Unfortunately for myself as along-time Sonic fan, this is yet another 2D game trying to capture the essence of the original while not undersatanding what makes them fun in the first place. Feels weird to call it "Superstars" with only 4 playable characters and a brand new original one. The levels and boss fights are way too long and boring, with the firsthaving uninspired design plagued with annoying obstacles and the latter taking forever because they rely on you answering certain attacks whenever they cycle through them instead of actually looking for an openind while avoiding said attacks. Overall, great potential to improve upon in the future via DLC or sequels, but not one of the series' greatest.
