• Partially non-linear structure (need to tackle the sub areas in a set order though as each boss gives the key to the next one, the robe item is technically skippable if you can stomach the reserve controls for one sub area/dungeon and so is the golden cross if you use the alternate method vs Galious, holy water/cape/rod are also optional as they just give you an advantage vs each boss)

• Switch between two different characters on the fly (one boy and one girl)

• Password save (consumables (key, coins, arrows) respawn when loading)

• Sub area maps (need to find them, no hub area map?)

• ​Fairy rooms (Zelda)

• Different and mostly worse on NES (missing five worlds/sub areas, less varied level design)

• Halo lets you teleport from any world/sub area back to the beginning/hub area (last password room - F1 then Enter), Feather lets you teleport to an opened sub area portal (press the corresponding number key)

• ​Minor ability/tool gating (Pendant lets Aphrodite break a certain wall, oar and carpet for moving on water and turning lava to stone respectively)
