Hello Randomwriter64. I see that we disagree over Sonic's speed, so rather than starting an editing war, I would hope that we can discuss this over instead. I understand your viewpoint and what is presented seems strange and contradicting, but that is what has been measured in the game, and unlike other instances, this is grounded in correct measures rather than perception.

For Sonic Battle, Emerl wanted to fire a Cannon in 30 seconds. However, Sonic was able to beat Emerl before that happened which means that this battle took place in less than 30 seconds. It might seem unlikely, but those are the fast facts we are given and anything we deem otherwise is chalked up to the perception which is ambiguous.

For Sonic Unleashed we have these facts given: Chip says in-game that Sonic zooms at light speed when using Light Speed Dash. The point markers measures Sonic speed when passing them in SPD (we don't know the size of that measure but that is the point). The point markers measures Sonic's speed to this number when Light Dashing by them and they measures Sonic's speed as much higher then boosting by them. This seems weird, but it is also clear numbers (which does not lie) we are given which gives an estimate of Sonic's speed. The Light Speed Dash may not seem as much in SPD, but we don't know how much one SPD is equivalent so we can't say if there is contradiction there. This seem contradictory, but it is what that has been observed and with numbers to support it makes it as much valid as it get until something is given to contradict the measure. Also, from an in-story perspective, Sonic said in Sonic Colors DS that Light speed was nothing to him.
