As newer versions get released, more zones end up getting complete makeovers that go above and beyond this trope. New to this game is Mighty's ability to store up to 4 shields and being able to switch between them on the fly to take advantage of the different immunities and attacks each of them have (the one exception being Sonic 1's, which has no additional abilities outside of Mighty's ).: The earlier builds of the game show that the new zones started out as palette swaps of the original Sonic 1 zones.

Hyper Transformations outright make a return in the leaked '5.0' version via a secret code, and any characters with S-Monitor-only abilities get to keep them for as long as their Hyper Transformation holds out.: Destroying a Badnik now releases a single Ring instead of an animal. Speaking of Super Sonic, he can also jump dash in any direction the player holds if he isn't near an enemy, just like in, and with an S-Monitor, he can fly in a straight path for a limited time similar to how he could be used in the of that game.
