Pros
- Graphics are so good they look better than most games of this gen.
- Turning is like the Adventure games.
- Sonic's jumping mechanics are close to the Adventure games.
- Mach Speed section controls FAR better than the original.
- Smaller objects in the Mach Speed sections won't damage Sonic.
- Glitch that makes you randomly skip the snowboard section. :)
- Sonic runs at the same speed as retail '06 which is not what the developers intended. (XBLA/TGS06 is 17, E3 is 20)
- Jumpdash doesn't provide enough distance.
- Homing attack range is too short and moves too slowly.
- Snowboard is a bit slippery; lack of control compared to the Adventure games. Braking is also unreliable at times, though it's better than the original.
- Snowboard jump "charge" takes too long.
- Lack of momentum for normal Sonic. Slopes don't affect his speed.
- Too much debris in the Mach Speed section.
- Cars in the snowboard section make you lose rings.
