Azure Cosmos DB Number of Columns Limit

Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPPAzure Cosmos DB Number of Columns Limit
The Azure Table Service documentation states that entities (rows) must have at most 255 properties, which I understand to mean these tables can have at most 255 columns, which seems highly restrictive.
Two questions: first, do the same limits apply to Cosmos DB Table Storage? I can't seem to find any documentation that says one way or another, though the language of "entities" is still used. And second--if the same limit applies in Cosmos DB--is there any useful way around this limit for storage and querying, along the lines of JSON in SQL Server?
