Now this may not be apparent to most, but to me, being a Greek, it constantly put surprised me throughout the book.

What made it so special was the addition of the Hyper Fighting upgrades present in the SNES version of Turbo. Masks would give you different powers and abilities to take on increasingly difficult foe (hence the 'Chameleon' title).
