9 Minutes of Sonic Superstars Gameplay | Summer Game Fest 2023

From the Sonic Team and developer Arzest comes a brand new 2D platforming Sonic game in Sonic Superstars.

Sonic Superstars brings Sonic back to his 2D roots with a 2.5D side scrolling platform game. The title lets players control one of four characters, Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Amy Rose. For Sonic Superstars, even sonic co-creator Naoto Ohshima has returned to design a brand new villain. Sonic Superstars releases to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC late 2023.

I love how bouncy the animation looks. Just the detail of Sonic’s quills bouncing up and down makes me in love with this art style.

[marvelgeek]

This looks incredible!!! It’s like they took classic Sonic stages from from Generations and Forces and threw them in a blender with the design of Sonic Mania.

[monique]

I've waited for a game like this in years. Classic style but in modern CGI design. Love it.

[Netherwolf]

This is the exact type of game I've wanted ever since Sonic Generations. I wanted an old school Sonic platformer with updated 3D graphics. Sonic 4 got close to my desired design but it didn't really handle the momentum system effectively. This.... looks so beautiful and polished! I can't wait!

[Kiyoshi_Seraphim]

A classic sonic game we didn’t ask for or wanted, but it’s a game we all needed

[sonicfanboy]

There's no way they're gonna use this music in the final product

[Ironbat]

This looks like the New Super Mario Bros. Version of Sonic. I'm digging it.

[willowboy_]

It’s almost the same as the classics, but with the 3D models and smooth animation makes this even better. I hope there are more features waiting for us when it gets released.

[KarimJovian]

This is the correct distance for Sonic. I think they referenced the Sonic Origins remaster. I hated when the camera pulled so far back and sonic was a 2d speck. This is how it was done back then and what made it great.

[jasonharris]

I hope the physical version has a manual like in the Genesis days, complete with a story, the names of the new Zones last but not least, the names of all the Badniks you'll be encountering along the way.

[CrimsonDragoon]

Only complaint is that it’s a bit too zoomed in for my liking, but other than that, it looks really good.

[urbanshadow]

This game looks absolutely solid. Well guess I am buying it

[killerklown]

Did i wake up in the 90's. After all these years it looks like sega hit the nail on the head and gave us a great sonic game that is beautiful and has the gameplay and physics to match. Outstanding Sega!

Looks like a lot of fun. A game we've needed for awhile!

[TekPlayzGames]

Idk why but the level design for that green stage gives me Plant Kingdom(Rush Adventure) vibes with some of it's level design aspect like the vine grind rails and some of the more automated segments. I like it.

[Zikar]

They still have a weird speed cap on Sonic's run speed, as soon as he comes out of ball form there is instand deceleration and he doesn't gain much speed going down hill either.
There are at least improvments when it comes to ramps and the like though.

[ShannonAlcorn]

Who thought 2.5D/3D side scrolling Sonic The Hedgehog could get any better. This looks great and still keeps the classic feel and style. Looking forward to playing this.

[davidl]

They finally found a usage for the Sonic 4 music

[brandongittens]

He gets into a battle stance like frontiers sonic does that’s a cool detail

[filipereis]

ive always liked sonic but never played a single sonic game, after seeing this announced i saw that sonic mania was on sale for 8$ on the eshop and bought it to try it, the music and gameplay is so good i love how despite being very fast paced you still have somany routes and things to explore, it was difficult at the beggining because i had no idea how to play but im on "metalic madness now" and my favorite stages are oil ocean and studiopolis!
