Review Sonic Superstars - A Fine, Authentic-Feeling Return That Runs Great On Switch
Speed up, superstar
If you’d have told us that two of gaming’s most iconic rivals, Mario and Sonic, would be going head-to-head with two brand-new platformers in the space of a week, we’d have said you were probably off your rocker. What’s more, if you’d have said that Sega’s latest entry, Sonic Superstars, would turn out to provide one...

Guide Sonic Superstars: How To Beat Dr. Eggman - All Robotnik Bosses Guide
The doctor will see you now
Welcome back to our Sonic Superstars guide. In this section, we're going to be covering how to defeat each and every Dr. Eggman boss in the game. To be clear, these are the bosses that generally show up in 'Act 2' of each zone (where applicable), so we won't be going over the Badnik bosses found in 'Act 1'. The Eggman...

Flume zoom
Welcome back to our Sonic Superstars Guide. It's time to grab another Chaos Emerald and this time we're going to be checking out Lagoon City, a delightful water-themed level that sees you speeding down flumes and diving underwater (don't forget to breathe in those air bubbles!). The Chaos Emerald is thankfully located very early on in...
Guide Sonic Superstars: How To Unlock Trip - Movement, Abilities, Super Trip
Sonic's new superstar
Welcome back to our Sonic Superstars guide. Here, we'll cover how to unlock Trip (or Trip the Sungazer, to use her full name) as a playable character.

Guide Sonic Superstars: Pinball Carnival Chaos Emerald Location
All on black
For this section of our Sonic Superstars guide, we'll dive into Pinball Carnival to locate our next Chaos Emerald. This one is a little bit tricky to find thanks to the sheer scale of the zone in terms of its branching paths, but you shouldn't have too much trouble; generally speaking, once you know where you are going, you can quite...

Super Superstar
In this section of our Sonic Superstars Guide, we'll cover exactly how you can turn into Super Sonic (or Super Tails/Knuckles/Amy... you get it).

Guide Sonic Superstars: Sand Sanctuary Chaos Emerald Location
Slooooow down
In this section of our Sonic Superstars Guide, we'll grab our next Chaos Emerald via the dry, sunny landscape of Sand Sanctuary. You'll need the Ivy Emerald Power for this one, as it's otherwise hidden in a rather tricky location. So let's dive right in. Sonic Superstars - Sand Sanctuary Act 1: Chaos
Guide Sonic Superstars: Cyber Station Chaos Emerald Location
So extra
In this section of our Sonic Superstars guide, we're jumping headfirst into the glorious Cyber Station zone to locate our seventh and final Chaos Emerald. This one isn't too difficult to find, as you'll likely come across it by simply progressing through the zone, but when you do spot it, you'll need to use the Bullet Emerald Power to...
Guide Sonic Superstars: Sky Temple Chaos Emerald Location
Lucy in the Sky with Emeralds
Welcome back to our Sonic Superstars Guide. We're continuing our search for the game's Chaos Emeralds and our third is located in the Sky Temple, a Zone that only contains one Act. So if you need a bit of help locating this one, keep on reading. We'll also cover the Emerald Power that you'll gain as a result. Sonic...
Guide Sonic Superstars: Bridge Island Chaos Emerald Location
A gentle start
Chaos Emeralds really are the bread and butter of 2D Sonic games. Collecting them all is more or less your main objective outside of simply beating each zone. There are usually seven to collect in total, and that's exactly how many are hidden in Sonic Superstars. Fret not though, dear reader, because we'll be running through exactly...

I pre-ordered the game and cannot wait until it comes out
Great game but Sonic platforming still sucks sometimes, along with his character physics. Way better platformers out there nowadays. I still hate losing rings not knowing what's coming ahead.
