Sonic Superstars is a vibrant and exhilarating return to classic 2D Sonic gameplay, developed by Arzest and Sonic Team and published by SEGA for Nintendo Switch. The first all-new classic-style Sonic platformer in years, Superstars brings Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose together in a brand-new adventure set in the Northstar Islands — a mysterious archipelago filled with giant creatures, ancient ruins, and the schemes of the returning Dr. Eggman and his new ally Fang the Hunter. With gorgeous 3D visuals that capture the spirit of the classic 2D games, the revolutionary Emerald Powers system, and 4-player local co-op, Sonic Superstars is a fresh and exciting celebration of everything that makes classic Sonic great.
Four Playable Characters
Sonic Superstars features four fully playable characters — each with their own unique abilities that offer distinct playstyles and open different paths through the game's stages:
Sonic — The fastest of the four, with his signature speed and the Drop Dash from Sonic Mania.
Tails — Can fly by spinning his twin tails, reaching high areas and floating over hazards.
Knuckles — Can glide and climb walls, accessing hidden areas and taking alternate routes through stages.
Amy Rose — Uses her Piko Piko Hammer to attack enemies and perform a unique double jump, offering a fresh and distinctive playstyle.
Emerald Powers — A Revolutionary New System
Sonic Superstars introduces the Emerald Powers system — collecting all seven Chaos Emeralds unlocks a unique special power for each one that can be activated during gameplay. These powers include Avatar (create clones of yourself), Bullet (fire yourself like a projectile), Vision (reveal hidden items), Ivy (grow vines to reach new areas), Slow (slow down time), and more — adding a creative new layer of exploration and combat to the classic Sonic formula.
4-Player Local Co-op
Sonic Superstars supports 4-player local co-op throughout the entire game — up to four players can race through the Northstar Islands together simultaneously, each controlling a different character. The co-op mode is chaotic, fun, and perfect for families and groups of Sonic fans who want to experience the adventure together.
Gorgeous New Visual Style
Sonic Superstars presents the classic 2D Sonic experience in stunning 3D visuals — beautifully rendered environments, expressive character animations, and spectacular boss designs that bring the Northstar Islands to life with extraordinary color and detail while preserving the side-scrolling gameplay of the classic era.
