How to enable D-pad movement
By schizokonoko
This guide will teach you step-by-step how to utilize Steam Input to allow movement via D-Pad, for Classic Sonic stages as well as any sidescrolling segments, without interfering with your ability to use the analog stick during 3D sections

Note that while I use the PS5 DualSense controller, the steps should be the same across all controllers.

It's so dumb they just decided players have to use the stick exclusively. Why disable the d-pad? I don't understand the logic. Ya sure you can remap the d-pad to acting like a stick, but it should just be an option or just enabled by default, randomly saw this guide and ya I can figure this out on my own easily enough, but it's not to see i'm not the only person annoyed by "We've disabled the d-pad and called a remaster"
Classic Sonic is playable with a stick, but never feels as good as with the ol' trusty d-pad.

@Shockforce sometimes that happens, iirc you fix it by deleting the config file

might be unrealatid but i think since this game came out SEGA has broken the old one with the controller no longer working on the old one
