in the Classic Sonic stages of Sonic Forces, Sonic Team made a choice with their object placements that i can only refer to as the "booboo springs" basically, if you were about to ram into a wall at certain points in stages, they would place a spring in front of it to do a jump for you.

as for why, i can only assume this is was a design decision made to ease newer players into the concept of a jump, something not many games contain. Sonic Team understands their audience would have a lot of difficulty grasping the concept of platforming.
