: Unlike many platformer heroes of its era, Charlie can wade, swim, and dive into water to discover hidden areas and secret items.
: While the original 1996 DOS version is known for its "Nintendo Hard" difficulty and lack of music, a remade Windows/Steam version includes background music and gameplay tweaks to make it more accessible.
