Translation and feature boundaries

SNES/PlayStation names often differ from DS-derived terminology. This guide uses modern names first and preserves a legacy alias where it affects item recognition. Arena of the Ages is treated as DS-only because current Steam, Apple, and Google editions do not include it; Lost Sanctum and Dimensional Vortex are available in current Steam/mobile editions.
