Because High Seas Havoc exists.

High Seas Havoc is basically Sonic as a Pirate.

Because it's some gay fucking character that's literally just a star in ugly hue-shifting land, USA swinging around and trying to rip off Sparkster for the SNES as much as possible.

In japanese (as in, in multiple japanese pop songs and commentary on sports and stuff where they unironically say "rising star") it's "Ra-i-zi-n-gu su-ta-a"

so it's not rising star, you made that up. It's Reestar and it sounds stupid because japanese people often make terrible names for things.

It's a fuckin' beautiful game but not particularly fun to play. Stuff like how there's a delay on his jump or how his arms are supposed to be stretchy but suddenly you grab something and they're stiffer than Bionic Commando

It gets boring after a while. I remember getting to the piano stage and stopping because you had to have great memory and that's when the game got tedious

リri (ree)
スsu (soo)
タta (tah)
ーa (ah)

The horizontal bar at the end signifies that the preceding vowel is long. In transliterated terms, a+a is usually an approximation of -er or -ar, as in gamer or star.

So it's just a transliteration of Ristar. Say it quickly without stressing any vowel except the last, and it all comes together. Japanese has to render transliterations this way because it's simply a limitation of the writing system. Every character is supposed to represent an entire syllable.

Only it isn't because high seas was a cancelled arcade game that's actually challenging and skill based unlike sonic.

Replace sonic with a stick figure that turns into a pinball and Sonic Mania would still be fun. 3D sonic suffers from everything that is wrong modern gaming: constant autopilot segments that take control away from the player, a focus on style over substance, hallway levels with zero freedom, speed that isn't earned, a low skill ceiling, etc... 3D sonic doesn't have to suck (Utopia proved that), but it has so far.
