So let me get this straight. Frontiers gameplay can be defined as:

Amy was completely changed from her Adventure gameplay; she is the best character.

Tails was somewhat changed from his Adventure gameplay; he is as broken as he was there.

Knuckles is the most faithful character from his Adventure gameplay; he is the worst to play.

This isn't fair.

Any word on Superstars? Everything around the game looks great but I'm on the fence about the game itself.

They scored ot 8/8/8/8 [32/40]

I'm not sure if thats across different categories or different reviewers, but its not a bad score regardless.

Yeah, I think 32/40 equals 80%, so that's a really good score!

They tend to be a little conservative with their scores, so that's a good one.

Reviews I've seen have been saying that the single player story mode is really solid, but the multiplayer experience doesn't particularly work when it comes to maintaining momentum as a group.

Ok, I saw some gameplay of Superstars and... Yep, it looks exactly how I felt it would be before. Just another Classic Sonic game. And it doesn't help that single phrase pretty much describes my whole thoughts on the Classics. I also saw the true final boss and... Yeah, as someone who absolutely loves dragons I am not impressed. I can't really for the life of me describe why, the fight just looks so boring in my eyes. And here I thought Demon Dragon Ganon was anticlimactic. Pretty much the only thing that even somewhat impressed me from what I've seen is Trip's Super form.

If you could add something from any other Sonic media as a boss fight in a game, what would you add?

For me this Dragon from Sonic The Comic. https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stc94_dragon.jpg

[up][up][up] What I expect is something other than the almost exact same thing they've been doing all their life. Admittedly I was interested in the Chaos powers at 1st, but now? They're possibly the most situational abilities I've ever seen in my entire life, not helped by the fact that, according to one of the reviews, you can only use them once and have to wait until a checkpoint before you get to use it again.

I find the final boss underwhelming design wise. It looks like Big the Cat as an angry dragon.

I feel like it kinda has the Yoshi's Island DS/New Island problem where the final bosses essentially remix the Giant Baby Bowser fight from the first game without recapturing what made it so iconic.

Trip does have a Super form. It's a golden dragon. I would put a video link, but I'm not actually sure if it's possible to put a youtube link under the spoiler. I tried, but I got an error message.

Why stop doing that if it's both popular and makes them money?

What should be expected is a bit of polish and ambition.

The ambition was there, but not the polish.

When I look at the level design of Superstars, what I see is something that would look really cool if it had the presentation and budget of the last 2 Donkey Kong Country games.

Mina...

Just think of it a non-hedgehog female speedster would make an interesting friendly rival to the blue blur (and would be an interesting dynamic since Sonic's rivals tent o not have a good first impression). Plus with Forces starting a trend of vocal song,s she can easily be a vector of digletic music (granted so would...Vector)!

If we have to avoid Archie/SATAM stuff however, the next choice would be the Metarex. Adapt the Cosmo plotline in a way that maybe wouldn't be an Unleashed rehash from Tails' perspective pls.

As in, a new spin-off game? Because it's too early for the next mainline game.
