Sega Ages Columns II: The Voyage Through Time enhances the beloved puzzle experience with several modern features. This version includes an online versus mode, allowing players to compete against each other, and a Stage Select feature for easier navigation through the 70 single-player levels. Additionally, the game introduces a tabletop mode that rotates Player 2’s screen for face-to-face gameplay, making it a great choice for local multiplayer sessions.

In addition to the new features, players can enjoy the original Genesis version of Columns, which is bundled with this release. The game also offers an Infinite Jewels mode that allows for endless play. Custom multiplayer options such as no skull spawns and flipped screens add further variety, along with a UI that lets players choose between the original Columns style or Columns II style.
