Why?....

First off this is not about which
Sonic games are better.
And no "New Sonic games suck ***!" flaming.

-------------------
Note:
I had Super Nintendo instead of a Genesis as a kid, so I didn't play much Sonic until I got older.
In fact I played Sonic 3 for the first time last year.
------------------

It is my opinion that saying that the original Sonic games are faster is false.

I played some Sonic 2 and 3 recently.
The levels are very far from being a racetrack.
If u want to beat the game u have to take each step carefully.
Booby traps are everywhere.
Its like being in a temple from an Indiana Jones...

Sally Acorn was going up against Cream The Rabbit, in her 1956 Bel Air.

Sonic: I haven't seen Sal's Roadrunner in a long time.
Tails: I wish she didn't have to go against Cream. It's not easy to choose upon vrienden when it comes to challenges.
Sonic: Yeah, both our girlfriends, going head to head. At least one of them will win when this is over.

The light turned green, and both cars took off. Sally had better acceleration, but Cream won with her Chevy.

Cream: Yay!
Tails: Alright!
Sonic: Your clever ingenuity has worked again buddy.
Rotor: I could have sworn I'd do better than Tails.
Sally: Better luck...

Two trucks stopped at an Audi dealership. Eggman, and five Nazis stepped out. They all had MP40's.

Eggman: *Gets into the R8, and drives away*
Squirrel: Someone call the-
Nazi: *Shoots him*
Squirrel: *Falls onto the ground* -cops.

Eggman stal the Audi, successfully.

Eggman: *Admiring his stolen car on a golden carlift* It's incredible. With the upgrades I make, I will defeat Sonic in his convertible!...
