Sonic fans have had a great time over the past couple of years. Sonic Frontiers offered exciting open-world exploration, while the most recent Sonic adventure, Sonic Superstars, serves up great classic gameplay that feels like a fun throwback to the platforming franchise’s glory days on the Sega Genesis. If you haven’t yet had a chance to try it out, now’s a great time, as it’s up for grabs on the Nintendo Switch for one of the lowest prices we’ve seen.

As of Jan. 31, Sonic Superstars is just $ 19.99 at Best Buy, down from its normal price of $ 59.99. That’s $ 40 off and a discount of 68%. It’s one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on the game since its October debut, making this an even sweeter deal given that it’s only a few months old.

This side-scrolling platformer has you playing as Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles “Tails” Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Amy Rose as you work together to take down the nefarious Dr. Eggman, par for the course for a Sonic game. Eggman has allies Fang the Hunter and Trip the Sungazer under his control, and Sonic and the crew have to find seven Chaos Emeralds to thwart the evil gang.

It’s high-octane, fast-paced action across 12 unique zones with 26 levels and a number of special stages that take advantage of each character’s unique abilities. It’s one of the Sonic games that’s gotten closer to what made the original games so great, and even if it isn’t perfect, it’s still some pretty great fun for $ 20 for Sonic fans. So if that sounds like a (Sonic) blast, you might want to go ahead and grab a copy while it’s this cheap.
