I now remember, how much I hated the Flying Fortress Act 2 (or how was it) in Sonic Mania, because of this time limit. You cannot finish this level faster than in 5 mins, but if you choose to observe the level, you might not finish it (also cuz of the boss, that takes quite a lot of time) in time.

[@Diamondboi1710]

Time Over, also known as Time Up or Time Out, is a subject that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It refers to the gameplay mechanic in which the player has exceeded the available in-game time limit to complete a task. If this happens, they will receive a punishment, which, in most cases, and rather infamously, involves losing a life. In most games after the 16-bit era, Time Over has become an option that can be deactivated or is otherwise completely removed

[@tabletgenesis3439]

Sonic is known for being super fast, and has 10 minutes to complete a level. Mario is just a human plumber, and has like 4 or 5 minutes.
