A few things in the newer PlayStation and Nintendo DS versions differ from the original SNES version. For the PlayStation, most identifiable is the Extra Mode and improved graphics.

PlayStation exclusive features

Extras Mode

The Extras Mode is a PlayStation exclusive feature.

Nintendo DS exclusive areas

Lost Sanctum

For more details on this topic, see Chrono Trigger/Lost Sanctum.

After the Black Omen appears in the sky, two Gates will appear, offering some optional DS exclusive sidequests with great rewards.

Dimensional Vortex

For more details on this topic, see Chrono Trigger/Dimensional Vortex.

In the Nintendo DS version, one exclusive area exists called the Dimensional Vortex. The Dimensional Vortex is a dungeon with that can only be accessed after beating the game at least once. When you return to your saved game, three new Gates will have appeared in separate time periods (12,000 B.C., 1000 A.D., and 2300 A.D.).

Like other dungeons in the game, the Dimensional Vortex varies depending on which time period you're in when you pass through the gate. Each time period specifies the reward from completing the dungeon: a permanent upgrade to one of three characters: Marle (the past), Chrono (the present), or Lucca (the future).

After completing all three different versions of the dungeon, a final, new, boss encounter is unlocked (as well as a new ending).

Time's Eclipse

Time's Eclipse is the final area of the Nintendo DS version of Chrono Trigger. Within it is the final boss of the game. To reach this area you must first unlock and complete the Dimensional Vortex dungeons, and then use a new Gate that appears at the End of Time.

Arena of the Ages

For more details on this topic, see Chrono Trigger/Arena of the Ages.

The Arena of the Ages is a WiFi mini-game that adds some replay-ability to the game. It is a monster training and battling mini-game that also allows players to earn rewards.

Enemy Names

Some enemies are named differently; the following is a list of them comparing the SNES and PS versions.
