The original Street Fighter Alpha, as well as Alpha 2, Alpha 3, and Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix are ported from their original arcade releases, while Alpha 2 Gold is a remixed version that combines elements from the previous console version and the Japanese arcade release Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha. The version of Alpha 2 Gold allows the player to select Cammy in all the game modes, including the single-player Arcade mode (in which she is given her own storyline and ending), not just Versus and Training mode. The soundtracks for each game are from the arcade version, with the exception of Alpha 2 Gold, which uses the arranged soundtrack from the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions. The original Alpha gives the player a choice between CP System and CPS II-style soundtracks (the former is based on the CPS Changer version of the game).
All of the games in the compilation includes Arcade, Versus, and Training modes, as well as Survival mode and Dramatic Battle mode for the Alphagames. The Dramatic Battle mode featured in the original Alpha, Alpha 2, and Alpha 2 Gold is the same as the one featured in the Japanese arcade version of Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha, allowing the player to create their own team of characters and fight against a specific series of opponents, namely Adon, Sagat, M. Bison, and Akuma (Alpha) or Shin Akuma (Alpha 2 and Alpha 2 Gold). The original Dramatic Battle mode from the first Alpha, which features Ryu and Ken against Bison, is available in the game as a secret.
