Sonic the Hedgehog[a] is a Japanese video game series and media franchise created by Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohshima, and Hirokazu Yasuhara for Sega. The franchise follows Sonic, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog who battles the evil Doctor Eggman, a mad scientist. The main Sonic the Hedgehog games are platformers mostly developed by Sonic Team; other games, developed by various studios, include spin-offs in the racing, fighting, party and sports genres. The franchise also incorporates printed media, animations, feature films, and merchandise.
Naka, Ohshima, and Yasuhara developed the first Sonic game, released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis, to provide Sega with a mascot to compete with Nintendo's Mario. Its success helped Sega become one of the leading video game companies during the fourth generation of video game consoles in the early 1990s. Sega Technical Institute developed the next three Sonic games, plus the spin-off Sonic Spinball (1993). A number of Sonic games were also developed for Sega's 8-bit consoles, the Master System and Game Gear. After a hiatus during the unsuccessful Saturn era, the first major 3D Sonic game, Sonic Adventure, was released in 1998 for the Dreamcast. Sega exited the console market and shifted to third-party development in 2001, continuing the series on Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation systems.
While Sonic games often have unique game mechanics and stories, they feature recurring elements such as the ring-based health system, level locales, and fast-paced gameplay. Games typically feature Sonic setting out to stop Eggman's schemes for world domination, and the player navigates levels that include springs, slopes, bottomless pits, and vertical loops. Later games added a large cast of characters; some, such as Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Shadow the Hedgehog, have starred in spin-offs. The franchise has crossed over with other video game franchises in games such as Mario & Sonic, Sega All-Stars, and Super Smash Bros.
Sonic the Hedgehog is Sega's flagship franchise and one of the bestselling video game franchises, selling over 140 million units by 2016 and grossing over $5 billion as of 2014. Series sales and free-to-play mobile game downloads totaled 1.5 billion as of 2022. The Genesis Sonic games have been described as representative of the culture of the 1990s and listed among the greatest of all time. Although later games, notably the 2006 video game and Rise of Lyric, received poorer reviews, Sonic is influential in the video game industry and is frequently referenced in popular culture. The franchise is known for its fandom that produces unofficial media, such as fan art and fangames.

I'm waiting to get it when it goes on sale. Even as a massive Sonic fan, I just don't feel it's up to snuff for them to be comfortable charging $60 like that especially when Mario Wonder looks substantially better for the same price, and Spider-Man 2 is only $10 more. Sick of them charging so much for Classic Sonic stuff.

@rollingstart_90s 10 ай бұрын

My best guess as to why this game is priced relatively high, is the fact that Sega hired Arzest to do majority of the work here + Sega themselves ofcourse wants a cut. Then there is that little Lego collaboration, which means that there is a deal going on there. If this was all in house made by Sega and thats it, I bet you this game would be atleast slightly bit cheaper.

Fun Sonic game with excellent zones. Brilliant idea for a new mechanic involving the chaos emeralds. Unique special stages for getting said chaos emeralds. Great characters with great movesets, bosses that don’t go down in 10 seconds, really beautiful art style that pops out, simple but sweet story and lastly tons of cameos and hidden Easter eggs. This is the only Sonic game I like the interpretation for a 3D classic Sonic, yes that includes Generations. I don’t know what there is not to love about Sonic Superstars… Aside from it’s music, but to be fair, it gets the job done and compared to everything else, Sonic Superstars is still a great time all around.

Naw theres def more to complain about imo. The bosses are slow for instance. I mean, dont get me wrong i loved that there was genuine design behind them and i could use the emerald powers to speedrun through, but speedrun is a strong word for what it really is. The bosses werent satisfying to fight at all, instead getting annoying after about 20 secs. I prefered the OGs where a casual player would take longer to get through a boss because they dont want to play it risky, but more experienced players would zoom right past because they know what risks to take and when to take them. Now it feels sluggish with the bosses. The physics are a lil annoying too. It feels like when i turn with Sonic im tugging on a rope to pull him the other direction, playing him isnt as fun as the other games in the series especially with a nerfed spindash. Then, like you said the music which ive seen a lot of complaints for. The game overall just felt pretty okay to good. What i was expecting was exactly what i got but very slightly worse in my case. The online too felt pretty bare bones. The medals i wish could do more, and i wish there were actual skins for the characters you could buy with the medals (dont know why they didnt do that). The animated in game cutscenes also felt kinda stiff. The zones were pretty well designed tho i will say, just not as fun to play through cuz Sonic felt a lil nerfed. I also spent 75 bucks on the game, so i expected more and got less. The art style looks good in some cases, and then others looks really bland. Like comparing it to Generations it does not really feel like its got its own style at all, while 3&K to Mania there was a very clear difference in amount of details put into the art, as well as the animations. Idk, this game just felt fine and thats it. This one actually felt MORE nostalgia grabby than Mania because of how Mania used the OG games as a stepping stone for what 2D Sonic COULD be, while this game felt like it was trying to recreate the OG games feelings and sense of nostalgia. Overall, meh it aight.

