>whiny players that refuse to even consider that their skills are lacking, and then scramble to blame anything and everything for their awful playing. I'm just pointing out what I perceive to be a significant flaw. You would need a 15 foot wide screen for this to apply to Sonic. So even on your first lap you can generally tell where you should accelerate and decelerate. Your first lap will certainly not be a record breaker, but you CAN see quite a distance in front of you. Then, after a lot of practice, he can move through the course at a constantly high speed. >Do you think that a race driver who drives on a circuit he's never done before will get a record lap the first time, just because "he can see the turns coming"? No, the first time he'll be moving A LOT slower, learning the lines and braking points for each corner. 2 had smaller levels and they were filled with more action. CD and 3K had levels so huge that they became boring, since they all took a long time to finish but offered near zero challenge. and on top of all that, you had the ability to speed around so fast that no console before could.Īnd the series peaked at Sonic 2. shitload of sprites on screen, like when you lose rings or when you get invincibility and leave a trail of stars colourful and detailed graphics (remember, most people at the time had a NES) The actual levels themselves all run entirely out of RAM. Sonic doesn't even do DMA, other than once per level when it switches out the title card font to badniks, and once again in the end to switch out badniks to the score tally screen and the robot egg you bust open. >The purpose was to show off the Genesis' DMA to developers, which was significantly faster than the SNES' DMA, meaning that you were able to update more screen tiles every frame. Also, going fast is not the goal, it's just a reward if you are good enough, plus bonus eye candy.

You are supposed to figure out the levels, to learn how to avoid getting punished.
