The 12 different games to play in Sega Superstars’ main mode are:
* Sonic the Hedgehog – It’s a supersonic race for rings & emeralds. As Sonic runs down a round tunnel, he follows the position of the players hand. Using this method, the aim of the game is to gather rings and Chaos Emeralds in order to obtain the highest score at the end of the game.
* Samba de Amigo – Shake your thang to the mambo beat. Players choose a song, and then must hit 6 different targets around the screen as the ‘beat balls’ reach them in time with the music. Posing with hands over 2 of the targets, or holding one position until a trail of beat balls is complete, may also be required from the player.
* ChuChu Rocket! – It’s cat + mouse Sega style. Movement over a certain target on the screen will causes a bridge to raise, which the chu-chus then follow to the goal. The bridge also must be dropped at certain moments to prevent KapuKapus from destroying the score.
* Puyo Pop Fever – Flick those Puyo beans into the pot. Differently colored puyos will fall from the top of the screen, and the player’s body must be positioned to guide them into the corresponding pots and allow bombs to topple off the bottom of the screen.
* Crazy Taxi – Drive yourself crazy hailing the craziest taxi. Large movements and loud sounds must be undertaken to stop the Crazy Taxi and complete the level.
* Super Monkey Ball – Go bananas with AiAi. The player must move their arms into different positions in order to guide the monkey ball around obstacles and towards the goal, picking up as may bananas as possible along the way.
* NiGHTS Into Dreams – Guide NiGHTS to the Ldeya Palace. NiGHTS must be controlled and navigated through rings, collecting chips along the way, by raising your arms into a ‘flying’ position and adjusting them along the way.
* The House of the Dead – Fight your way through zombies. A multitude of different zombies must be attacked and defeated by hitting them. Innocent people who occasionally appear must also be avoided.
* Virtua Striker – You pass, you shoot, you score! As footballs drop from the top of the screen, the aim is to head them into differently colored and scored balloons on the opposite side of the screen in order to obtain the highest score.
* Virtua Fighter – Come on, give it your best shot. Standing to one side, players kick and punch the corresponding attack prompts on the screen in order to defeat the opponent. Block and counter prompts also appear, and must be reacted to accordingly.
* Space Channel 5 – Dance with Ulala to the alien beat. Different dance move combination must be remembered when shown by the Morolians, and then repeated in time to the music by hitting six different buttons on the screen.
* Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg – Hard-boiled, egg-rolling mayhem. By waving their hands over two different targets, players must move Billy and the egg around, and crush enemies and collect fruits along the way to the goal.
Extra gameplay modes are:
* In Sonic the Hedgehog, if you successfully complete all three difficulties with Sonic, you will unlock Shadow’s story which allows you to control Shadow instead of Sonic, although this story is much harder.
* In Puyo Pop Fever, if you successfully complete all three levels, you unlock a mode called “Free Mode” that allows players to simply play around with puyos and experiment with moving them around.
* In NiGHTS into Dreams, successfully completing all three levels opens up a new night-time area (Twin Seeds) with harder levels and different scenery.
* Completing all three levels on both Samba De Amigo and Chu Chu Rocket, you unlock an extra-hard difficulty setting.
* Also available is a variation of the Tiny Chao Garden from different Sonic games. Here, a chao can be hatched and petted via different movements. It is also possible to interact with some scenery (Shaking trees for fruit) and purchase items for the Chao using rings collected in the main game mode.
