These include things like a foggy jungle, a forest full of natural rail grinding, bungee jumping vines, and much more. That means new-level themes, new setpieces, and a lot of new eye candy while you roll around at the speed of sound. Sonic Superstars harkens back to the series’ 2D origins, but there is nothing but all-new zones here. You and your squad can pick from the four selectable characters and work together to collect the Chaos Emeralds and save the innocent animals from the mechanical clutches of Eggman. Four-player simultaneous co-opįor the first time in the series, four players can venture through the world of Sonic at the same time. These characters alone are reason enough to revisit the game more than once, but they aren’t the only thing that will keep you playing.

Sonic has the speed, Tails has his high flying, Knuckles can glide horizontal distances and climb up structures, and Amy has her hammer, which can break walls and allows her to double jump with the widest damage radius of each character. In the retro Sonic spirit, each of these characters has their own abilities that make them perfect for different playstyles and types of playthroughs. This time around, there are four heroes to choose from, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles ‘Tails’ Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and sporting her original Sonic CD outfit, Amy Rose. Like most classic Sonic titles, Sonic Superstars features more than just the headlining hedgehog as a playable character.
