Marble Zone is the second zone in Sonic the Hedgehog, after Green Hill Zone. The zone combines the themes of ancient ruins, caves and lava. In contrast with the previous zone, Marble Zone involves more careful, slower-paced gameplay, such as requiring the player to negotiate moving platforms suspended by chains. The concept of switch-controlled doors is also introduced.
Description

Main article: Game Development:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) |
| “ | 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. | „ |
Trivia
- In this zone is a particular graphic representing a pair of lions around a fountain, a stereotypical Greco-Roman idea. It somewhat resembles Mario from the Mario series of games, though this is likely a coincidence.
