>First level is piss easy
why? I just want one game that is completely out of wack with the difficulty.
>>337967368
Just in Sonic games alone...

Crash Bandicoot the Wrath of Cortex starts with an ice level, I believe.

SA2 starts in a heavily fortified military base in the Dark story
Sonic 06 starts you off in what is basically a lava level in Silver's story
Klonoa 2
Mushroom Hill is still the GOAT first level in any Sonic game.
Prove me wrong.

S3&K is supposed to be one game, so mushroom hill is supposed to be the halfway point in the game.
BTFOI love mushroom hill zone
Mega Man X series, Metroid games, Castlevania

It's also lush, green and relatively safe.
DKC2 and 3
DKC2 in particular had you start out on an enemy vessel, and then threw you into the lava world.
>>337968374
Sylvania, Windmill Isle and Tropical Resort were all fairly lush, green and safe.
>>337970516
It's not all green, and I don't know if you would count trees shedding leaves as lush or not.
>>337971124
Tropical island was neither lush or green though
