would be a speed shoes version, do speed 2x
Why do I hear the song to watch the girls go by as sung by Andy Williams in my head when I play this zone
