Can we agree that this game had good music? https://youtu.be/IaykX3Cie3E

I agree, at least.

Yes, which is the first thing anyone will say positive about that game.
I still enjoyed those emerald stages, how colorful the game was and those sprites.
The mechanic was interesting, but not well executed. The zones didn't helped that much because they were here and there, as they being 5 acts each.

If this ever gets a Remake treatment, they should include Sonic and Tails as unlockables. As changing the random of the zone select, at the very least making it slower or something.

They probably made the zones random because pretty much all the acts look and play the same, so getting through the same level 5 times would have been even more of a chore. And there's 5 acts instead of 2 or 3 probably because making levels with preestablished assets is a lot faster than making new zones. Everything about this game screams rushed.
