Marble Zone, Carnival Night Zone, and Sandpolis Zone immediately come to mind, but there are probably more if I took the time to think about it.
You have to give me an example of Sonic 1. Sonic 1 was planned with this on mind.
Still, those small gimmicks didn't break the pace like having to stop, switch formation, press a button to destroy an object, then switch back, then run.
Green hill zone had breakable walls if I recall correctly, and lets not forget they originally planned to have the wrecking ball Eggman used as a movable object, but scrapped
Spring yard zone actually had you push a button to make a certain platform in certain areas (Which kind of makes on of your opinions false)
heh @ bold part
You don't have to stop to get through the breakable walls, if you had played Sonic 1 you'd know it. Run + down, then you jump and regain acceleration after you land.
and again, I quote:

your forgetting the spring yard zone part so i'm bolding that
an the thing with the breakable walls is that if you don't gain enough speed, you'll most likely stop in the middle of the breakable wall to where, you'd have to start the run + down thing again if you don't jump after pressing the roll command.
