I wasn't expecting Sonic superstars to be "peak" and I didn't need it to be, what I needed it to be was a great game that can push the classic series into a new age, and it's done just that, this game is very much the Sonic equivalent of something like donkey Kong country returns or metroid Samus returns,a great game that needs some small things ironed out. The team at Arzest have proved to me that they have what it takes to continue the classic legacy and I am looking forward to seeing a sequel/successor to what is now one of my favourite Sonic games.

I agree with what you said. I've been with this franchise since 1992 and while sure, there are some aspects in Superstars that I didn't like, it's a VERY good game. I look at Superstars and Frontiers in a very similar way, that they are both games that clearly show that Sega has stepped their game up with Sonic and treat their flagship franchise with the respect and ambition that it deserves.

Yoshi's New Island is boring and Balan is bad, but Nintendo hadn't done better with Yoshi in decades and tbh I don't think Balan would have ended up well if they did get a better dev team for it with how many bad ideas it tries to execute.

The problem with the soundtrack that I think composers didn't understand is that the genesis sounded BAD. Back in the 90s, composers had to do their absolute best to make songs sound good in the bad soundfont of the genesis. Thus, by trying to imitate the genesis soundfont, they are making their songs bad _on purpose._ Most of this game's bad songs could be bangers if only they didn't try to sound retro

Good review! I loved the classic Sonic games on the Genesis and I played through Sonic Superstars recently, but the whole experience felt kind of "meh". $60 is just way too much of an asking price especially since Sonic Mania was a fraction of the cost and was just a much better game overall. This felt basically like Sonic 4 Episode III and lacked the polish of a classic established franchise. I am not sure why Sega chose Arzest as they've made some pretty mediocre titles in the past. I honestly wish Sega just brought back the Mania team for a second round. This game was honestly an underwhelming disappointment after all the hype. While Mario Wonder and Sonic Superstars both had a lot of gimmicks to a classic formula, the difference is that Wonder actually stuck the landing.

You know, watching this video made me realise something. Prior to the game's release, I was one of those guys who said that this game should have been more innovative, I wanted a game like Rush or Advance that expanded upon Sonic's core gameplay, but now I'm actually glad they didn't do that because Sonic team and Konami are still not fully ready to pull that off. I've come to respect the direction that Superstars is going for basically. And you know it's kinda sad that they're still struggling to make that people can consistently enjoy, but I feel after the many flaws of Superstars and Final Horizon update 3, I think they have a fairly clear line on what not do, but also what they can improve. I have a bit of faith that the next game will be pretty good, not just ok. But once again, we have to wait.

Superstars is not top tier. However its a really good game i think. I'd give it a 8.5/10. I love thats its NEW. That is exiciting. All new zones, Trip is a great new character. The physcics are actually correct. And the level design is top notch. I've played through it 6 times and am still finding new routes to take. All that is top tier. The things weighing it down are the goddamn bosses. Holy shit the fucking bosses. And i like them theyre fun. But the go on for minutes. ALL of them. The Golden Capital Fang fight and final boss battles are an absolute chore to defeat. Even the bosses and mini bosses from regular zones just go on for minutes. Trips story is also way too cheap. I know its the hard mode but basically it turns every level into Metropolis zone and you NEED all the chaos powers to progress. Which i wish i had known bc i had to go back into the main game to get them so i could progress in Trip's story. A pixel art style i think wouldve been better. The levels look nice. Golden Capital/Speed Jungle/Sky Temple/Cyber Station are highlights, but others look kinda boring like Lagoon City. All the gimmicks i think are new and fresh and when talking Top tier we're talking like 10/10's Sonic 2/3k/Mania shit. This game is not that. Underwhelming i would say no. Its a very good game Sonic Team got a lot right and again, the physics and level design are actually good which is the most important thing. Its a solid game that fits perfectly into the good tier of sonic games. So saing its not peak Sonic is correct but its not a bad thing. Peak is the top of the top for franchises. Not every game can be Peak Sonic. I wish it was but it's certainly in the firm A tier for me easily. This is a really fun and great game. Golden Capital being my favorite zone. And this game still felt like a Sonic game to me. Gimmicks largely were innovative and didnt overstay their welcome

I hate the bosses in this game A LOT. They are sluggish, boring and uninspiring. That's my major complaint for this game (although the level design for Press Factory, Frozen Base and Egg Fortress are also crap). And the Super Sonic fight is the most boring boss fight ever in a Sonic game. Super Sonic stages are supposed to be fast, epic, and make you feel powerful, but that fight is so freaking slow, boring and poorly designed that I'll probably never play it again in my life. This game is definitely a step in the right direction, but it's not even close to the classic games and Mania.

Personally, I think another fix for the bosses would be for them to be the exact same. However, they should just cut down the invincibility frames. I want to go to that final Fang fight for an example. During that fight, there is an attack where you need to bounce enemies back to hit the mech. Normally, you can only send 1 enemy back in time. However, at one point, I got 3 sent back using the avatar ability, but only 1 counted because he was invincible for so long. That was bullshit and dragged the fight out so much. If they let you hit the bosses more, even if it was maxed out at 2 hits before the invincibility kicked in, that would make them so much better, hell probably even the best bosses in any classic sonic game. They would be half as long with skill, but at the same time, you couldn't just bum rush them.

