I believe I have invented a new type of puzzle...
What is its name?
Colour-blind-friendly version available here.
Begin by solving the 16x16 sudoku; each of the digits 1-16 must appear exactly once in each row, column and thick-bordered 4x4 box. Then apply some grid-deduction-deduction (!) and discover its name!
Answer
Answer
The name of this puzzle is a Nonodoku
Solving
Solved sudoku (bold underlined numbers are the circled numbers of the puzzle):
The colors of the puzzle tell us red is on the left and blue will be up top. Purple is both red and blue, so we use them at both places. With those numbers and our grid of 16x16, now we have a nonogram!
We separate the nonogram into the 16 4x4 blocks of the sudoku to get the letters "UHT.SAOKIDN":
The circled numbers inside each 4x4 block tell us the position of that letter in the final answer (for example, the O will be in position 9, 11 and 13). Ordering all the letters in their position, we get THISISANONODOKU or "This is a nonodoku."
