So this powerup makes you go faster...in a Sonic game? Doesn't that just make you more likely to accidentally run into an enemy or trap, making the game harder as a result? How is that a boost?

Post more stealth powerdowns.

Sonic CD is so much better than anything on the Saturn. I get it, people love their arcade ports and Japanese games, but they seriously dropped the ball with Sonic and first party games in general on that thing. Don't need to play the world's ugliest rail shooter when I can just play After Burner III or Starblade. Manx TT is also a joke compared to Road Rash on SEGA CD.

On-topic, Mini Mushroom comes to mind, but not retro

In the game Running Battle using the Run power up causes the player to miss several extra lives making the game much harder to complete

Doom 2 blursphere (partial invisibility) make non hitscan attacks kess predictable and therefore more likely to get hit

Manx TT was great but it was a shame we never got a port of Motor Raid which was derived from Manx TT and was a much much cooler game

This garbage, it ruined the game and made it feel like less of an epic journey.

The entire game is built around the idea that if you'll go too fast without knowing what's ahead, you'll lose rings.

Taking speed powerup lets you move even faster but only if you absolutely sure you'll need it (to save time or maybe set a new record). You're taking that risk.

The real powerdowns are Eggman monitors in Sonic 3.

You don't like video games. Leave.

Doom's invisibility sphere. It can be useful but most of the time is detrimental.

There has to be just one autistic guy that has to shit on the cape from SMW every chance he gets. I never heard anyone complain about it outside of this board.

This, might as well just warp to the end of the level.

Skill issue.

The boots in Sonic aren't detrimental. What bad players don't seem to understand about Sonic level design is that you have entire multi paths and tons of rewards locked being getting good with the speed and physics. The boots give you an advantage in reaching those paths and rewards.

This is one of the biggest reasons why SMW is a shitty game. I will never understand what people see in it, especially when SMB3 exists.

Do you seriously not find joy in timing a glide well and flying below a large pipe just to reemerge in the skies again? It's fun, dang it.

Road Rash has a better Saturn version though.

Getting a star powerup for your inventory in SMB3. There is never a good reason to ever use it as it only lasts 5 seconds entering a level when you could have at least gotten a mushroom or even frog suit for that extra hit.