Apparently Tee lopes fixed some of Jun's music like the first Bridge Island act 1 so if he got his hand on the rest of the ost Jun had this would be boost the score for me, Music in Sonic games means everything to me, if they can fix that I would be very happy, Speed Jungle act one is still my favorite in the entire franchise so you know what Tee is doing

I like the game, But Trip's Final boss was hell. And if that weren't bad enough, If you quit out of the game During the boss fight, You have to go through the levels b all over again, especially on the 2nd act of Egg Fortress. I wish they would have Checkpoints where you could select the boss that you're fighting without having to go through the levels all over again.

Honestly, it's not bad but great either. What's holding it back is the inconsistency, especially the soundtrack. 50% is good, 50% is rather mid. Plus, very...weird...pacing. All-in-all, it's above average in my opinion. Though, it will never top Mania in terms of creativity, consistency, & music. That much I'll say.

I dont have many issues with the game, it all seems fine to me (i have played and beaten all the classic games so there isnt a massive bias here), the only boss that actually drags on is the fang fight in golden capital (havnt beaten trips story, so we will see if that opinion changes) the characters feel great to control, but sonic seems to accelerate slower than I remember which isnt even that big of an issue, while i do dispise press factory, its not terrible once you have the yellow emeralds time power. (I play on switch and have very few issues) the only thing thats wierd is the textures on some things like the giant press in press factory, the floor in bridge island when the eggman fights cutscene plays and it zooms in to the cast. Again, all these texture oddities are probably just the switch and its limits. Overall id say this is a solid 8/10 sonic game, not as good as mania was, but not as obnoxious as sonic CD’s attempt at exploration in whacky workbench. (I dont like sonic CD if u couldnt tell)

I give Superstars a 8/10. It's good but can be better. The ost has its ups and downs I agree, the game is not ugly but sometimes looks kinda off, the bosses take too long but an easy fix is making them take less hits, I love the level design tho, people are complaining about it but I like to think of it as a mix of Sonic 1 and CD (which I like more than Sonic 2 level design, pls don't kill me, it's just a personal preference), and the game is actually challenging considering most Sonic games are easy for a skilled player. I don't think they should get rid of the 2.5d style, I actually want Sega to bring the Mania team back for a sequel tbh

I liked the game, I will be playing as all the characters per save so I will be very familiar with the game for sure and to justify that $60 price tag! I didn't like the music in this one (with a couple of exceptions but not too memorable to me!) Trip is a great addition (even if her levels in trips story are really bullshitty) and the bosses are good! Level design I noticed in the base game can feel samey and hopefully they fix that in future games! Great but could be way better!

Is there no way original designers, like from S3&Ks cant come back and design something? Everything in these newer games looks so…I dont know, automated. Youre right though, why do these modern games have to be so tame that a 3 year old needs to giggle at it. Im a big believer that we should just use the S3&K sprites again. Why not. We only saw them that one time, or lets keep everything 2D again. Look how good and expressive those cutscenes are! Wouldnt clash as much without a 2.5D game.

matt idk wtf were you talking about when you made this video after playing this game i think its the best classic sonic game ever made i know allot of people would say that i know nothing about sonic and bs like that i played (a little bit of sonic 1 cause its annoying) fully played sonic mania sonic 2 and sonic 3 and this game is better than all of them im a person who doesnt enjoy classic sonic that much and i always get bored playing classic games (except for mania) and superstars is the only sonic game that made me care about classic sonic because its so much fun and im suprised that you said in this video that the levels are empty like bruh they are loaded with fun and the developers obviously put allot of love in this game and you can know it just by looking at the animations the visuals and the level design it has some flaws but they are small and i can overlook them and if you dont have the patience to fight a boss they literally added a skip button for bosses which is the shadow clone ability it can destroy any boss if its not obvious I LOVE THIS GAME AND ITS BETTER THAN SONIC 3 AND MANIA (if you disagree tell me why and be respectful because its just a video game who cares) + im really curious to know why people hate this game

You pretty much summed up my feelings on the game. A decent step forward, but DEFINITELY doesn't replace Mania and 3 and Knuckles as my favorite 2D Sonic games. I feel like Superstars had too many cooks in the kitchen. To me it's an improved version of Sonic 4.

I feel like this should have been the first classic sonic game to introduce a ranking system of some sorts. Seeing as how the score is meaningless since its not a continuous thought the adventure (like in 1-M) there isn't a point to trying to collect as many rings as you can ( this game just throws them at you) while also trying to find the quickest and smoothest way to the goal. If they were to add a ranking system at the end of each act then it would incentivize going out of you way to collect this game's many rings. As for multi player, it would be fun if on top of the ranking at the end of the stage they also calculated each players individual points/rings and idk give them a crown or something like mario 3d world. That would add a bit more of a competitive element to the co-op experience

Superstars really let me down. The main selling point was the multiplayer, but it turns out its offline only and the multiplayer isn't very good anyway :( Watched many streamers play and they all said single player is the best way to experience it. Then...what was the point of advertising this as a multiplayer game then?? It just feels uninspired and comes off like a cynical cash-grab. 60 dollar asking price is a joke. I'm skipping this one.

Sonic Superstars is mid in my opinion; it's not bad at ALL, but it is overhyped for sure. I had fun with this one, but I just didn't love it to death like Frontiers. Superstars doesn't even give me any satisfying moments like Frontiers did. And that's honestly sad to see.
