Sonic Superstars (Video Game)	comment	Sonic Superstars is a 2D platformer in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by Arzest (Yoshi's New Island, Hey! Pikmin, Balan Wonderworld), marking the return to the franchise of the studio's founder, Sonic co-creator and designer Naoto Ohshima, after a 25-year absence. Sonic Team remains involved, assisting with design and other aspects of the game. Notably, longtime series composer Jun Senoue also returns as music director, with other musicians (including Sonic Mania composer Tee Lopes) collaborating with him on the game's soundtrack.The game's plot revolves around Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose heading to a new island called the North Star Islands, as they attempt to stop the nefarious Dr. Eggman from once again converting animals into Badniks and taking over the world, this time while even converting giant animals into Badniks. Along the way, they also cross paths with the returning Fang the Hunter, acting as a hired gun for Eggman, and his partner Trip the Sungazer (a newly-designed character by Ohshima himself).Unlike the previous 2D Sonic game Sonic Mania, which took a nostalgic Retraux approach, Superstars aims for a more modern take on the 2D classic Sonic formula similar to Sonic the Hedgehog 4 while retaining the classic designs, bringing forth 3D graphics, new abilities in the form of Chaos Emerald Powers that allow you to traverse the zones in new ways like being able to scale up waterfalls to get up to higher routes or to summon an army of clones to charge at enemies, and perhaps most notably, the addition of local Co-Op Multiplayer, which allows four players to play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose at the same time similar to other modern 2D platformers such as the New Super Mario Bros. series, Rayman Origins, and Kirby's Return to Dream Land.An accompanying animated short featuring the antagonist trio of Fang, Trip, and Eggman named Sonic Superstars: Trio of Trouble was released on September 20, 2023. A twelve page prologue webcomic, Fang's Big Break, was released in in the lead-up to its release, written by Ian Flynn. Part 1 was released on September 25, 2023, part 2 was released on October 2, 2023, and part 3 was released on October 9, 2023.It was released on October 17, 2023 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X\|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.Not to be confused with the similarly named Sega Superstars series.Previews: Announcement Trailer IGN Japan gameplay of Speed Jungle Zone Opening Animation Multiplayer Trailer Pinball Carnival Zone Act 1 Music preview Speed Jungle Zone Music Mix preview Battle Mode Music Mix preview Launch Trailer

