This game bears a resemblance to sonic x-treme (cancelled sonic game), as the level layout is spherical in both games.
An exclusive to the Wii U in 2013, but got a PC port in 2016.
During one of the game's cutscenes after Cubot has his body destroyed, Orbot says "Alas, poor Cubot. I knew him well". This is a reference to the often misquoted line from Shakespeare's Hamlet; "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio".
The game's world order is very similar to the New Super Mario Bros games, due to an exclusivity deal with Nintendo.
