User blog comment:The Shadow Of Darkness/Ideas for Setting of Next Sonic Game/@comment-5215338-20130602203611/@comment-1410665-20130604144039

Well yeah. I can choose not to. But the game isn't built for that. It feels a little broken without. Sonic Team can make a game where Sonic's normal running can be tolerant. That can only be done with a lot of platforming and thinking if it's 3D, that way you wont have to rely on speed.
