Well Mekazoo ISN’T Sonic The Hedgehog while it may have some similarities it’s doing it’s own thing, only the armadillo rolls like Sonic all the other animals control completely differently. It doesn’t need to control like Sonic because it isn’t Sonic, there’s multiple different animals and the control scheme has to fit those animals, floaty controls doesn’t automatically mean “bad.”

You just got to get used to them and understand how the mechanics work just like any game!
