    Kinda cool having Sonic perch and scout from the top of a structure. Nice nod to the OVA film. The soundtrack is really soothing and enjoyable to listen to. Granite Zone his really giving me Marble Zone vibes though, but I will say, the swinging spike balls from Marble Zone swinging in depth from background to foreground instead of the traditional side to side was a great touch of evolution. That 3D boss fight at the end was really cool, I wasn't expecting that.

    Some really cool ideas, but the clinging mechanic shouldn't be automatic, it messes up the momentum of the game.
    I love the aesthetic of stage 2, however. Very nostalgic, fits in perfectly with the tropical glitz of the early 90s. Also that final battle looks fantastic.
