I am saying it can be done right just no now wants to do it right.
More ideas
Musings on a better 3D sonic
First off you need solid and detailed level design look to Mario and Zelda for good level design, yes Sonic dose more than run through loops and rings he explores various landscapes which means he needs to wall grab or be able to use speed+ wall to run up it using his spiky ball form. The spike ball is his most powerful attack when augmented by speed, he should also be able to punch and kick, armored foes need to be killed using spiked form or another advanced attack, I would like for non lethal armored foes for to act like walls IE he can jump on them or wall jump/kick off from them to gain air and hopefully speed to crush the foe in a spike ball form or a powerful kick, when the creature attacks you can be tossed from it or take damage depending on what the creature is. Full running and fast walking would be the difference in max analog and medium analog pressure.
For more gameplay additions use items that can mimic other characters (knuckles wall climbing knuckles and added punch attack, tail?s tails for gliding/flying for instance).
Now we have some basics covered how would hit points be handled well Mario has the right idea you have 3 hearts that heal with coins well sonic can have that upgrade a heart every few thousand rings up to 6 or so max.
A speed mode is needed to handle the more race track like bits of the game, the speed mode basically brings the camera out some and locks it behind sonic,(you can tweak this mode in options to palace the camera and lock unlock it.)
Now Boss fights are more tricky, first off for some you need a arena or large area, this is where a lock on or slow mo button can be helpful to line up an attack when you are speeding around the enemy find the targeted area and pounce it while its uncovered or weak.
Slow mo can be done right, if you have played JK2 not only does the world slow but you can become faster, IE in slow mo mode you do not slow down, instead you operate at a more controllable rate.
All that?s left is gameplay fine tuning and general character designs.
Story wise I?d go with anything that predates Adventure and offer Eggman/Robotic mdoes, both work for the character but I am more fonde of him being called Robotic.
