Notes:
- The research applies to all four of the Sega Mega Drive games and Sonic CD.
- When Sonic is underwater he moves much more slowly, but otherwise his physics are largely the same. This is achieved mostly by halving the pertinent variables, but some, like gravity and initial jump velocity, are not exactly half.
Contents
Variables
Acceleration
Acceleration has a value half that of normal: 0.0234375.
Deceleration
Deceleration has a value half that of normal: 0.25.
Rolling deceleration remains unchanged.
Friction
Friction has a value half that of normal: 0.0234375.
Rolling friction has a value of 0.01171875.
Top Speed
Sonic's top running speed is 3, half that of normal.
Air Acceleration
Sonic's air acceleration behaves the same way, but has a value of 0.046875, half that of normal.
Gravity
Gravity is 0.0625, instead. This causes Sonic to fall much more slowly.
Jump Velocity
Inital jump velocity is equal to -3.5 (-3 for Knuckles), and release velocity is equal to -2.
Bubbles
When Sonic gets a bubble underwater, his X speed and Y speed are both set to 0.
Entry & Exit
When Sonic hits the water, his X speed is multiplied by 0.5 and his Y speed is multiplied by 0.25 (this occurs after gravity is added). Conversely, when Sonic leaps out of the water, his Y speed is doubled (after water gravity has been added), so that he begins moving faster now that water no longer impedes his movement (however, X speed is not affected when leaving the water).
Drowning
When Sonic drowns, his X speed and Y speed are both set to 0, and the water gravity remains normal.
Speed Shoes
When in possession of Speed Shoes, but also underwater, the underwater variables take over, effectively nullifying the Speed Shoes altogether. No calculations, such as multiplying by 0.5, take place.
Animation Speeds
Being submerged doesn't affect the speed of Sonic's animations at all. Animations whose speeds are proportional to variables which are otherwise affected, such as Sonic's velocity, will be attenuated by the same proportion automatically.