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_222caacc	comment	Balance, Power, Skill, Gimmick: Sonic is the Balance, the levels being built with him in mind, his moveset being the base for the others and his only gimmick being the Drop Dash; Knuckles is the Power, as he can destroy walls while running and he can climb walls to find secrets; Tails is the Skill, his (time limited) flying ability being a way to cheese levels and find secrets easier; and Amy is the Gimmick, as her Insta-Shield is easy to use even if by accident, her Hammer Rush gives her more control than Sonicâ€™s Drop Dash, and she can even double jump. Trip is a Power and Gimmick character, as she cumulates Amyâ€™s double jump with a spiky armor that allows her to climb walls like Knuckles (in addition to clinging on ceilings), the gameâ€™s level design changes to be harder in her unique story compaign, and her Super Mode changes the way you control her.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_22cf50f9	comment	Chekhov's Gag: Eggman in both the animated prologue short and opening cutscene of the game has a crudely-drawn picture of what looks to be a dragon, which he drew after finding a strange mural on the Northstar Islands. This drawing depicts the True Final Boss, the Black Dragon, which makes its appearance in the Last Story mode. The same scribble appears on a wall in Trip's story mode during the second act of Egg Fortress Zone and after the Black Dragon has been sealed away in the purple gem, where the drawing flutters to the ground while the heroes celebrate their victory.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The special stages have Sonic and co. using an electric rope to swing through Bottomless Pits, similar to the Enerbeam from the Sonic Boom games. In the post-boss cutscene for Speed Jungle Zone, Fang ends up caught on the rope-and-spikes trap from Sonic Mania Adventures. The promotional image for Amy's Modern Amy outfit has her using her pose from her Sonic Advance artwork. Fangâ€™s profile on the official website says that due to his status as a wanted criminal, he has been known by different names over time, a clear nod to his former localized name of Nack the Weasel, with him now using the title of "Fang the Hunter" in Superstars. This is discussed in the prologue comic, Fang's Big Break, where Eggman accidentally calls Fang by his old aliases (Nack the Weasel, Jet the Jerboa, and Fang the Sniper) before correctly remembering his current one. The name of the first two zones, Bridge Island and Speed Jungle, are extensions of the names of Bridge and Jungle Zones from Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit). The Buzz Bomber's new laser attack in the game is similar to their portrayal in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 theatrical film. Sonic's "waiting" animation, where he lies down with one foot kicked over the other and wags his finger, is a direct recreation of the one from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. In his Super form, Sonic does a recreation of his idle animation from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. In Egg Fortress Zone, the player can clearly see in the background a purple moon orbiting the Earth along with the regular moon. The Red Emerald's ability (Bullet) is awfully reminiscent of the Red Wisp's (Burst) abilities from the DS version of Sonic Colors, the 3DS versions of Sonic Generations and Sonic Lost World, and as a Wispon in Sonic Forces. They even have the similar qualities of both being fire-based, both revolving around dashing through the air semi-indefinitely, and both having a certain time limit to do so. The White Emerald's ability (Extra) giving Sonic the Homing Attack mirrors how the White Gem in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) gives Sonic's Homing Attack an upgrade to the Homing Smash. As confirmed in the game's art book, the snake from Sand Sanctuary and Trio of Trouble is visually based on a Sonic illustration◊ originally created for Harmony, SEGA's internal company magazine, and later featured in Sonic the Hedgehog The Screen Saver and the art galleries of various Sonic collections. The Eggmobile you ride in Frozen Base Act 2 changes based on your character, and all of them are modeled after an Eggman vehicle from the character's game of origin: Sonic gets the classic Sonic 1 Eggmobile, Knuckles pilots the more detailed Sonic 3 Eggmobile, Tails flies in the Sonic 2 Eggmobile (and also closely designed after Opa-Opa), and Amy's Eggmobile appears to be based on the boss from Dubious Depths, the scrapped level from CD. Trip, being the newcomer, instead rides a miniature version of Angel Island Zone Act 2's boss. Cyber Station Zone has tubes that turn you into data transmitted via radio antennae, a mechanic borrowed from Studiopolis Zone Act 1. The first half of Cyber Station's boss fight is a take on Stardust Speedway's boss fight, with Eggman firing a deadly laser from underneath his Eggmobile while The Prototype does the actual fighting. The parallel can be strengthened by the fact that The Prototype is based on the player's Battle Mode-exclusive avatar, so you can have them actually be Metal Sonic (or Metal Tails, Metal Knuckles, Metal Amy, or Mecha Sonic Mk. I). Frozen Base Zone Act 1 has ice sprayers that function exactly like the ones from Press Garden Zone Act 2, complete with being able to make your character look left or right. The "LEGO Fun Pack" DLC which features Minifig skins for Tails, Knuckles and Amy is a reference to the Fun Pack sets for LEGO Dimensions, where Sonic and friends appeared in the "Sonic Dimensions" Level Pack. They also use the same brick-built ball form Sonic had. Trip's spin jump animation is in the exact same vein as Vector's from Knuckles Chaotix, being a spiky donut shape. It also functions like the Spikes Wisp in Sonic Colors, by sticking to walls and ceilings and allowing her to roll along them.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_311500f5	comment	Breaking Old Trends: Black Dragon marks the first time where Dr. Eggman doesn't serve as the True Final Boss in the classic series, as well being the first supernatural entity chronologically that he actively seeks out. However, Eggman does not find or get to control it at all for the entirety of the game's plot, where it just appears completely out of left field and has no connection to him at all, acting on its own accord. Amy is playable for the first time in a new Classic-style Sonic platformer, and Trip is introduced as one of the few new female classic characters you can also play as. This is the first 2D Sonic game to not have Video-Game Lives, not counting the Classic Sonic stages in Sonic Forces or the anniversary mode in Sonic Origins.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: While everyone gets their own unique abilities, Amy's is the most basic, in that she is basically Sonic with a double jump and a larger spin attack hitbox. Although not as flashy as the others, this makes her really good at fighting bosses. This makes her an ideal choice to fight the Final Boss of the main campaign, where these abilities make it significantly easier to fight it.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_3a4898fb	comment	Power-Up: This game is a rare instance in the series where each individual Chaos Emerald is associated with an ability and each color provides different one. Avatar (Blue) sends a crowd of clones of your character running across the screen to deal damage to Badniks and bosses as well as picking up any rings in their path. Bullet (Red) turns the player into a fireball and allows the to perform an air dash in any direction as long as the gauge lasts, blasting through any enemies in the way and serving as a very useful Double Jump for everyone. Water (Cyan) turns the player into water, allowing them to explore underwater areas freely without risk of drowning as well as climb waterfalls and granting protection from crushing hazards. Ivy (Green) makes a tall vine grow next to the player, so that both they and any multiplayer partners can climb it and reach tall areas. Vision (Purple) indicates the presence of normally hidden and intangible objects around the player, which are then revealed and become tangible when the power is spent. Slow (Yellow) slows down all hazards on the screen, including bosses. Extra (White) enables a unique move for each character. Sonic gets the Homing Attack, Tails can shoot a tornado with his two-tails, Knuckles performs a punch that can shoot projectiles, Amy is allowed to toss hammers like she could while in Hyper mode in Sonic Origins, and Trip is capable of spitting fireballs.

Examples include using Water to climb waterfalls or Slow to get past hyper-fast crushers. Trip's campaign has much more incorporation of the Emerald Powers throughout the levels than the main campaign does, so getting all of the Emeralds before playing it is recommended.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_476d2edb	comment	Snakes Are Sinister: In the Trio of Trouble short, a giant snake tries to eat Fang and looks incredibly enraged by their presence. In the game, it's actually subverted, as this same snake serves as a level element in Sand Sanctuary Zone, and you actually see it at the end of the level; however, it doesn't serve as the level boss and simply leaves shortly afterward. The implication is that it went after Fang specifically because it's a guardian creature, and Eggman and co. were messing around in the ruins it was protecting.

