Sonic 2 US Manual, p. 13

Sonic Team Commentary (from Sonic Jam Strategy Guide)

The top and bottom of this stage are built completely differently. The loops along the top are a bit different from normal. The water, also, had to have the transparency set exactly right. And then, there are so many places where the routes intersect! From Sonic 2 on, we took a patent in America.
