Part of what makes Sonic CD so loved by many is the level design. Most Sonic games are about simply getting to the goal, where Sonic CD encourages exploration. Part of the fun is memorizing which route is the fastest and safest or trying different ways to activate the time travel. Every level always has at least one area with two springs that bounce you back and fourth, making the time travel mechanic effortless to use. It's also unique for offering two ways to get the good ending. You could either travel back into the past and destroy the robot generator in each Zone or you could simply go for the Time Stones.

I can easily see why some people can call it "horrible level design". Sonic CD requries more thought then "I get Sonic to end!" to be properly appreciated.
