tages
In Sonic Labyrinth, there are a total of four Zones, each containing three acts and a boss battle. The goal is to help Sonic locate three keys hidden throughout the stages and then head to the GOAL door.
Throughout the stages are many enemies just waiting to attack Sonic, so the player must remain aware of his surroundings. The only time Sonic is able to collect rings is during Boss fights (and before fights as Sonic is rolling down a steep incline toward the Boss) but Sonic will "die" in two hits no matter how many rings the player has unless the player ends up with zero rings, then Sonic will only take one hit. With the keys in hand, Sonic can withstand a few attacks by enemies.
Reception
When released, Sonic Labyrinth fared poorly in terms of sales on the market. The game was also heavily criticized by critics and Sonic fans for its almost complete lack of speed and clunky control. The gameplay was non intuitive, often very frustrating, and created a poor gaming experience. Screwattack ranked it second worst sonic game.
