![Meme that says the following:
STOP MAKING AUTOSCROLLERS
PLATFORMERS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO FORCE SPECIFIC PACES
YEARS OF SCROLLING yet NO ACTUAL BENEFIT FOUND for waiting to move through the LEVEL.

"Yes please force me to SPEED UP. Please force me to SLOW DOWN." - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

(These are REAL levels, made by REAL level designers.):
[Screenshots of Mario riding Yoshi in a dark cave, Sonic jumping on a collapsing bridge, and Mega Man in the sky on a bunch of platforms. It's hard to communicate in a still image but these are all autoscrolling levels, and they all are met with a bunch of question marks to show absolute confusion.]
