Sonic Superstars feels fast. There’s an almost-tangible sense of kinetic energy and movement as you tear through different levels. This doesn’t just force you to pay attention, lest you tumble to an embarrassing death between the immaculately crafted levels, but also marks the game out as one to watch; a potential redemption arc for the recently maligned blue speedster.
So intense is this momentum that often it’s hard to keep track of where you’re at on the screen, as your character pinballs between different elements of a level with a ferocious intensity. One moment you’re rolling through a tight tunnel, the next you’re bouncing off of springs, rattling through different obstacles that will launch you between different elements of a level.
