Rounds 2 and 3 are played entirely by the contestants who began them.Rounds 1, 4, and the Bonus Round are Thing.A shot of this occurs twice, and the $25,000 sign can be seen in both shots, although its lights are not flashing until the credits. On September 10, during the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna mention the black floor.On September 7, the Round 2 Prize is a $3,000 Service Merchandise gift certificate.According to several recollections, a contestant on either September 4 or 5 incorrectly solves the fully-revealed puzzle DOUBLE INDEMNITY by mispronouncing 'indemnity'.She later appears on a celebrity episode in November 1997, thus becoming the first of only two known people to compete as both a civilian and celebrity. On either September 4 or 5, a then-unknown Alicia Witt is a contestant.Except on Friday, the Round 4 Prize is a Starcraft camper.September 3 is Teen Week, a tradition which leads off the next several seasons.Excluding shopping episodes, this would likely be the highest number of trips won by a single contestant. According to one recollection, a contestant during this season wins four trips.This is the only season between Seasons 7 and 33 not to have a road show.

The contestant's Bonus Round letters are now red unless the category chyrons are also red, in which case the letters are blue.

Following the last puzzle of the game, the cumulative total of an outgoing or returning champion is shown flashing in a similar manner to the post-Bonus Round totals.

The Wheel is noticeably tighter and louder than in previous seasons.

The lights surrounding the Wheel become much brighter, and the bottom layer now flashes clockwise as the Wheel is spinning (much like the other layers) previously, they flashed counterclockwise.

The contestant displays are now connected to each other, with no spaces between them.

A similar six-digit style was used on the New York City and Disney World shows.

The scoreboards are widened to seven digits, and the dollar sign is no longer fixed to the far left.The Bonus Round envelopes are enlarged to their more familiar size.(Daytime, due to not using the black floor, retains the projected logo through at least August 9, 1991.) The floor is changed to black, and (likely as a result) the projected Wheel of Fortune logo is retired.(The daytime show continues to use the chevrons through at least August 9, 1991, if not the end of its run.) The chevron contestant backdrops are replaced with the diamond backdrops first used on the Radio City Music Hall shows in November 1988.
