What's a pain is that whenever you lose rings you can't get them back which is ridiculous since Sonic already knows how to pick up his rings when he loses them. Rings can be seen in the bonus levels or during the boss fights which is a little bit strange. There are no rings to find in the main levels so each time you're hit you lose some time and when that runs out you'll lose a life. The spin dash is best used when you want to go faster but however using it becomes extremely horrendous to control because if you hold the button to long then your spin dash will leave you bouncing off walls repeatedly or in the later levels make you fall to your death. Sonic has no speed what-so-ever and he can only relay on his spin dash to take down Eggman's Robots.

While the movement is aligned well to the Circle Pad and D-Pad but everything else will make you bump into walls like a ping pong ball. The biggest problem that you're going to have with the game is the really bad controls and gameplay design. Does that sound simple to you? Well guess what, it isn't! Your goal is to get 3 keys that are scattered around each level before the time runs out. You play through 4 different Labyrinths with each consisting about 3 acts and a boss battle to fight on the 4th act. In Sonic Labyrinth Dr Eggman (formally known as Dr Robotnick) swaps Sonic's shoes for sneakers which slow his speed down considerably and Sonic has to enter the Super Labyrinth in order to regain his Speed Shoes back. It's unfortunately made its way onto the 3DS Virtual Console through the Nintendo EShop. Chances are that if you've played Sonic Adventure DX or Sonic Mega Collection Plus you've seen perhaps one of Sonic's worst games of all time called Sonic Labyrinth.

The Game Gear Sonic titles where mostly decent back then but however cause of the Game Gear weak popularity left some fans out of their lesser known titles. Sonic Labyrinth will simply horrify today's Sonic fans as it did 17 years ago
