no smutty comments please

Miscellaneous#

Since this game was built off an already existing game in the franchise, there exists a few leftovers:

unused ending files and demo sequences (found in LEVEL01.S of the source code)
references to World 4's raft and death sequences (found in BUBCTRL.S of the source code)
coordinates to flip the level around (found in LVLTABS.S of the source code)
unused ending and credits code (found in ENDING.S and CREDITS.S respectively)
references to World 6's data, going unused (found in BUBRAM.S and BUBPAL0.S of the source code)

According to the source code, the level order was different from the final production:

Alice in Wonderland: World 5 → World 1
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: World 1 → World 3
Hansel and Gretel: World 3 → World 5

This game (and many others) uses ProTracker v2.2, ported to the Atari Jaguar by Trevor Raynsford.

During Summer CES 1994 (June 23-25, 1994), an early build of Fractured Furry Tales was showcased.

Watch on YouTube

The build didn't have any sound during this time. Everything from the first game remained except for the HUD and World 3's graphics.
