I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot, but, AJ, what program is that in which you are showing us? It looks kinda cartoonish, but I like it that way.
EDIT: Cy-Chan, if you look at the sequence of the pictures, the spikes do have a collision with Sonic. In picture 2, Sonic lands on the spikes and in picture 3, Sonic is forced back and he looses the rings he had because of the damage he took from the spikes.
EDIT2: Also, you see that before he landed on the spikes he had 12 rings, but after collision he only had 7 (I like that because I don't like loosing all my rings and having to fetch them all, but it doesn't follow what all the previous Sonic games have done, which makes you loose all your rings. At least, I think they make you loose all your rings. @_@).
