SoHey guys, we don't know how to pin down basic mechanics, i've got a great idea.
Let's add as many as possible!
Sonic use to just naturally speed up with momentum. Let's make it so you have to hold down an extra button to make him go fast!
Hey, parkour lets add that, I'm sure it won't make players stick to a wall constantly!
Hey, that annoying targeting lock that never worked? Let's add it again and make the stages so tight, it will automatically take over where the player actually wants to go!
Wow, that Mario Galaxy game scored well. Great ideas too. Let's totally abandon typical Sonic and do that, because that's the problem. Not basic, bad design, we just didn't throw enough shit at the wall to see if it sticks!
Let's add out of place villains that look ripped from Cartoon Network!
Let's use a strict timer to stop the player getting all those pickups we encourage them to pickup without playing over and over!
