He only PRETENDS to run slower for adventure and fun, and so he doesn't run through walls or accidentally pull a Back to the Future thing on us and time travel because he was too fast. I mean, seriously, he's slowing himself down on purpose. HE can and has crashed into walls occasionally. I think it as introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 where running into walls cause Sonic to humurously crash and see stars, but other than that it's fine. Sonic Unleashed made more of a bigger deal of it such as having to quick-step through Rooftop Run avenues while boosting.

Also, there are only three occasions when Sonic time traveled. Sonic CD, Sonic '06 and Sonic Generations. Sonic' can't run as fast as time on his own.

I'm sure Sonic would appreciate your enthusiasm on his abilities but I'm sure he is humble enough to admit he needed a bit of help at times when he wanted to go acceptionally fast, such as being Super Sonic.

If it's any constellation, I think Super Sonic has more of a chance in beating the Flash in both a race and a fight than regular Sonic can. Not only Super Sonic can reach the speed of light without the need of Light Speed Shoes but his invincibility will allow Sonic to withstand any quick attacks from Flash.
