Oh Sonic... here we go again...

Float wisp is pretty bullshit, not only it controls really awkward, but its tip (or nose whatever) needs to be on the trail of rings in order to do the light-dash. So a lot of the times you'll just spam B and it'll insist on not doing the light-dash :I

Also it's not hard to make a cutscene be funny or cartoon-ish without being extremely cheesy, you just need to not try.
