Why did Sonic Struggle with 3D?

"Sonic had a rough transition to 3D" is something you'll hear all the time. Sonic Frontiers got me thinking about how true that statement actually is. And the answer may lie in how 3D Sonic design compares to 2D Sonic design. Also I play Mario 64 for the first time, but don't worry about that.
