Re: are side scrollers being scrolled off to the side now/
Nope, marrio didn't have any footstep sounds unfortunately.
Footstep speed would be absolutely fine to show acceleration, after all altering the pitch or speed of footstep sounds has been used to delineate walking from running speed in audiogames as far back as Superliam, if not earlier.
The point that a tone scale might be useful is with jumping, since by varying the pitch and left/right position of the tone you could give an accurate representation of the arc of the player's jump height and lateral position, and thus give a complete information on the jumping physics so let them practice their control skills make situational judgements.
