"Your normal movement speed's slowed down a bit, which makes it seem a bit easier to play for action beginners. The homing attacks are easier to pull off, and the overall sense of nonstop excitement is as prevalent as ever. The game also takes advantage of a lot of Wii U-specific features, from the GamePad and TV-based multiplayer to grabbing items via Miiverse."
The basic gameplay and world setting is the same as the 3DS version, although the stages are quite a bit different. The color powers add a nice accent to the action, although it does kind of ruin the Sonic-type tempo you might be expecting. The visuals are as fun as ever to watch, too, although it's hard to see whether you're actually controlling anything at times."
