how did 'sonic, but what if he was really, really, really slow and and his spindash controls like a tank charging headlong into the front lines' leave the cutting room floor.

i don't care what anyone says about 'dark age' this, 'meta age' that, this era was truly the worst time to be a sonic fan. don't like this? oh, how about some sonic 3d blast? maybe some sonic drift? how about this 400 dollar console with no sonic games? you like that? huh? no? well tough shit, kid, 1998 is miles away.
