The Wii U version supports both co-operative multiplayer, in which a second player can control a remote controlled vehicle to assist Sonic, and competitive multiplayer, in which a second player can use the Wii U Gamepad screen to race against the other player. Collecting all the Red Star Rings in the game unlocks the ability to transform into Super Sonic. During the game, players can rescue animals by destroying enemies or opening containers, allowing players to progress, or find Red Star Rings that open up circus-themed bonus stages where players can earn more animals. There are also some Wisps exclusive to each version of the game. Alongside returning powers such as Drill, Laser and Rocket, new powers include Eagle, which lets Sonic fly through the air, Asteroid, which atomizes objects in his path, and Rhythm, which lets him bounce along a path of notes. The Wisps' powers are now controlled using the Wii U GamePad's touchscreen and gyroscopic features. In the air, Sonic can perform a double jump, which returns from Sonic Colors, a homing attack, which can now target multiple enemies in quick succession, and a new kick attack, which can be used to defeat stronger enemies, or knock them into others.Īlso returning from Colors are the Wisp creatures, which provide short-lived power-ups to Sonic. Holding down a trigger button will cause Sonic to sprint, allowing him to move faster and perform new parkour moves, such as running up and along walls and hopping over small ledges.
Simply moving the directional controls will move Sonic at a moderate pace, allowing for more precision. The game uses a new control system which allows players to control Sonic's speed.
