I would like to know if there is any way to check if a sprite overlaps another using the rectangles of the physical body.

If you mean Arcade Physics bodies, there’s [physics.arcade.intersects()](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser-ce/Phaser.Physics.Arcade.html#intersects).

Without Arcade Physics, you can use [getBounds()](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser-ce/PIXI.Sprite.html#getBounds) and [Phaser.Rectangle.intersects()](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser-ce/Phaser.Rectangle.html#_intersects).
