Well sonic games are… weird. The actual experience of playing them blind is frankly very poor. You want to go fast but you’re constantly stopping because it’s too difficult to play smoothly without prior knowledge of the level. The levels aren’t designed to be particularly challenging to complete; they’re designed to be challenging to master and complete “quickly”. Most of what we think of for evaluating levels is from the ethos of mario. Which is probably the right call as most people don’t want to play platformers levels multiple times.
