Toad is the unsung hero who supports Mario’s world behind the scenes. Without them, the Mushroom Kingdom wouldn’t exist. By the way, in English, they’re called Toad, which means “frog”… Huh? (Apparently, it’s also the name of a mushroom, but wasn’t there something better?!)

This Scratch game features a special effect system that triggers when the player's speed exceeds "14". Looking at the code, the stage constantly monitors Sonic's (the player character) horizontal velocity, and when the absolute value crosses the 14 threshold, it enters "Super Dash Mode."
In this state, cool BGM starts playing and visual effects create afterimages trailing behind the player. The acceleration also increases, allowing faster movement than usual. The game even modifies the "hold-to-jump" mechanics, enabling higher jumps.
What's clever about the implementation is how it treats the moment speed crosses the threshold and the moment it returns as separate events, triggering different processes for each. This creates a "sense of speed" that's expressed both visually and audibly, masterfully crafting those "feels amazing!" moments for players. It's like the exhilarating rush you get from a Star power-up in the Mario series!
