Describe the Bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

On Windmill Isle Act 3, a little bit after the start of the stage, the 3 rainbow rings will cause sonic to lose all momentum and just go straight down after the 2nd one. It does not happen at the recommended 60fps, only at higher framerates.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

  1. Enable 120fps
  2. Go to 'Windmill Isle Act 3'
  3. Go to the 3 rainbow rings like in the youtube link i provided.
Expected Behavior

2nd Rainbow ring stopping your momentum.

Footage

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Windmill Isle Act 3 with 120fps, then compare it with the recommended 60fps behavior and the linked footage. Trace the code handling the three rainbow rings and Sonic's momentum, and consider the issue done when the second ring no longer sends Sonic straight down at higher framerates while the original behavior remains intact.
