Great return for all of the characters in the game (unlike a certain DLC that came out the same year). The level design is quite unique for the series as it's more spacious and exploration heavy. I am so happy this game exists, as it feels like we're back in the 2000s where we'd have a mainline Sonic game developed by Sonic Team, and we'd also get smaller games on the DS or Gameboy Advance. This is like one of those smaller games.
