  • Balanced difficulty modes: From Adventure Mode for newcomers to Heroic Mode with more accessible saves for seasoned players.
  • Speedrun Mode: All characters rebalanced to give everyone a fair shot at being the fastest.
  • Tuned progression: Balanced shops, hidden credits, refined enemy difficulty (some harder, some easier), and many other tweaks to polish the gameplay loop.
