Once again Sonic fans make a better Sonic game than Sega has in quite some time. The art direction and visual style are perfect. I especially love the Kirby sound effect samples. No Sonic game has looked this good before. That being said, sometimes the visuals can be overwhelming. There are a decent amount of creative ideas in this game. You will ride a rollercoaster in a volcanic area, fly with a plant propeller, or fight a train. The level design is easily the weakest aspect of this game. It is very simplistic with little to no enemies. A lot of the time you will just hold right. The super peel out from Sonic CD is back, which is nice. I typically use it more than the spin dash since it is faster, and I don’t need the defense from the spin dash. I love how Sonic’s legs get all squiggly when he charges up the super peel out. The music as with most Sonic games is top notch.
