This page details pre-release information and/or media for Toki Tori (Game Boy Color).
Toki Tori was originally going to be named "Eggbert". However, Two Tribes had to change the name when Capcom, their publisher, informed them that the name conflicted with Speedy Eggbert. Afterwards, Two Tribes came up many new names for the character, including EggHunt, Kiroi Tori, Jegg, and Toki Tori. Capcom liked Toki Tori the most, and thus it was chosen.

The Two Tribes screen originally had a pair of spermatozoids penetrating a circle (likely meant to be an ovum) with the company's logo inside. Since Two Tribes was planning on releasing the game in the US, they changed their logo to be more child-friendly.

The title screen from the game's Eggbert period of development. Aside from the name, the early title screen has rougher shading around the characters.
Concept Art#
Concept art of Toki Tori using the Freeze-o-matic somewhere near Creepy Castle. This was one of the first sketches for the game's box art.
A colored version of the previous art with the major difference being that Toki Tori is in Forest Falls. This was a strong candidate for the game's box art before the final one was chosen.
