There is one Amiga platformer that had a close recreation of Sonic 1's physics, though it dropped the ball in the character & level design department.

That's true, but out of all the Sonic clones, Kid Chaos came the closest to replicating Sonic's gameplay. I'll take that over a mascot platformer that has all of Sonic's 'tude but no understanding of why the games are fun besides "go fast".

The only Amiga platformers that impressed me personally were Kid Chaos and Morph.

PCs are better compared to Amigas, STs and Macs. Of course it's going to beat the world's cheapest color computer of 1982.

Sonic-like speed in a platformer that wasn't designed with high speed in mind, so going fast feels dangerous instead of useful. Even more hateable if it's a sequel to a platformer that didn't have it, like James Pond 3.

Pic related for the Amiga is the only 90s Sonic clone to understand how Sonic worked beyond "he goes fast".
