Sonic Superstars Reveals Character Renders & Profiles

June 23, 2023 Orpheus Joshua

The official website for the upcoming 2.5D platforming adventure, Sonic Superstars, has been updated with character renders and profiles.

Sonic Superstars is a brand-new 2D adventure featuring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, taking place on the North Star Islands. New gameplay features include the Emerald Powers when Chaos Emeralds are acquired, such as enabling the ability to create clones or climb waterfalls.

Further, the visuals have received a notable upgrade, and Fang the Sniper from older Sonic the Hedgehog comics and video games, such as Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble, will appear as an antagonist in Sonic Superstars.

Classic Sonic the Hedgehog designer Naoto Oshima has returned with a brand new villain. Fans can also anticipate “movements, physics, and controls feel familiar and appeal to recent and legacy fans alike.” Local four-player co-op will be available throughout the entire story, too.

We have compiled each character render and profile, viewable via our gallery below:

Tails – Miles “Tails” Prower is an energetic fox, a genius mechanic, and the pilot of Sonic’s plane, the “Tornado.” Once bullied for having an extra tail, he has since found strength in his uniqueness: by spinning his two tails together, he can propel himself forward and even fly short distances in the air! One of Sonic’s closest friends, Tails is the best sidekick anyone could ask for.

amy — Amy – Still learning to use her own surprising strength, Amy is a pink hedgehog who wields the huge “Piko Piko Hammer.” She has a strong sense of justice and will always follow her heart to protect the weak, even though that often means putting herself in danger.

sonic — Sonic – The fastest thing alive! Sonic the Hedgehog runs at mach speeds and is quick to engage those that threaten his friends, his freedom, or the natural world around him. He loves to relax when he’s not on an adventure but will jump at the chance to thwart any evil plot from Dr. Eggman.

eggman — Eggman – An evil genius with an IQ of 300, Dr. Eggman wants to expand his Eggman Empire through world domination. With armies of robots at his disposal, he is a constant threat and is always looking to bolster his power through stealing objects like the Chaos Emeralds. Perhaps this is what has drawn him to the Northstar Islands…

fangs — Fang – Fang is a springy jerboa that is light on his feet and is always looking for the next big score. A bounty hunter by trade, Fang the Hunter has been known by many different names over the years, likely due to his “WANTED” status with the authorities. Always trying to stay one step ahead, he’s constantly modifying and upgrading his primary mode of transportation, the Marvelous Queen.

trip — Trip -Not much is known yet about Trip, the mysterious girl first encountered by Fang on the Northstar Islands. While a bit clumsy, Trip is heavily armored and has been enlisted by Fang and Dr. Eggman to protect and guide them around the wonders of this uncharted region.

knuckles — Knuckles – Knuckles the Echidna is said to be the last of his kind and is bound by duty to protect the Master Emerald on Angel Island. He is known for his immense strength and can use his spiked fists to smash enemies, climb walls, and even destroy solid rock. Gliding is another of his abilities, allowing him to quickly traverse the varied environments of his island and the world beyond.
