Same for me. In fact, I think that Sonic's gotta-go-fast nature is counter intuitive for the genre of the game. Platformers are all about jump precision between plataforms but Sonic basically asks you to keep your shoes on the ground, running as fast as possible. And then the game's level put obsticles and cliffs that harm you if you run like Sonic is supposed to do, so you have not run and lose momentum that is required for him to run in specific parts of the levels. To me, Sonic is a mess
