The game was directed by Hideki Kamiya and produced by Atsushi Inaba; the pair also worked together on the Viewtiful Joe series and ?kami. The remastered version is PlatinumGames' first self-published title. In The Wonderful 101, players control a horde of superheroes from an aerial viewpoint and can turn them into various objects called "Unite Morphs." As the levels progress, players must explore each stage to find helpless citizens and recruit them to join their army of heroes. To transform the horde of heroes, the appropriate symbol is drawn on the Wii U GamePad's touchscreen or right analog stick, such as an “L” for a gun or a squiggly line for a whip. In specified areas, the GamePad is used to change the view to a traditional, third-person angle and better explore tighter environments, such as those found indoors and inside caves. The single-player campaign is broken into levels. Each level ends with a grade depending on several factors, such as how long it takes the player to complete the level and how much damage the player took. In addition to a single-player mode, the game has a cooperative mode that supports up to five players, with one person utilizing the Wii U GamePad and the four others each using their own Wii U Pro Controllers. This game occurs during third war in a series of conflicts between Earth and a space aliens organized crime gang called the GEATHJERK Federation that has invaded the planet.