Before Amy can crush him with her hammer, he lurches awake and bumps into Eggman and Trip, with the comedy back in full force as the doctor berates Fang.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_5561eef8	comment	Suspicious Video-Game Generosity: Golden Capital Zone Act 1 is a casino level that comes after the earliest point where the player possibly has collected all seven Chaos Emeralds, making it a breeze to gather hundreds of rings and demolish the stage with super form. Immediately afterward, Fang steals all of the Chaos Emeralds, turning Act 2 into a brutal No-Gear Level where the casino theme is downplayed in favor of the first act's secondary motif: a Lethal Lava Land. The "end" of the boss fight in Cyber Station features a suspiciously placed ring box in front of the animal capsule. The ring box is a subtle giveaway that you are not done with the boss, as when you jump on the animal capsule, a bunch of prototype robots fly out, which kickstarts the boss fight's second phase.

The segregation in this case is that the extra Emeralds do not get added to your count, and you still have to get them in the Special Stages to use the Emerald Powers. Also, even if you don't play Knuckles' optional act, he'll appear in the start of Act 2 with the extra Emeralds regardless.

It transforms her into a big (relatively speaking) golden dragon with unlimited free flight and the ability to breath fire. As neat as it is to blast through levels as a dragon, her bigger hitbox can make navigating some of the tighter corridors of levels difficult and certain levels such as Pinball Carnival Zone have kill planes that the player can accidentally fly into if they don't know where they are ahead of time. That said, she still has unlimited free flight. In a platformer. Needless to say, if the player knows what they're doing, they can completely bypass much of the level design if they're careful enough.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: In Fang's Big Break, the jerboa remembers his past encounters with Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, with him attributing his various defeats to "technical issues" (ie. the way his attacks backfired on him in said boss fights). One of the Golden Piggy Bank's attacks has it surrounded by orbs similar to Egg Bubble. In the final level, Eggman activates what looks like an artificial version of the Phantom Ruby's power to send time backwards and repair his Egg Diablo when Team Sonic nearly destroys it. This also ties into Sonic Forces, where he was able to complete the artificial Phantom Ruby and have it work multiple times.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: One of the transformation gimmicks in Cyber Station Zone has Sonic and his friends turn into voxel-styled squids and swim through the air in a way that looks very similar to the ghosts from Pac-Man. The fact that Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy's colors schemes match Inky, Clyde, Blinky, and Pinky respectively makes the reference clearer. The Avatar ability (which allows Sonic and co to create multiple clones of themselves to attack their enemies) is somewhat identical to the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique from Naruto, with its attack pattern being similar to Ms. Chalice's third Super Art Move, Ghostly Barrage. The boss of Speed Jungle Zone's Act 2 is very clearly an homage to the Omnidroid, down to the color scheme. Fittingly, as Mr. Incredible figured out in his first and final fights with the Omnidroid, the only thing that can harm the act 2 boss is itself â€” and it's even one of the claws that it hits itself with when Sonic directs it properly half the time (otherwise Sonic needs to hit its missiles back at it, which may also be a reference considering how the Omnidroid was finished off in The Incredibles by using one of its discarded claws as a missile). One section near the end of Golden Capital Zone Act 2 has the player ride a floating platform, using it to outrun flows of lava in a room full of treasure, much like the title character of Aladdin did with the Magic Carpet in the Cave of Wonders.

With that said, collecting all of the rings in one of the stages unlocks NiGHTS costume parts to buy.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_efd11fe3	comment	A Dog Named "Dog": The pre-Sonic Rabbit skin is only referred to in-game as "Rabbit". Justified, since it's only a character skin for Sonic rather than an actual character.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_f1e6402d	comment	Suddenly Speaking: Fang and Eggman talk to each other in the Fang's Big Break prologue comic, unlike the game and the animated short that conveys the story through actions with no dialogue.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_f7d66b6f	type	No-Gear Level
Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_f7d66b6f	comment	Golden Capital Zone Act 1 is a casino level that comes after the earliest point where the player possibly has collected all seven Chaos Emeralds, making it a breeze to gather hundreds of rings and demolish the stage with super form. Immediately afterward, Fang steals all of the Chaos Emeralds, turning Act 2 into a brutal No-Gear Level where the casino theme is downplayed in favor of the first act's secondary motif: a Lethal Lava Land.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_f8f30ffe	comment	Level in Reverse: Quite literally. Act 2 of Egg Fortress Zone has you go through the entire first act backwards while time itself is reversed.

Sonic Superstars (Video Game) / int_fe262584	comment	Cutscene Power to the Max: Characters in the background can use their silver Chaos Emerald powers before they are available to you. Trip uses her super form to fly into the background and instantly destroy the giant mech that Fang attempts to pilot against her and Sonic's group. This does reflect how powerful Super Trip's gameplay is, since she's actually allowed to fly, but you can't insta-kill bosses with her either.
