What is SONIC SUPERSTARS?

A side-scrolling action platformer set on the Northstar Islands, where you play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Amy to stop Dr. Eggman and his allies from turning animals into Badniks. You run through stages, use each character's abilities, and collect Chaos Emeralds for powers that change how you move and attack. The campaign supports solo or local co-op play, while Battle Mode supports local or online competition.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy fast stages and classic Sonic-style movement
  • +you like exploring stages with different characters and powers
  • +you want to play the campaign with local friends

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer slower, deliberate platforming over high-speed stages
  • −you need online co-op for the campaign

What players say

69% of 3,237 reviews are positive · 64% of 42 in the last 30 days

Players praise the classic-style movement, colorful visuals, and stages. Their most common complaint is that bosses leave long waits between openings and bring sharp late-game difficulty spikes. Some also say the game is not worth its full price.
