  • Sonic Superstars stumbles a fair bit--but when it gets up to speed, it really shines.
    Sonic as a franchise is notoriously inconsistent, offering up some amazing highs, some truly dire lows, and a fair few games that are forgettably mediocre. But then there's that one weird category several Sonics fall into: games that are obviously, undeniably flawed in some way, but still have that something that makes a Sonic game feel special. Maybe not everyone can feel what makes them great, but for others, those qualities will overshine all of the negatives. Sonic Superstars is one such game, one with glaring flaws that I happen to like a lot.

      I’m a 90s baby but my 1st 2 systems ever were a SNES & a Genesis as hand me downs when I was 5 in 2000, so I ultimately hadda get both this and Super Mario Wonder as well.
      Happy Gaming!

    I love that Sonic’s OG form is a rabbit referencing his concept design!! Also love that Amy is becoming a core player in the franchise again. Ever since CD & her reintroduction in Adventure she’s been my favorite character and she’s been pretty flanderized for years. I feel like now with games like Frontiers she’s slowly coming closer to her Adventure role where she had a life outside of Sonic & despite her crush on him they would still be able to joke about it & hang out without it seeming weird and stalker-ish (like in Adventure 2 when she breaks him out of jail). And it seemed like she was more like a friend to Sonic instead of an annoyance/inconvenience. Super excited to see Sega prioritizing her again and to see what they’re gonna do with her!

    I love the game.. For ages I was upset that Sega lost the console wars. I rooted you with all my being as a child. This game simply states “I am still here! Alive and well and I’m on ALL consoles!” .. And me as I fan… I can only say.. what a smart and strategic move. I understand now and I’m proud of you Sega.
