If player-controlled sonic was his actual speed, the game would be unplayable. It wouldn't matter that Super Sonic is invincible during final boss fights, the constant ring drain makes each of those fights against the clock as much as against the boss, and the clock would always win because the player wouldn't be able to make Sonic hit the boss.

as a mario guy i am too slow for this video, i looked away for a second and sonic had already burned up in the atmosphere but he lived becoz he had rings

[@MegaManXegesis]

Personally, I've always liked the theory that he usually doesn't do supersonic speeds in-game because it would cause serious collateral damage. His *whole thing* is having fun by fighting to protect nature and freedom, and exploring the planet. He has to limit himself to protect the things he cares about. At minimum, the constant sonic boom (Sonic Boom, SONIC BOOM) would shatter countless windows, give everyone hearing damage, and terrify non-sapient animals into near-permanent hiding. _Everyone would hate him._ In-game, he already exerts enough force on his environment to break some rock walls, and can generate hurricane force winds. Ramp that up by even a little more, and he'd be a constant natural disaster. The only times we really see him reach or exceed supersonic speeds naturally is when he's well clear of any nature and non-Eggman civilization that could be damaged, (Running up the giant chain in Sonic CD, or down the space elevator in Colors) And then there are the cases when the normal laws of physics don't apply, like Super Sonic, which is when we see light speed movement with no negative repercussions, like he's The Flash or something. But those are limited-time events, and he otherwise has to limit himself. Because while trouble keeps him running faster, let us not forget that it's to save the planet from disaster.

my theory for why it's slower for us is that sonic's information processing is crazy fast, so he sees shit in slow mo, at least when he boosts anyway i love how every boost sends him to a completely different part of the level

Good to know that we're playing Sonic games in slo-mo Bonus: Sonic has to process things his actions, AND what he'll do running like THIS. He may run at the speed of light but so does his reaction time, god DAMN.

The trick to pull that off in a video game to make it playable is instead of making Sonic faster (and breaking the game), it should be done like in the movie. Make the game go SLOWER while maintaining a playable speed for Sonic. Sorta like a bullet time. Since the player plays from Sonic's perspective, they should also perceive the world through Sonic's eyes. Add some cool dilation effects while he's running and it will feel fast as well.
