Conversely, PC players can enjoy much greater flexibility, as the game allows for nearly comprehensive control rebinding options, similar to the previous version.

The absence of rebinding capabilities for console versions remains a mystery, particularly since this limitation was present in the initial collection and has not been adjusted in subsequent updates. On the positive side, all platforms support vibration disable features, and an innovative option for 180 Spin Taps can be executed with a single broadcast input.
