Rule number 1 of Sonic Superstars: always blame Knuckles.

[@DSmith3279]

"Way to go, Knucklehead!"

[@roiitzkovich4545]

That's rule #1 of Sonic Frontiers too. I always blame Knuckles for mishandling gliding to specific targets because he's too heavy. Knux is blameable indeed.

If you listen really closely as he gets through the loop at 1:18, you can hear him jump as he reaches the end of it to get a tiny bit more speed. That's how you know a real Sonic fan recorded that footage.

[@JRobert_Oppenheimer]

@@dan-productions The game feels like it's just not meant for multiplayer. I get it, most sonic fans will defend everything sonic but this game wasn't in the best shape when I played it with friends. We encountered multiple game breaking bugs that really screwed us over and ruined the experience, for example one player hit a spring at the wrong moment and his momentum never slowed down (literally) causing him to get stuck in the upper corner of the map and the camera kept focusing on him making it so we had to restart the whole level. One of my friends got hit and teleported halfway across the map (the opposite direction that we were trying to go) and the camera focused on him. The final boss was terrible for a sonic game and the floor was bugging out and disappearing and reappearing the whole time even after restarts. It may have been just us but we didn't have a very good experience with the game and honestly felt like we were playing a beta test.
