Press release:
In celebration of Sonic Superstars’ cross-platform release, SEGA is rolling out an all-new series of “Speed Strats” videos for the new 2D, high-speed action platforming adventure, providing players with tips and tricks to get the most out of their adventure on the Northstar Islands.
In the first episode of Sonic Superstars Speed Strats, Sonic fans will learn more about the game’s single player experience and playable characters:
Core Four – Players can step into the role of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles or Amy to experience the single player campaign a little bit differently every time. With each character harnessing unique abilities, such as Sonic’s Drop Dash and Tails’ power to fly, Knuckles’ super strength, and Amy Rose’s Double Jump move, fans can experience new aspects of each of the game’s Zones depending on who they choose.
Plus One More! – After completing Sonic Superstars’ Story Mode, a fifth character, Trip, is unlocked in her very own single player campaign called Trip’s Story – packed with even tougher enemies and obstacles!
Other Experiences to Enjoy – Single-players can test their skills in Time Attack Mode to get the fastest time possible in different Zones, Battle Mode to challenge friends and players around the world in a variety of mini-games, or in special Character Act stages which are designed uniquely for each of the four main heroes and their abilities.
Sonic Superstars is now available both digitally and physically starting at $59.99 USD on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch™ family of systems, as well as digitally on PC.
