Is it Possible to Beat Sonic R With Only a DDR Pad?

[@TheMGMfan]

I actually tried playing Sonic 2 with the DK bongos to see how far I could go, and in doing so, realized that the left and right bongos were essentially face buttons, as opposed to being directions on the Control stick or D-pad like I thought they were, so you can't even move in any direction, only jump.

[@Mewtwo557]

You have literally pissed off the entire sonic fanbase just by saying coins instead of rings.

[@davistoa]

Except he's talking about the Sonic Coins (or Tokens, if you prefer) hidden around the stage, not the rings scattered everywhere. Edit: Nevermind. He does indeed call the rings "coins" at one point. Carry on, then.

"Sonic R has poor controls" *How Nathaniel Bandy triggers you*

[@LepidopteranLiliumoth]

I was cringing from his lack of pushing the B Button before I realized it was probably easier to hold forward on the DDR pad anyway.

Reminds me of an idea I had as a child Sonic Rcade An arcade version where you’d run instead of using a steering wheel, and the save cards would be the last character you played. I never knew how the running could work, until now.

[@skidmarx8905]

Set your controls up so that you're constantly accelerating and pressing the up arrow actually lets go of accelerate, that way its easier to turn and use other characters abilities. Then use binds so that pressing the back arrow and a directional button makes you drift so you can actually go around corners. Also, map the B button to a bind that brakes (both triggers) . Good enough for a sequel perhaps?

[@JeremieChallenger]

Clever thinking honestly.
