- Knuckles can glide and climb.
- Sonic can use the insta-shield.
- Physics imported from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
- Graphics imported from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, particularly when they could be used to reduce the VRAM footprint.
- Projectiles bounce off of Tails' tails and from Knuckles when gliding, as well as from shields, like in Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
