Gameplay
Change in Dashing
After Chapter 6, Madeline and Badeline combine powers, giving them a second dash in-air. Previously, the player had to land on the ground before dashing a second time, but now, the player can dash twice before needing to land and recharge. This also changes Madeline's hair color, now going from pink to red to blue.

Alternate Sides
The B-Side is very similar to the original level, however at the last stretch it introduces the player to a new mechanic - Wallbounces. It's by far the longest B-Side in the game and arguably one of the hardest.
The C-Side requires the player to do consistent Wallbounces off of huge walls under wind physics, allowing them to do tall jumps. The last section is also very timing based and is considered one of the hardest sections in the game.
