==Changes and improvements==

While ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition'' is a re-release of ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum!]]'' under a different name, some minor changes were made such as:

* Change: Splash screens after launching the game include a new copyright splash screen,<ref name="Atari" /> the new Frontier Foundry logo splash screen (no roller coaster animation), and a QLOC splash screen (on the Nintendo Switch), but excludes the Atari and ATI splash screens.

* Change: The cross on the [[First Aid Room|First Aid]] and on the Miscellaneous Buildings tab was recolored from red to green to comply with rules of the usage of the Red Cross outside of official purposes.<ref>[https://www.redcross.ca/about-us/about-the-canadian-red-cross/red-cross-emblem/it-may-just-be-a-game-to-you-but-it-means-the-world-to-us Canadian Red Cross — About Us > About the > Red Cross Emblem > It may just be a game to you but, it means the world to us]</ref>

* ~~Change~~: The character-naming [[Cheats and Quirks|cheat code]] "Atari" that made peeps applaud was removed ~~from the game~~.

* Change: User data location that included MusicGenre.txt and Options.txt changed from:

** Microsoft Windows: <code>C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Atari\RCT3</code> to <code>C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Frontier\RCT3</code>

Line 33:

* Nintendo Switch: New user interfaces that can be interacted with gaming controllers.

* Nintendo Switch: New in-game tutorial for game controls.

* Removed: References to the publishing company [[Atari]] have been removed.
