This page details pre-release information and/or media for Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday.

Early Screenshots#

From the Latin American magazine Club Nintendo #26 (Chilean edition), specifically as part of a larger article covering the 1994 Summer CES, is an article that covered Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday. The screenshots appear to match the May 24th 1994 build, with the exception that the Haunted Woods' background has been moved up.

The two images on the right show that the concept of levels having different graphic styles every time you start the game was already present, but also shows that Porky's sprites looked different from the final game. Porky's head in the hud is likewise different, and is left unused in the final ROM.

The image on the left shows the "Fruit Fighter" minigame, featuring Porky and Daffy during a western shootout with guns that shoot fruit. The blurb states that this can randomly show up instead of the regular first level when starting the game, and it's described as "A strange Olympics-type sports game that's by no means serious" (though they likely might've been referring to the "Running" minigame).
