Line 3:
** The bosses with playable characters, along with the first few E-Series battles have particularly slow AI and can be defeated before they even so much as make a proper attack.
* [[Best Level Ever]]: Consensus seems to be Speed Highway, the fastest-paced Sonic level in the game. Sega appears to be part of the consensus, as they practically brought it back in ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' (under the name "Radical Highway") and chose it as the representative stage of this game in ''[[Sonic Generations]].
* [[Cliche Storm]]:
** The entire story is a checklist of many of the standard fantasy, anime and video game cliches (particularly those found in JRPG games like [[Final Fantasy]]'' mixed with [[Kaiju]] films, with Perfect Chaos itself strongly resembling Biollante). Band of heroes out searching for magical trinkets to save the world? Check. Evil mad scientist trying to get the trinkets himself to take over the world while putting up with them? Check. Evil monster is also giving them trouble along the way, eventually becoming the main villain and having a OneWingedAngel showdown with the main hero at the end? Check. Hero defeating the villain by literally using [[The Power Of Love]]? Check, check, and check.
** Gamma's entire story arc is a dime-a-dozen "[[Ronin]] Samurai who turns against his master to strike out on his own" story [[Recycled In Space]] retold in the form of a robot foot-soldier]] (though this is more the case in Japanese media, as its not quite as common of a stock story in western media). Notably, his story arc was deliberately [[Left Hanging]] left unfinished]] in the Archie comic adaptation specifically because the writers realized that his story was [[Its Been Done]] "something you've seen a hundred times if you're a devotee of samurai movies".]] It does lessen this by also playing off as a clever and tragic Deconstruction of the franchise's badnik lore.
* [[Contested Sequel]]: This game started the trend of creating the series' notoriously [[Broken Base]].
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Hello? ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog/Awesome Music|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.
Line 27 ⟶ 24:
* [[Scrappy Mechanic]] - While all of the 3D games have bits of this, SA1 has one of the most loathed in the form of Big the Cat's fishing stages. If you jiggle the control stick even slightly the wrong way, you don't get the fish on the hook, you move the line the wrong way, and you have to reel it in exactly right or it will just magically get off the hook, at minimum stress, when it's ''right next to you''.
** Hunting for Emerald shards is also well-hated.
** The need to charge the Lightspeed Dash renders it useless in almost all instance. Changing it to the sequel's one button dash is a feature of the most popular non-fix mod for the PC version.
* [[Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer]]: The Chao Gardens.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: {{spoiler|Gamma's death.}}
