* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Robotnik an idiot for creating the Pinball Defense System, or is it because he wants to watch Sonic squirm?

** Interestingly, unrelated stories in ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'' and ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'' feature Robotnik trapping Sonic in a giant pinball table (not themed after the games), explicitly for the second reason. Except in those, Robotnik is the one in control of the flippers.


Added DiffLines:

** Two of the game's bosses are a screaming robotic scorpion with Robotnik's face, and the Roboiler, a boiler with four UncannyValley Robotnik heads that ''vomit boiling lava.''


Added DiffLines:

** The GameBoy Advance port included in Sega Smash Pack suffers from extreme screen crunch, making it difficult to see much of anything in the direction Sonic is moving.

* MostWonderfulSound: When you defeat a boss, the music stops and is replaced by the boss's satisfying ChainReactionDestruction for a good 10 seconds or so.

* PortingDisaster: The Game Gear / Master System version. Although the levels are remarkably similar compared to other SonicTheHedgehog ports (not necessarily by its own merits), whatever physics existed in the Genesis version were thrown completely out the window. Worse is the platforming engine, in which Sonic has an innate tendency to get himself stuck.

* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: The game likes to constantly remind you of your objectives if you keep hitting the wrong targets.
** Welcome to the first level, Toxic Caves! '''CLUCK ALERT!'''
** To make progress in Lava Powerhouse, you need to '''BUST DOOR FIRST''' or '''BUST CORK FIRST...'''
** Showdown, the final stage, is particularly bad with this tr--'''BUST BLOCKS FIRST!'''

Added DiffLines:

* ScrappyMechanic: The steam valves in Lava Powerhouse used to get into the air so Sonic can bounce off of randomly spawning Clucks, and rise up to higher levels. They're very finicky while presenting no actual challenge or danger.

* BreatherLevel: The Machine, ironically. It's big and labyrinthene, but there are only two places to die (the twin drains at the bottom), so you can more or less relax and take your time. The Veg-O-Machine itself also turns out to be a BreatherBoss... followed right thereafter by a DifficultySpike up the butt called "The Showdown".
