Much calmer pace — base fall speed and the difficulty ramp slowed substantially; diving is now the way to go fast. Far less disorienting.
Readability — hazards are dark with bright red rims, safe lanes glow green, and the camera sits back and looks further down the shaft so you see what's coming.
Gates reworked — thinner walls that no longer block the view of what's behind them, bigger gaps, and a large clear run-out so nothing hides in a wall's shadow.
Softer visuals — less screen shake, gentler spin, pastel tunnel colors, fewer wind streaks.
Menu/HUD polish — stronger text contrast, fixed button and character-name sizing.

All one-off sound effects — replaced by a single continuous music track that swells on big moments (pickups, rings, shield saves).
Camouflaged same-color obstacles that blended into the background.
