I agree. When I first played Jazz Jackrabbit, it seemed like an interesting gimmick for a platformer for the character movement to be based on speed, but since, in a side-view 2D platformer, you can’t actually see what is ahead of the character more than a screenful, this represents too short a time to react to anything. It’s like a game made only for speedrunners who want to play the same level again and again to memorize it and get the best possible route. This was not how I played games, so I never played it any more. Since SRB2 is using a 3D view, it seems that you can maintain the speed design while still have reasonable chance to react in time, since you can see what is actually ahead of the character.