SEGA really did a GBA speed shoes oopsie! I’m confused as to how they managed to do that. KZfaq has a way to speed up music, but it ends up chopping off the latter measures to accommodate the faster tempo. However, if you make a dedicated speed shoes track for Superstars as I have for the Sonic Advance Enhanced Trilogy, then the music issue is mitigated entirely! Looks like fans are gonna have a hay day recomposing the tracks!

I think my experience is similar to yours. I think this does more for me than Mania and the originality is a big part of that.

As for her colour scheme and Sticks, I'm also reminded of Marine the Racoon.

@baalfgames5318 9 ай бұрын

Trip is more of a dragon than purple-human-with-dog-nose is- tbh. Honestly, just, the protags in Freedom Planet ruin it for me because of how in-your-face it is that every character actually has a pretty cool design. ...EXCEPT the main characters, who are all just human-with-dog-noses and other random mutations. It's really distracting when every other character has a more defined animal face.

I'm left wondering how the boss fights did not present more of an issue to you. The final Super Sonic fight is purely RNG based on whether you'll get more rings to spawn in or not. The attacks the dragon does are of no consequence, you're just left waiting for the one attack that leaves an opening at the end. Not to mention needing to repeat the entire 10 minute fight if you fail due to failing the clunky QTE at the end. The final encounter with Fang as Trip is also hot garbage. A boss that has a 5 minute phase 1 with long animations where you just wait for an opening yet again SHOULD NOT have hard to dodge instant kill attacks in his phase 2! The final Trip fight and the final Super Sonic fight being back to back at the very end really left a horrible impression of the entire game when I put the controller down after finishing it, even if the core levels are pretty good. And also, what's up with needing to watch the 15 minute long credits 3 whole times?

I’m gonna be mentioning spoilers as well for my thoughts Still here? Okay. I haven’t been able to beat this game yet, the Egg Fortress robot has had me stuck, seriously I tried for like an hour over many, MANY tries to beat it and just haven’t been able to so that’s frustrating (plus on my first try, I didn’t realize I was supposed to go behind him and knock the blue missiles into the back of the mechs head which is also an issue I ran into with Sand Sanctuary’s Eggman boss where I didn’t find it obvious as to what I was supposed to do at some point so it became frustrating when I kept doing the same thing for a while but nothing was happening), but overall I’ve really enjoyed the game, I’d maybe say I’d give it either an 8/10 or an 8.5/10 which is a B+ and an A- respectively for me, I prefer it over Sonic 1 and CD which are both a B/ 7.5/10 for me, but I wouldn’t say I like it more than Sonic 2, Mania, and especially 3&K which are all 9.5/10’s/A+’s for me. Very enjoyable game, might not come back to it very often, especially when I’m no doubt gonna be addicted to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 soon and when it comes to Sonic games on the PS5, I’m gonna spend a lot more time on Frontiers since that’s one of my absolute favorites (though I wouldn’t be saying that if I got this game on the Switch which is what I was originally planning to do, but I got a PlayStation gift card for my birthday and my brother already preordered Spider-Man 2 before then so I just went “frick it” and got this on PS5 instead.

The guys behind the animated cutscenes were Telecom Animation Film who are owned by SEGA Sammy. They’re also the same animation studio behind Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic X!

