Sega Superstars is a party video game developed by Sonic Team for the PlayStation 2. It was published by Sega and released in Europe on October 22 2004; in North America in November 2 2004; and in Japan in November 11 2004. The game features several minigames based on various Sega titles that are controlled using the EyeToy peripheral. Upon release the game received "average" review scores from critics. Gameplay is similar to that of EyeToy: Play in which players use their body to play a variety of minigames. However while that game only picked up player's movement Sega Superstars uses a more advanced system. Before the start of each game a setup screen with an orange area is shown. In order to start the game players have to stand in a position where the orange area won't pick up any movement and select the continue button. This method determines what area is the background allowing EyeToy to pick up the player's position as opposed to just what areas are moving. This is particularly prominent in games like Puyo Puyo which uses the player's entire body.
