GOTTA GO FAST

>GOTTA GO FAST
be punished

>GOTTA GO SLOW
be rewarded

I really don't get it

The reward is GOING FAST.

you're allowed to go fast in the designated fasting street of the zones

most of the time you go slow though, going fast is just the reward for putting upp with going slow for awhile

You can go fast without being punished, people call it speedrunning.

>GOTTA GO CRAZY
be punished

>GOTTA GO CAREFULLY
be rewarded

What's point of going super fast if it's only a reward for mastering the stages?
I can go fast in Mario or any other platformer too if I've mastered them. Doesn't that make Sonic's 'gimmick' pointless?

the point is getting good enough to go fast. pic related

>wanna go fast
>gotta git gud for it

who the fuck designed this shit? i bet they also made it so metroid can't crawl

Sonic 1 struggled to find a clear design philosophy. They tried a bunch of shit to see what stuck.

But you can get good at any game and go fast
If you're good at Mario 1 you can zoom across the stage not touching the ground at all
