This title features a "Modern Mode" for those playing for the first time and an "Original Mode" for those confident in their action game skills.
In "Modern Mode," your health is increased, and you can carry more items into stages compared to "Original Mode."
It's a good idea to warm up in "Modern Mode" and then switch to "Original Mode" once you've gotten used to it.
However, be aware that you cannot switch modes mid-game!

Furthermore, this title is eligible for exchange with the "Nintendo Catalog Tickets," a special benefit for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
You can purchase it at a better price than usual, so don't miss out if you're considering buying the digital version!
