| Unchanged: <p>The basic objective of each stage is to move all players to the goal, but the stages incorporate mechanics from the <em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> series. Every playable character can use the [[Spin Dash]], and stages feature Sonic-style elements such as [[Ring]]s, loops, and springs.[ref name="Steam" /] The Spin Dash is used not only as a movement option, but also as part of the puzzle design. Some obstacles marked with numbers require at least that many players to use the Spin Dash at the same time in order to break through them, reworking a familiar <em>PICO PARK</em> style group-pushing puzzle into a Sonic-themed action gimmick.[ref name="FamitsuSGF2026" /]</p> | Unchanged: <p>The basic objective of each stage is to move all players to the goal, but the stages incorporate mechanics from the <em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> series.

| Unchanged: <p>Characters can also build up speed by continuing to move in the same direction, entering a dash state. While dashing or using the Spin Dash, players can climb curved half-pipe-like walls and run through 360-degree loops, bringing Sonic-style momentum-based action into the cooperative puzzle format. Despite these faster elements, the game does not require players to constantly move through stages at high speed, keeping the structure closer to <em>PICO PARK</em>'s accessible puzzle-platforming design.[ref name="FamitsuSGF2026" /]</p> | Unchanged: <p>Characters can also build up speed by continuing to move in the same direction, entering a dash state.

| Unchanged: <p>Rings are used as part of the game's puzzle and damage systems. In one demonstrated stage, players encounter unavoidable spike hazards that cause a failure if any character is hit. A single Ring placed earlier in the stage allows one player to take the hit without failing, causing the Ring to scatter and removing the obstacle. Another puzzle places four Rings beneath an unavoidable descending laser, requiring each of the four players in the demo to take one Ring so that everyone can survive the hazard. If one player collects more than one Ring, another player can hit them with a Spin Dash to knock Rings loose for the rest of the group.[ref name="FamitsuSGF2026" /]</p> | Unchanged: <p>Rings are used as part of the game's puzzle and damage systems.

| Added: <p>The project was built around combining the cooperative puzzle-solving structure of <em>PICO PARK</em> with mechanics associated with the <em>Sonic the Hedgehog</em> series. While retaining the simple controls and teamwork-focused stage design of <em>PICO PARK</em>, the game adds Sonic-style actions and gimmicks such as the [[Spin Dash]], [[Ring]]s, springs, loops, and momentum-based movement.[ref name="Steam" /][ref name="FamitsuSGF2026"][cite_web url="https://www.famitsu.com/article/202606/77452" title="『ソニックピコパーク』スピンダッシュやリングなどソニックらしいアクション＆ギミックと、『ピコパーク』らしいパズル要素のある協力プレイが見事に融合。どちらのファンも満足できる作品になる予感【SGF2026】" publisher="Famitsu" date="7 June 2026" access-date="7 June 2026" language="Japanese"][/ref]</p> | |
