Updated Soundtrack

For example, the battle soundtrack will have themes reflecting on where the battle is held.

Runs at 30 FPS

The Switch remake of TTYD now runs at 30 FPS, which is far from the GameCube version's 60 FPS.

This may be considered as a downgrade to the original version, but we are speculating that Nintendo may release a patch on the launch version of the game which makes the game run at the standard 60 FPS.

Pianta Parlor's Sliding Tiles

Pianta Parlor slots mini game have been changed to Sliding Tiles Minigame to remove any gambling themes in the game, same way Nintendo did to their previous games. The Sliding Tiles are similar to the ones from Super Mario Bros. 3.

Graphic Changes

The game's graphics have been changed into a more high definition version, with enhanced lighting and a lot more paper in the visuals and details of the game.

Some Characters Have New Sound Bits

Some characters now have new sound bits that can be heard in their dialogues, like Luigi now has a sound effect that is similar to other games when he is talking. Others like Hooktail and Mayor Kroop have updated sound bits as well.

New Back Sprites

In the Switch Remake, Partners will now have back sprites which they previously did not have in the original Gamecube version of the game.

Initial Items Mario Can Carry Increased from 10 to 15

In the original version of the game, Mario could only carry 10 items in his inventory. In the Switch Remake, Mario can now carry 15 items in his inventory.

New Try Again Option on Game Over

A new Try Again option is now available in the Game Over screen when Mario dies. Choosing this option will send Mario back on the section of the map he was in, not from the last save location.

This option was not available in the original version of the game.

What Happens When You Die?

The remake also increased the max coins Mario can hoard. In the Switch version, Mario can now earn up to 9999 coins, going past the thousands.

In the GameCube version, Mario can only collect up to 999 coins.
