This article has a talk page!This page details pre-release information and/or media for Yoshi Topsy-Turvy.
There seem to be at least two different prerelease versions.
One version shows a gravity indicator in the top right corner of the screen (a little man standing on a seesaw). This indicator apparently got scrapped sometime before E3 2005, which marks the second prerelease version.
A few prerelease screenshots exist, courtesy of themushroomkingdom.net. This article aims to compare between those screenshots and the final game.
