I don't want to sound rude but have you played the original games? I know you did since you asked other people but let me remind you something. You had 10 minutes to complete the levels in Sonic while you had about 4-5 in Mario games. Sonic games were not about going fast. Most of the time, you would go rather slowly because there were a lot of obstacles and enemies on the screen. It's just in a few parts of some of the levels where you would go extremely fast. Mario levels have always been more linear and shorter with a few secret passages hidden. Sonic levels were huge and nonlinear so it's true that you had to revisit them over and over again. Personally, I'm not really interested in Sonic Unleashed because it seems to be a bit boring. I'll try it though. We'll see. |
Mario games of the time period also had stages much shorter than Sonic ones and I actually have run out of time in Sonic games (notably the original/Sonic Chaos for the Gamegear - freaking water stages...).
I always played to go as fast as possible except in areas like the water stages and desert stages. The original Sonic felt like it had a lot more things to make you stop than Sonic 2 though.
And yes I have played the original games. My Genesis came with Sonic 2 and I later picked up Sonic, Sonic and Knuckles, and Sonic 3 (though Sonic 3 was used ><).
