Here's a little interesting thing I want to show with all of you. In the hubs, Sonic walks pretty slow. (Ironically, the Werehog is faster than his regular self.) The idea is precision--Sonic needs to get in precise places to talk with precise people or to be in precise places. Do you see Sonic walking there? That's the fastest he can walk.

However, some hubs are so large that he may need to quickly get from place to place. The solution? Place rails, where Sonic doesn't have the speed limitation placed on him. A few other hubs have rails too, but only Spagonia's hub uses them for transport like this.

What I found was pretty interesting was that if you get on the rail during the middle of a Homing Attack into nothing, Sonic will keep going at the speed of the Homing Attack until he leaves the rail. You have to approach at just the right angle so you won't miss, but both ends of this rail are at just the right height for Sonic to do such a thing. (There's another rail in Spagonia that lets you do this, but it's a lot shorter and a lot less exciting.)

It's probably unintentional, since Sonic bounces up on the first trip and witnesses a clipping error: The young person reading the newspaper at the top of the stairs disappears and reappears.
