NO IT HASENT. My point being is not the "SPEED" that he ran its the fact that the point of the game (of course to me) was that you KEPT running, jumping to avoid obsticals, kill bad guys, get rings, and other items that KEPT you RUNNING! That was the point to me was to KEEP MOVING! At the beginning of Sonic 3 and after it got to damn MAZY. You were dealing to much with figuring out the RIGHT way to go as apposed to running DIFFERENT paths and seeing where it took you.
