Minor doesn't automatically make it moody, but the mainstream games get away with it a lot more because those minor tracks usually have a funk, rock'n'roll, or Michael Jackson influence to them and they actually are upbeat and driving. Would you say Egg Rock Zone is as uplifting or upbeat as Death Egg Zone? What about Deep Sea versus Hydrocity?
My point is just that I want to see a little more tonal variety. Sonic CD Jap only has two zones in major, and that's still one more zone than SRB2.
Also, Mushroom Hill is predominantly major with minor undertones. That would make it 5 zone themes out of 12, aka roughly 40:60.
