I just dug out my Mega Drive.

Scrap Brain Zone is the final level of Sonic 1 (besides the final boss...in the aptly named 'Final Zone'). It has little flamthrowers, spinning buzzsaws, and a whole load of Caterkillers, if that helps.

You see, if you were any good at the game you'd never reach the hyper-super-mega annoying sound of the drowning countdown.

While Sonic 1 didn't have a true pinball level (like Sonic 2's 'Casino Night Zone'), the closest one that you're probably thinking of is Spring Yard Zone. It was the 3rd level, and had those purple badniks with spikes on their top (whose name I forget) - plus those blue and red armadillo-esque badniks called Rollers. The bastards would always roll right into you from behind when you didn't expect them. Fuckers.

Well there are only four 2-player levels for Sonic 2...(well, 3 plus Special Stage), so as I doubt that you're talking about Emerald Hill Zone, I presume you mean Mystic Cave Zone. It does indeed rule, and is a close second for my favourite Sonic 2 level.

Ah, I am reminded of the cool music...*puts on old Sonic midis*.

I would just like to say that the Boss music for Sonic Spinball is so badass that it almost makes me forgive the game completely.

Almost.
