– Alter to how in another way Sonic’s companions transfer whereas finishing challenges
– Full trial towers (which don’t have checkpoints)
– Defeat the replace’s tough-as-nails new boss Tank+, a spider tank that’ll riddle Sonic with bullets on sight, exploding the blue streak right into a fountain of cash
