Yes...
I'm angry...
Who said this had anything to do with physics? Right, a hedgehog named sonic is possible to run at very high speeds... or a plumber is able to pop out a fireball or wear a racoon suit and suddenly be able to fly. It's a game... stop being over-critical.
I played for an hour or so, it is pretty tough after a while, but still fun. I respect anything that took this much time put into it. Thanks for the submit.
