Why do so many people praise Sonic CD?

>you rarely got the chance to have sonic pick up speed and do acrobatics
Not the point of Sonic CD for better or worse.

>the whole soundtrack felt like an attempt to sound "cool" to emerging teenage boys of the 90s.
Both of 'em?

Hipsters

>I thought the level design was awful

such an original opinion

I thought that was a pretty popular opinion but I guess hipsters always manage to switch things around as soon as something becomes popular.

What is wrong with Marble Zone? It is one of my favourites in the whole Sonic saga, I actually enjoy more levels with a more paused pace and not the "le point of soneec is to go fast" meme.

Actually except for maybe Green Hill, in the original Sonic most levels are meant to be played more like a normal platformer, if I try to rush through it I get shitty scores if I can even finish the levels, its like saying Mario is a speedster cause he can sprint, hell, I actually sprint way more often in Mario games.

>speed
>sonic gotta go fast meme

Sonic was never about going fast - I mean, it kinda is now since Unleashed and Generations, but retro Sonic is about acceleration and managing your momentum, not speed.

"Speed" thing was pretty much just marketing slogan not very different from "blast processing" - Sonic is fast because Genesis had a faster CPU than SNES. Sonic had edgy attitude because Nintendo tried to play itself as "family friendly". Sonic is blue because Mario is red. Et cetera. It doesn't have much to do with actual gameplay of the games.

regardless...

Sonic CD was less fun than sonic 1,2&3

>you rarely got the chance to have sonic pick up speed and do acrobatics

So basically, they made a competent platformer, like Super Mario World?

And avoid obstacles that are thrown right in front of you after fast sections, making it impossible to dodge unless you've memorized the levels.

The music and only the music, which isn't even that great. Any other reasons anyone gives you are either A) aspects that they "appreciate" after retroactively inserting it into their memory, or B) parroting some youtuber or e-celeb (see "A").
