Sonic Superstars aims to bring back the fun of the 2D Sonic The Hedgehog games while also putting some new twists on the gameplay. For example, you can play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles or Amy Rose, and they each can take on the all-new stages and get powerups from the Chaos Emeralds! But another twist is that these Emeralds will grant the characters unique powers based on the ones you get. GameInformer broke it all down, and we’ll do the same for you!
- Blue Emerald: Â “Create clones of your character and send them speeding across the screen to defeat enemies.”
- Cyan Emerald: “Characters can more easily traverse underwater areas and even climb up waterfalls.”
- Green Emerald: “Grow vines from where your character stands to help you reach new areas!”
- Purple Emerald: “Reveals certain objects like hidden platforms and rings.”
- Yellow Emerald: ‘Slows down everything on screen.”
- Red Emerald: “Blast your character in a specified direction.”
- White Emerald: This one actually will be tailored to each character! – Sonic: Homing Attack – Amy: Hammer Throw – Knuckles: Punch – Tails: Tornado Spin
- All Emeralds: “Each character turns invincible and becomes faster, with rings depleting over time.”
You’ll also have the option when you have all the emeralds to pick a specific power instead of the unified power. Each of these abilities will have some “nuance” to them, so use them wisely as you play Sonic Superstars!
