|The 3DS eShop and Switch versions have widescreen aspect ratios, with the Switch being slightly wider and the 3DS eShop version being toggleable between original and widescreen formats. The 3DS eShop version is missing the New graphics option from the PC and Switch versions, all soundtracks aside from the original, and the Machine Gun Challenge mode. The Switch version has exclusive features including: dynamic lighting and animated talksprites, local co-op multiplayer, the Sand Pit Challenge mode, and two additional soundtrack options (Famitracks and Ridiculon), and other quality of life changes. The 3DS version has an exclusive stereoscopic 3D effect that has not been included as a VR option for the PC and Switch versions, and it also has a Nemesis Challenge mode that is also on the Switch version but not the PC version. Cave Story 3D exists as a physical-only 3D remake, but it lacks many Cave Story+ features and runs at a slower framerate.
