Also in most classic Sonics, he was faster rolling down a hill as a ball because it makes sense that a ball rolling down a hill would be faster than something running down it. It mimics real physics, and it feels more immersive. The fact that you can't stop on a dime, or have trouble walking up a hill, is a good thing. There are logical reasons why Sonic controls the way he does. Is this just a matter of perspective? Like should I be focusing more on exploration than getting to the end of the level at the fastest time? Or am I just doomed to be 'meh' about classic sonic forever? Maybe my perspective has just been tainted by the evils of 'modern' sonic, but even in generations I found myself enjoying the modern versions of levels way more than the classic versions. I'm aware of the quick spin after a jump, but it's not as strong as a spin dash so it won't help you reach high places (it's a good addition though) Finding alternate paths requires moving slowly through the levels, which is against the game's design. Environments and obstacles rush by too quickly for you to appropriately react to or appreciate. Spin dash speeds seem somewhat inconsistent Doing a spin dash requires being completely still, but a slight tap forward makes sonic move and his momentum doesn't stop for about half a sec, which makes attempting to do a spin dash somewhat annoying Controls are clunky and unintuitive, sonic's momentum feels very hard to control. Is nostalgia a big factor in this? My problems include: I picked up sonic mania on the switch and I'm not really feeling the magic, but I want to. I played various 2D sonic games including Sonic Advance 3 and the Sonic Rush titles (enjoyed both a lot). I missed out on Sonic 1-3 because I only had nintendo consoles growing up and the first sonic game I played was SA2:Battle (I loved it back then). So to preface, I did not grow up with classic sonic games. Six subreddits from this multireddit are randomly shuffled every hour. You can also read the rules in more depth on our wiki.
