In terms of level design, it's about as good as Sonic 3 and Mania, but aesthetically it reuses a lot of classic level themes on top of just feeling a lot more cutesy than I want out of Sonic game. Sonic games need to be edgy!

At first I thought this game was pretty cool... and then I played Chibi Robo Park Patrol and realized that that game covered all the themes of SJ in a far more interesting manner with more unique gameplay and only taking 10 hours to finish as opposed to SJ's 50 hours

If this game was only focused on Shinada, this would be the best game in the series... unfortunately, it isn't, and Shinada can only carry a game so far
