While the game features the same side-scrolling 2.5-D gameplay as the original, the graphics have been given an overhaul, giving all the characters strong outlines and increasing the detail and contrast. In addition, the characters (most notably [[King Dedede]]) have been updated to their modern looks. Other details include enemies such as [[Waddle Dee]]s [[Fourth wall|splatting against the screen]] when hit by [[Super Ability]] attacks. Both the title screen for the game as well as the banner art also show a new location - a festive castle-like structure that resembles [[Magolor]] - though it is not yet clear exactly what purpose this location will serve.
