Lightsaber Toggle: If you’re a returning player and recall that each Jedi had a lightsaber of a different color, you might also recall that those sabers didn’t match how they appeared in the movies.
Classic couch co-op: The local co-op option allows you to play the entire 10-level campaign with a friend, along with bonus mini-games. One of the main aspects of the Jedi Power Battles experience is the excitement of working with a friend to defeat waves of adversaries, and it’s back in full form.
Cheat codes and unlockables: You can now claim classic cheats like Lightsaber Cheats, Big Head Mode, and Big Foot Mode! Additionally, to keep the gameplay interesting and rewarding, unlock character progressions (stats, combinations) by reaching high scores. Last but not least, the Loader Droid Boss is playable with a cheat code for the first time!
All secret characters and levels are unlocked at the beginning: Play the entire game from the beginning, unlocking all of the original secret characters and stages so you can start fighting right away. In addition to the original cast, 13 extra playable characters have been unlocked! Weequay, Ishi Tib, Staff Tusken Raider, and the Rifle Droid are all prepared to take part in the action, and more character announcements will be made before launch day. Who else will be added to the roster? Soon enough, everyone will learn the truth.
Gameplay improvements and expanded game modes: While maintaining aspects of the original PlayStation user interface, we have improved the game modes, environments, and character models based on the expanded post-PlayStation release. Take advantage of improved balance, slicker jumps, and new main menu art that changes your battle from all of the game’s previous iterations. Along with bringing back Training Mode and Vs Mode from the enlarged post-PlayStation version, we’ve also included in-game UI toggle options for further customization, which will give your gaming more depth and variation.