I've played almost the entire game up to Egg Fortress Act 2 so far and have been enjoying it pretty well, but I feel like there could have been more done to warrant both certain changes and the price tag. I wish the game, as well as Classic Sonic games in general, had a ranking system like the 3D and Rush games, since it offers a greater insentive to get better at the game than just making your next playthrough faster and easier. I also think they should've added the red star rings as collectables, since the game only has seven emeralds and one golden enemy per stage. I don't count the tokens since those respawn. I really like going for collectables in Sonic games, which I think may be partly why I prefer Modern Sonic over Classic. I don't get why they're still using a Genesis soundfont for certain songs when Generations, Mania, and some tracks here nail the Classic feel with modern instrumentation. And while I like the 3D, I think they could've been more ambitious with the camera. I know it'd be difficult given the multiplayer aspect, but I really like how loose the camera was in the 2D sections of Unleashed and Generations, zooming in and out and often being angled to showcase a bit more of what's up ahead. The character animations are nice, but the cutscenes and bosses can sometimes like more sluggish or stiff than I'd like. The emerald powers are cool, albeit I would've liked a story explanation for why these happen, but I would've preferred if these could've been expansions to your moveset rather than optional abilities on a menu. Part of why I like Modern Sonic is the variety of moves he has and how the levels are like obstacle courses. I get Classic Sonic's playstyle is inherently simpler than Modern Sonic, but if this as complex as Classic Sonic can get, then I'll be dissapointed if Superstars means no more 2D in Modern Sonic games. There's a lot I enjoy about Superstars, and I'd honestly say it's my favorite Classic Sonic game, but there's certain aspects I find underwhelming when compared to 3D Sonic, non-Classic 2D Sonic, and even Classic Sonic's appearances in Generations and Forces.

34:33 Yep, I had to watch this and spoil that for myself. It's Phantom Ganon in Tears Of The Kingdom all over again. Oh, well. Got nobody to blame but myself, I guess. At least I managed to avoid having Trip's unarmored form or her dragon form spoiled for me prior to the game's release. Also, as long as I'm bringing up Tears Of The Kingdom, can we talk about how Superstars is the second game I've played this year where one of the main characters turns into a dragon? Crazy.

Curious to see what DLC for this game would look like (I believe this game is getting a DLC?). Obviously it's probably going to patch some glitches with the game, assuming patches don't come beforehand. Perhaps it'll make it so that the cosmetics are applicable to the main campaign? Maybe it'll even add some new skins (Classic Shadow pls). Maybe it'll also fix the bosses since those have been subject to criticism. I'm also curious to see if it would make Fang playable in the base game? That would be sick. I still need to get this game and will likely do so in a few months. Really looking forward to it.

As always a thoroughly entertaining and well written review! I'm actually quite surprised people are so high on this one though, although I'm of the opinion Mania is a superior game in almost every way so I think a lot of it comes down to personal preference. Given the advances in tech, and the price point, it just feels so strange to me that the team put these limits on what the game can be. WHY does the story have to be so non existent? Just because they were 30 years ago with such insane hardware limitations? (Hell if you don't follow the online hype or have seen the prequel short then the plot as it's presented in-game barely even makes sense) Is it really asking too much to have animated cut scenes that tell an actual story throughout at this point? Games on the Megadrive managed more! And I don't think I've seen anyone ding the game for repeating the exact same plot points of any old classic sonic game. When I saw we were building to yet another variation of Robotnik launching a space-base I couldn't believe it! It honestly doesn't feel that far removed from Mania in terms of 'remixing' old content. Most of the levels feel like one to ones with past ones (Sandopolis, Sky Chase, Death Egg, Oil Ocean, Sky Sanctuary, Carnival Night) - only really Golden Capital and Cyber Station felt genuinely new. Reused badniks, mash ups of gimmicks, none of it feels particularly fresh when compared to the jumps between Sonic 1 to 2 to 3. (Even Mania's classic zone Act 2s felt like they had more original ideas in terms of gameplay mechanics) As for that presentation though - the models here just kinda feel cheap and soulless to me? Why does Sonic look so gormless when standing? Where is that attitude? And the Robotnik model has zero personality or menace. It feels like it's been made by someone with about a days worth of experience with 3D software! The graphics in general looks super plasticy and the lighting does nothing to hide the cheapness. I dunno, feel like we should expect more from this? Anyway, sorry for the long rambly comment - consider this my review haha. It still feels like this is the bare minimum we should expect from a 'new' classic style Sonic game released on this gen console and at this price point. And if that's all people are expecting then surely the personnel need to change...
