How good is Sonic Superstars for playing multiplayer and/or local coop?

Can everyone use gamepads? I'm interested especially in the local aspect because it looks fun and it's on sale right now but I'm unsure if getting if or not (especially since it's on sale). Thanks in advance!

Decidedly bad for multiplayer, sorry, above all because of the lack of the online coop gameplay.

Little remark about keyboard. It cannot be used as separate controller. Also you cannot bind Space button to any of the functions so jump button isn't on Space button.

It's absolutely miserable. I thought the focus being on multiplayer would make the characters dynamically speed up or slow down based on how far ahead they were relative to other players on the screen, but there's no such thing. You'll constantly be leaving someone off screen who then slowly has to respawn. It's terrible.

If you want multiplayer, play Sonic 4 Episode 2. At least you can call your partner to you.
Or Sonic 3 AIR. At least respawning doesn't take forever.
Or hell, Sonic Advance 3. All players stay on their own screen AND you can call each other to you!

Thank you all guys, it sucks multiplayer doesn't work well since it looks good but at least we have other options. Funnily enough I loved Sonic 4 Episode 1 that I already own Episode 2 too lol (thank you for reminding me Rings). Origins is a fun one and the racing games are nice too. If Sonic Forces had multiplayer I bet it would have been fun too (I like it a lot seriously lol). I suggest you all playing Gang Beasts with friends/family/lovers/etc., is not a Sonic game but you will have plenty of fun with that one

Good to know, thanks!
