Line 26:
* [[It Was His Sled]]: Hidden Palace Zone in the remake is intended to be a surprise to players, but it's pretty much impossible to discuss this in any ''Sonic'' community without someone spoiling it.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Robotnik crosses this in the bad ending of the Master System/Game Gear version. It's hard to see him as the same [[Affably Evil]] [[Mad Scientist]] {{spoiler|after he presumably kills Tails}}.
* [[Polished Port]]: The iOS/Android versions has Knuckles integrated in without needing ''Sonic & Knuckles'', a [[Boss Rush]] mode, an extended vs. mode, an updated soundtrack, and both a finished version and a secret beta version of Hidden Palace. The game also has a couple new visual effects (most evidently, the Special Stage, which has a very smooth framerate). This is due to being built on a new, custom engine designed to port classic ''Sonic'' games.
* [[Porting Disaster]]: The [[PlayStation 3]] version of the game has glitches happen far more often, such as removing hitboxes for some walls that, while you normally wouldn't run into, have springs.
* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: The infamous hang gliding sections from Sky High Zone, panned for the hang glider controls taking a great deal of time to get used to.
Line 56:
** The third act of Green Hills, in comparison to the rest of the zone: it's a poster example of [[Platform Hell]] with hills, springs and spikes, with the final approach to the boss being completely unforgiving in its timing. And no checkpoints means you have to do this again if the boss kills you.
** Scrambled Egg Zone, thanks to the very elaborate and very confusing transportation pipe system, full of [[Trial and Error Gameplay]] as one wrong move can mean inescapable spike pits. There's only one pipe maze with spikes that you CAN climb out of near the end of Act 1, but Act 2 has several spike pipe puzzles, and the last one requires timing with no room for error, or it's a spike pit that is effectively a bottomless pit for Sonic.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Just before Underground Zone's boss, Sonic is sent careening right for a pool of lava... and Eggman saves him from this most-definitely-fatal situation just so Sonic can fight the boss instead. Presumably, Eggman had a [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]] mindset at the time.
