==Changes From the Original Game==
===New features===
* A new feature, titled Secret Sauce, allows the player to change pieces of the game's balance. Some changeable parameters include limited or limitless magic, how many times Wallace appears, if the players will be gather to the arena after the Tenkaichi event, etc.
* Another new feature known as Advantage is added. It provides the following changes:
**When set to be "on" when starting a game, the character gets to assign 10 points instead of 5.

**The character will never get Grim Reapers when they die
* The player can now hold a button to speed up the game by 3 times or 5 times.
* It's possible to end the game after a set number of weeks, instead of only at the end of chapter 1, chapter 4 or chapter 10.
===Game mechanic===
* Similar to Dokapon UP! Mugen no Roulette, when a player is given control by the CPU, they can press the + button to come back on the next turn.
* In the online mode only, when renaming the other players after defeating them, the player is given 4 random names instead of being able to freely rename their opponent. This doesn't apply to the offline mode.
* There is an autosave feature, which saves the game after a character has taken their action. There is 1 autosave file and 20 manual save files for the offline mode.
* There is now an in-game instruction book that can be viewed in the settings.
* Similar to Dokapon Kingdom: Connect, it's possible to return to title screen in the middle of a game.
===Gameplay===
* Wallace only needs to be defeated 2 times in most chapters to trigger the chapter event by default, rather than 4 in the original game. The player can change this to either 1 time or 4 times via the Secret Sauce option.
* Monsters no longer have weapon weaknesses.
* Some Defensive Magic spells' power have been changed.
* It takes 1 less day to revive after dying.

* The setting allows the player to set how the in-game graphics and models are rendered.
===Music===
* The songs used in the game are arranged versions of the original songs.
* The player can change the normal battle music into the one from the following:
