Sonic Superstars: A Note of Freshness for a Platforming Legend!
Sonic Superstars brings the classic experience to a new era.
After the groundbreaking, for the series' standards, Sonic Frontiers released in 2022, SEGA brings back its mascot to the 2D "salons". Sonic Superstars is a blend of old and new, modernizing the classic gameplay that was loved by many generations of gamers.

New challenges in new places!
We have written and written... kilometers in the Green Hill Zone and for this reason, Sonic Superstars tries something new. Sonic's new adventure takes place in the Northstar Islands, located in an archipelago on Earth.
It is a series of new locations that players will visit, ready to... melt their shoes while running. Dense jungles, mountains, deserts, and various surprises await Sonic and his friends, as well as ancient secrets they will discover as they explore every corner of the islands.
Of course, they will not have the luxury to explore in peace, as Dr. Eggman returns and he is not alone. By his side is Fang, a mysterious thief who does everything to acquire valuable items such as the Chaos Emeralds. Fang has appeared in one way or another in previous games, but his assistant, Trip, is a brand new addition to the cast of villains. What are they planning and why are they all together in the Northstar Islands?

Say hello to Tails, Knuckles, and Amy!
While Dr. Eggman's team has grown, Sonic is not alone. Besides the "blue blur," Tails, Knuckles, and Amy are by his side, ready to fight for the good of the animals on the Northstar Islands and the protection of the Chaos Emeralds.
Choose the character you want and take advantage of their different abilities, playing the same level in a different way or trying to beat your previous high score. But beyond that - how great is it to play with Sonic's adorable trio of friends?

Classic gameplay, with the powers of the Chaos Emeralds!
The "magic" of Sonic has always been in the adrenaline, the speed, the freedom. The creators of Sonic Superstars have kept the old and beloved 2D gameplay structure, but the graphics are fully three-dimensional. Run like a whirlwind and feel the speed like in the 90s, admiring the beautiful scenery with all the detail of today.
The advancements in gameplay start with the unique abilities of each character and continue with the additional powers granted by the Chaos Emeralds. By collecting a Chaos Emerald on the track, the player gains completely new powers: they will be able to climb waterfalls, radically changing the way they approach a track, multiply, or change shape. Each track has multiple paths to completion, so the new powers offer even greater freedom.

Run with your friends!
For the first time in the series' history, you can play with up to three friends the entire story and all the tracks, from start to finish! Each player controls a character from the quartet, with their unique abilities, reaching the finish line together and helping each other against simple enemies or bosses.
In addition to cooperation, of course, there is the Battle Mode where players compete against each other in speed races, survival challenges, or battles. This can be done both online, with up to 7 other players, and locally on the same console for up to 4 players in total. Bring your friends, and Sonic Superstars brings the rest!
Something else that was loved by the audience in the recent releases and returns in Sonic Superstars, is the customization of the character. Regardless of who you choose, you can "dress" them with skins in the story mode or build them piece by piece in the Battle Mode!
