If you think the sonic 2 tree looks weird compared to the others, you should see how it looks on its intended CRT display:

Pixel art on CRT screens is basically an entirely different category of art than what we think of in the modern HD context. Artists did some really cool things not just because they had to deal with technical limitations but turned those limitations into features we don’t see anymore with the exact same software.

Really cool stuff!
