    Still not very consistent, then. Players are given Super Sprint for getting dinged by the pendulums in "Hit Parade", so where's the punishment there?

    They can only use that to get back to the spin area but i see your point.

    Will put you on ignore if you can't form a logical argument but argue nonetheless

    The punishment is you get sent back? It's not a hard concept lol. Sprinting on the way back is basically the same as getting knocked off and then respawning back. The punishment is you get sent back to the beginning of the obstacle. The crystal minigame isn't a straight forward race like the 2 first round events.

    I'm saying that your argument of "getting hit on the crystal stage not giving you sprint is intended because it's supposed to be a punishment" doesn't make sense because Hit Parade does give you sprint for failing a mechanic.

    Yes, because those maps work differently to the crystal minigame map? Not sure what you are missing here. The first 2 maps are a straight path from start to finish. Crystal minigame is completely 3 different shorter paths going back to the center to pick up your next crystal. That is why the punishment is "inconsistent"

    How does any of this explain why it apparently makes perfect sense for one stage to give a boost to the people who are doing well and for another stage to give a boost to the people who aren't?

    Not sure what you are missing here.

    These two rounds also aren't that drastically different; crystals is ultimately just 3 smaller "races" in a single stage.

    Because its the concept of how the race works. Lets take your Hit parade example. When you complete hit parade, you are immediately in place for the next obstacle being the purple goo with snowballs. Now take the crystals. Once you complete a path, you have to run all the way back to the middle to grab your next orb for your path, just like you would if you failed since you need to go re-grab your orb.

    Essentially the sprint in the crystal course is their way of getting you to the next objective as soon as possible.

    None of what you just said explains why it somehow makes sense for one stage to give a speed buff to the people who are doing well and for the other to give a speed buff to the people who aren't.

    At this point I'm just gonna conclude that you don't actually understand the point being made, because you've willfully ignored it for about 5 posts now, and I'm tired of the back-and-forth by now.
