For example, Syndicated Millionaire was the first version to introduce the lifeline "Switch the Question", which was later implemented to the late classic format of the UK, wher contestants were able to flip the question and replace the lifeline with another one, depending on which one they decided to choose. In my opinion, this is where Super Millionaire had influenced the way to strategize with the lifelines, since the contestant could use more of them and therefore think over every step in order to determine how the lifelines could change the contestant's situation. But it also introduced the ability to unlock lifelines, which had been adapted in Syndicated Millionaire, too. Some other international versions, such as the german version, had given the contestant a choice to play with more lifelines from the beginning, but it usually come at a great price: for example, the €16,000 guaranteed sum is no longer active when the fourth lifeline is chosen - and the questions become more difficult when more lifelines are available, as well.
Now, let's get to the most important part of the discussion - when the idea to raise the top prize in Super Millionaire was implemented, there also had to be a sort of requirement in order to not make the show too similar to Millionaire, which is why the difficulty of the questions increased. This, for example, had been adapted in the Russian version of WWTBAM, where both of these priorities were implemented into the show, since not many people could get far to reach the 3.000.000 Rubels. The increase of the top prize has been implemented in many of the international versions, as well - the german one has had a special Jackpot edition with about €2 MILLION being the top prize.
So as we can see, Super Millionaire had done many great contributions to other international formats and still continues to do so today, since many of the other formats of Millionaire add their own way of playing the game and give contestants a new experience.
What do you think about it? Do you agree or disagree with my opinions? And in case Super Millionaire should be implemented in other versions of the show, what should be changed in order to give the game a new experience?
