Retail Box Screenshots#

The back of the retail release box contains three screenshots from a seemingly early build of the game. There are several differences from the final version:

• The HUD is slightly different. Instead of the life counter, time remaining, and round number displayed on the box below, three trophies labeled No. 1 through 3 take up the space. The life counter is absent, and TIME is positioned alongside the box.
• The Caveman, another T&C Surf Designs character, is present in the first screenshot alongside Joe Cool. His icon next to the player’s score confirms he was a playable character at some point before being cut.
• Two manholes, one open and one closed, are in the street in the second screenshot. The open manhole sprite is in the final game, but unused.
• The graphics for Big Wave Encounter are completely different, along with Thrilla Gorilla’s sprite. There are clouds in the sky that are missing in the final version, and a message in a bottle can be seen floating at the bottom of the wave.
