This is definitely better than the previous SMS Remake.
For a start the game feels much better to control. I don't know if this is to do with the differences between Sonic 1 & 2 8-Bit, any changes to the controls or the increased focus on making additions to the level design, but the gameplay and level design mesh together much better here.
I still wouldn't recommend going Super once you have all the emeralds as you will blitz through these short levels in no time if you do. I also wouldn't say you need to play as the other characters, as the differences they have from Sonic & Tails don't change the gameplay all that much.
