Marble Zone is the second zone in Sonic 1, after Green Hill Zone. It is a cave/ruin area containing large amounts of lava. Bats fly around, and spikes attached to chains fall from the ceiling.

Instruction Manual Description

Leap across pools of red-hot lava and shifting islands. The find the way to the underground palace where massive weights and flying balls of fire block your path.

Sonic Team Commentary (from Sonic Jam Strategy Guide)

Early in production, Labyrinth Zone was going to be the second stage. But Labyrinth is much harder than the early stages, and it would have been a sudden spike in the difficulty. Sonic is really a different sort of action game compared to anything that had been made at that time, so we really wondered if it was OK to have him running through every stage so quickly, so we wanted there to be a moment for the player to catch his breath.
