if you want to do a lava level, why wouldn't you do lava reef

Because there needs to be a sand level, and Sandopolis is the only one that works. Pyramid Cave from SA2 is well known and got a lot of votes when Sega polled people about what their favorite levels were, but you just can't have an SA2 level that isn't City Escape here. Arid Sands might have worked, but I'd have to replace Cool Edge with it, and in that case, what would the snow level be? Ice Cap's original music can't be used due to legal issues, so best not to use Ice Cap. No one really cares about SA1 or Sonic 2006's snow levels, either. So Cool Edge is the only snow level that works here.

But while Lava Reef wouldn't be used, Red Mountain is the next best thing. It got a lot of votes when Sega polled people about their favorite levels and it's also well known for its music. So it's a well known lava level that could easily be given Lava Reef elements.
