I have tried and subsequently disliked every Sonic game I've ever played, like one, two, three and knuckles, all of em.

That being said I recently picked up Sonic Mania and it's fucking PEAK. They finally decided to make a good Sonic game after like 20 years and it payed off SO HARD.

No it isn't! Sonic Mania has level designs that make going fast feel fun and all the other ones put spikes and springs and weirdly tricky platforming sections everywhere that actively punish you for it.

@AppleAmps going fast is supposed to be the reward for figuring out how not to give the hedgehog a couple dozen extra spikes

Well yeah but Sonic's movement is so insaaaanely slippery and imprecise that figuring out how not to spike him is always giga ass. Like sure yeah it's "momentum platforming" or whatever but in practical terms that means the entire game is one big ice level.
