As we mentioned earlier, Game Informer has kicked off a massive wave of coverage for Sonic Superstars, and it’s going to include a bunch of new details on the game. That fresh insight has kicked off today with the reveal of all the Emerald Powers in Sonic Superstars.
Emerald Powers grant Sonic and his friends special abilities for Chaos Emeralds they obtain through the Special Stages. Here’s a complete breakdown of every Emerald Power you’ll have access to.
