Reviews:
Push Square 6/10
"We can absolutely recommend this as a solo experience, as there's a lot to like about the fresh art style, largely great soundtrack, and multi-layered level design. Throw in a friend or two, though, and it quickly gets messy."
IGN 7/10
"Sonic Superstars has a mix of both interesting and ill-advised new ideas, making it an enjoyable Sonic game but not exactly a Super one."
VG247 3/5
"In its core mission, Sonic Superstars is successful. It recreates the foundation of 2D Sonic – some of the finest platformers ever made – well. Unfortunately, the new elements layered atop that are rather hit-or-miss."
Gaming Trend 9/10
"Sonic Superstars represents some of the best 2D platforming has to offer. It has constant surprises while still offering a ton of room for mastery. The game is a delight from start to finish and beyond."
God is a Geek 6.5/10
"Sonic Superstars simply has too many frustrating elements to deal with. Rolling through the actual stages is often a lot of fun, but having to deal with tedious boss fights and constant mini games gets old fast. If you’ve got a friend who loves Sonic you’ll probably have a decent time playing through the main story together"

Sonic Superstars producer Takashi Iizuka über die Unterschiede zu Mario:
“I did not think that Mario and Sonic would be releasing in the same week (laughs) – I was very surprised! Mario and Sonic are both representatives of side-scrolling platformers, but they are enjoyable in different ways. Mario games are ‘Mario-like’, and Sonic games are ‘Sonic-like’. It is because people have been continuing to accept and enjoy that ‘Sonic-like’ gameplay that we have been able to continue for thirty years now. Those people who buy both games can see the differences in style in those games for themselves. We have confidence in the ‘Sonic-like’ 2D action typical of these games.”
