How it feels

A high-energy, colorful platformer with frantic speed-running, custom character gadgets, and a cartoonish tone despite its war plot.

What players say

Players say the campaign is very short, often finished in three to four hours, and the gameplay mostly amounts to holding the boost button down hallways. The soundtrack gets near-universal praise and the character creator is a fun idea, but the story wastes its villain Infinite and makes Tails a coward. Many recommend buying it only on deep discount.
