Wii U figure connection

One of the leaked trailers show an early Wii U feature where the player can put a figure, such as a Rabbid figure, on the Wii U GamePad to affect the game in various ways. However, according to one of the developers, the demonstration of this function was just a joke due to the growing popularity of such toys. The Rabbids as seen appearing in the game were later used in Rayman Adventures for its events.
