Because Sonic Colors was not announced yet at the time the poll was released, none of its stages appeared in the poll.

Reviews

Each stage has two acts, one for Classic Sonic and one for Modern Sonic. The Classic Sonic stages are traditional, two-dimensional platforming affairs similar to the character's early adventures on Mega Drive. The platforming feels convincing and familiar, with the same physics that made the character's early outings such a success. Those that played Sonic The Hedgehog 4 will be all too familiar with how poorly the game replicated classic Sonic's core abilities — but that really isn't a problem here.
