Yeah, a lot of it came down to hardware limitations more than one series being more colourful than the other. Mario probably would have been more colourful in the 8-bit era if the NES could display more, and Chaotix is an example of Sega using the increased palette of the 32X.

I just sold that dirt cheap to Amazon since no one bought it from my sale thread.

If you're interested in it, I can check to see if I can modify my trade-in order.

This is true, but Mario 3 is the better game.

Granted. Not what I'm talking about though.

I watched the clip and like the graphics. Cautiously optimistic.

I remember reading GameFan gushing about the huge color palette of the 32X on display in Knuckles Chaotix. But then months later, I read that it was just standard Genesis graphics and colors from a Genesis game they plopped onto the 32X, and they really only used the 32X for the bonus rounds. What's the scoop?
