Some speed-focused mods allow you to glide longer, jump higher, or even remove fall damage entirely. Others alter the homing attack, making it more precise or completely changing its functionality. Meanwhile, casual mods often slow down the gameplay, making it easier to enjoy the beautiful environments at a leisurely pace.

Gameplay Overhauls

For those who want a complete change of pace, there are mods that overhaul entire aspects of the game. These range from difficulty modifiers that make the game harder to ones that completely change your playstyle, like adding a bit of stealth or puzzle mechanics.

Some popular overhauls include extreme difficulty modes, which transform the game into a punishing, unforgiving challenge, pushing your skills to their limits. Others might add time-trial or scoring systems, adding replayability and competition to the game.
