    SEGA has surprise-announced a brand new 2D Sonic game at Summer Game Fest 2023, called Sonic Superstars!

    Featuring 3D models and environments and focusing entirely on Classic Sonic gameplay, Sonic Superstars will see Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy Rose go on a new adventure as they tackle Dr. Eggman in a scenario reminiscent of the 16-bit days… only this time, Eggman has help in the form of returning classic bad guy, Fang the Sniper!

    According to IGN, the game will take place in a new location called the North Star Islands, which look like it’s going to be home to a whole lot of new gimmicks such as vines that shoot Sonic upwards, trees that the blue blur can grind along and chutes that work in a similar way to those found in Stardust Speedway.

    Apparently the Chaos Emeralds are also back, and can be seen to unlock specific powers for Sonic and friends. We can see in one instance where the player makes clones of themselves, and another where the player travels up a waterfall using another Chaos Emerald power.

    Sonic Superstars will be coming to PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC later in Fall 2023.

    Weird that there is a pre order bonus leaked, they even revealed it, but you can't pre order yet and they didn't even announce a release date at the central, even though a placeholder one leaked too.

    A 2D Sonic game with fully-featured co-op is the exact kind of game me and my sister would have poured countless hours into as kids back on the PlayStation 2. Seeing something like this be realized nowadays makes me pretty excited. Honestly, I had no idea I even wanted a 2.5D, Kirby's Return to Dream Land/Donkey Kong Country Returns-esque Sonic game until I saw this, but now that I have, I really want to play this once it's been released. Hey, who says this isn't also the kind of game we can also play a lot of as adults on the PlayStation 4?

    The Air Dash is back apparently

    Question is, though, how does it work? Is it like in the modern games or does it function with any significant differences?

    Sonic The Hedgehog X hell yeah, all we need now is wall jumping (mighty, anyone?)

    Feel like an air dash may take away some of the knowledge-based skill classic level design tends to have, but since it's an emerald power maybe it'll be nerfed through a recharge time or so

    Maybe she's a red panda. IIRC they have tails similar to that.
