Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode: II

[~Axis~]

... who collects rings; breaks monitors to get rings, shields, etc.; can jump straight through enemies to kill them; has a bigger focus on momentum...

oh hey wait, it's not really mario at all! sonic without speed is sonic 1 minus green hill zone and star light zone.

Uhh... Actually, SEGA tried to make Sonic 1 quick paced, they just didn't EMPHISIZE on the speed. They emphisized on the platforming instead. I don't get it, it's like when I put the word "speed" and "sonic" in the same sentence, it instantly means going in excess of 400 mph. What I'm trying to say is, what's a sonic game without MOMENTUM BASED PLATFORMING.
