Cow: There's a difference between intentionally handicapping yourself by avoiding a feature and just lazily ignoring the gameplay systems that form the foundation of the game.
I'm not saying "No you need to play Sonic without getting rings" or something ridiculous. I'm just saying you're bad at the game and missing the point. It's like playing Street Fighter and not knowing how to do special moves.

I played through sonic similarly to that video, but the first time through I really sort of walked through the first couple of levels becuase it was so different. So no, I wouldn't say I was bad at the game.
Still, not my bag.
The first time through? I explored every nook and cranny I could. But since then I've played through 1 and 2 each about 15 times...mostly because I didn't have an NES to play anymore at the time.
Perhaps I'm just bitter at losing an NES with a 50 game library and getting a genesis with 5 games. Shining Force being my fav of those 5 games. (Sonic 1, 2, Ecco, Shining Force, Golden Axe)
You can't hit that by running into the side of the spikes, and you can see it coming. Just jump over it, stupid.
I'm pretty sure I jumped that the first time I played. It's not hard. Do you expect a fully clear path with no obstacles?
My worst moment of gaming ever was suffering through the entire shitpile that was Ikari Warriors 2 and then realizing the game had a glitch and a couldn't even finish it.
I almost punched myself.
