If you grew up with the old-school Sonic games, Sonic Superstars feels like running straight into a time machine - with a few awesome new upgrades tucked in your pocket. It throws you right into that familiar 2D side-scrolling, high-speed chaos you expect, but adds just enough new twists to make everything feel fresh again. You still get that pure rush of sprinting through crazy loops, flying off springs, and scrambling to collect Rings before they scatter everywhere. But now, you're not just Sonic - you can also jump in as Tails, Knuckles, or Amy, each with their own moves and quirks. Plus, there's a whole new system where you can unlock Emerald powers that let you move, attack, and explore in ways classic Sonic games never even touched. It's the perfect mix of old and new: familiar enough to feel cozy, but different enough to get you genuinely excited for every new level. At first, everything feels super nostalgic - the bright colors, the bouncy music, the satisfying ping every time you grab a Ring. But then the new stuff kicks in, and suddenly you're pulling off crazy mid-air dashes, using special powers to blast through walls, and finding secret paths you never would've spotted before. Each character adds something a little different too: Tails lets you fly over obstacles, Knuckles can climb walls, Amy brings a hammer swing that actually changes how you approach fights. Switching it up keeps the gameplay from ever feeling repetitive, and the stages themselves feel built to reward exploration instead of just speed-running straight to the end. You're still racing against time, sure - but there's more to do along the way, more ways to approach a challenge, and way more little surprises tucked into every corner. What makes Sonic Superstars such a blast is how it nails that feeling of pure momentum without losing the fun of discovery. You can speed through if you want, but the game kind of encourages you to slow down sometimes, look around, find hidden stuff, and mess with your new powers. The visuals are sharp and colorful without ever getting too busy, the controls feel tight and responsive, and every character swap keeps things feeling fresh even across long play sessions. Whether you're a hardcore Sonic fan or just someone looking for a fast, joyful platformer to sink into, Sonic Superstars absolutely delivers. It's the kind of game where you sit down for a quick session and end up blasting through five zones without even noticing - and honestly, that's exactly the kind of energy a Sonic game should have.
