    I honestly think Sonic Dream Team looks more like wonder, considering the dream aesthetic calls for all the wacky scenarios we’ve seen so far, plus Superstars plays it a little safe.

The music is surprisingly hit or miss, the levels aren't bad but they dont feel creative or nearly as cohesive as i had hoped, and the difficulty feels like it copies too much of the annoying parts of the classics. At the end of the day, mania is right there, sitting pretty at 20 dollars with prettier visuals and better re-capturing of the classic energy. That's my take at least, my original comment really wasn't meant to be TOO serious.

      A Sonic game that copied Mario already exists…It’s called Sonic Lost World…and it sold like garbage because, contrary to popular belief, Sonic was never supposed to be a Mario rip off.
      He was actually created to be Mario’s opposite; an alternative to the established norm. I’m speaking on behalf of the majority when I say that this opinion of yours reeks of ignorance.

    • @epicgamner1139

      @@dusk173 hold on a moment, i never said "ripoff". Although i may have misrepresented my thoughts, i actually agree with you! I really dont think that sonic should be like mario. It's why he thrived in the 90s, and also why he's financially failed so much in the past 2 decades. Its also why mania and generations are so good, their whole purpose it to capture that classic sonic charm, which both do incredibly in very different ways. my point is, sonic is form while mario is function.
      Compare the first mario to the first sonic. Looking at both from a modern standpoint, which one is better? I think that, fan or not of sonic, you have to admit that, playability wise, mario just holds up better. Don't get me wrong, it still has that classic retro BS, but sonic 1 has waaaaaaay more. But sonic 1 still did well, and that was with mario WORLD being its sales competitor! As im sure you know, its because of both the kick-ass 90's marketing and because sonic is cool! Going fast is cool! Building momentum in a huge area with branching paths is cool! Now, they wouldnt really capitalize on this until the second game, but thats neither here nor there.
      Ok, but what does this have to do with wonder and superstars? Simply put, times change. You cant wow the modern gaming audience with JUST old tricks. I like what sonic superstars stands for. I am all about bringing back old stuff for a modern audience. But in this case, they really should have just done more. If you dont want to compare superstars and wonder, thats fine. But if youre going to release 2 60$ AAA 2D platformers in the same WEEK, you have to be up to snuff with your competition. No matter how you slice it, superstars lacks identity. They even use mania sound effects for selections on menus and end level jingles! You can have your nostalgia cake and eat it too, its just that this isnt the way to do it. I have a lot more i COULD say but this is already so much, so ill leave it here. Have a good one!
