Sonic Superstars successfully revives classic 2D Sonic gameplay with faithful physics, diverse zones, and engaging mechanics. Repetitive boss fights and the absence of online co-op slightly detract from an otherwise polished experience.

“Sonic Superstars nails the fundamentals of 2D Sonic design, but its new features don't add much to the retro formula.”
