Top Ten Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles Zones

The Top Ten
1 Marble Garden Zone
2 Sandopolis Zone
3 Flying Battery Zone
4 Mushroom Hill Zone
5 Launch Base Zone

Always have been my favorite zone in the entire game, especially the second act. It is the only zone where you fight against three bosses (Two minus Big Arm, as in S3&K).

It is also the most interesting zone in the game, as it is the final zone of Sonic 3, where it later transits into Sonic & Knuckles and into Mushroom Hill (Mushroom Valley) after Death Egg crashes.

6 Sky Sanctuary Zone
7 Hydrocity Zone
8 IceCap Zone
9 Hidden Palace Zone
10 Carnival Night Zone
The Contenders
11 Lava Reef Zone
12 Death Egg Zone
13 The Doomsday Zone
14 Angel Island Zone
