At first I wanted to include super speed like Sonic in my platformer, but considering the kind of game its going to be I think slowness might be preferred.
I think Sonic Boom has another cool thing that could make its slowness work!!
You know how you jump on the boostpads you can maintain your speed? That but make it more like CTR bluefire!
Being able to maintain your boost somehow would be super fun ESPECIALLY cuz usual slowness!
