Sonic Superstars all Emerald Power abilities revealed

Original: A new article from Game Informer has outlined all of the Emerald Powers in Sonic Superstars. Each one provides something unique, though of course there’s something special for collecting all of the Chaos Emeralds as well.

Here’s the full rundown:

Avatar

– Blue Emerald
– Create clones of your character and send them speeding across the screen to defeat enemies

Bullet

– Red Emerald
– Blast your character in a specified direction

Water

– Cyan Emerald
– Characters can more easily traverse underwater areas and even climb up waterfalls

Ivy

– Green Emerald
– Grow vines from where your character stands to help you reach new areas
– Can direct where they grow
– If you’re playing co-op, your teammates can use your ivy to reach new areas

Vision

– Purple Emerald
– Reveals certain objects like hidden platforms and rings
– The developers thought about players having a challenging time knowing when to use the power and took it into consideration

Slow

– Yellow Emerald
– Slows down everything on screen

Extra

– White Emerald
– This is a character-specific ability
– Sonic: Homing Attack

Super

– Collect all Chaos Emeralds to gain the ability to turn into a Super version of your character
– Each character can turn Super
– Each character turns invincible and becomes faster, with rings depleting over time
– Once you get all seven Chaos Emeralds, you can still choose what power you want to be using
– You can select from the selection wheel what Emerald Power you want to use at that specific time, not necessarily automatically turning into Super Sonic or Super form

Sonic Superstars launches on Switch this fall.
