The special moves of each character use a special meter, which refills all on its own. Once 200 have ticked down to 0, an extra life is added. There are also a huge amount of blue gems scattered across the stages, with a countdown ticking down as each is collected. Instead of golden rings being a replacement for a health system, now there's an actual health bar, recoverable by finding red leaf gems. Where it does break away, it gives some individuality to the universe. Every element feels like a Mega Drive-era Sonic.

From the title menu, there are three modes to fire into.
