Funny thing is, I can only really handle 2D Sonic.

Same for me, more or less. I didn't mind Sonic on the Genesis, but I have zero interest in any of the newer games at all.

They went out of their way to create a character that was the opposite of Mario, and a "Mario killer" and to an extent they succeeded on Genesis... but everything that made him work in 2D was kind of a nightmare for 3D. Mario's comparatively slower pace and exploration focus in SMW translated really well to 3D. Having Sonic haul ass in all directions was a lot more of a challenge.

The funny thing is, it doesn't even really work on the Genesis. For as much as they hype up Sonic's speed and push the idea that you need to be constantly mindlessly running at all times, you actually do much better in the earlier games if you go slower. There's a lot of places on those maps where you're better off stopping and being more methodical rather than just trying to rush your way through everything.
