General Differences#

  • T-Hoppy's home stage is the multiplayer stage Claynaveral Hangar (which would become Lady Liberty's stage in Sculptor's Cut). In the final, he uses the Camp Claynaveral stage.
  • You have 20 seconds to select your character. This was dropped to 15 seconds in the final.
  • In the pause menu, selecting "QUIT" does not show confirmation before you quit. This was added in the final.
  • Also in the pause menu, Start is the only button to select with, while in the final game A also works.

Removed Secret Options#

The Secret Options menu has a couple of items missing from the final menu:

  • Game Speed - Toggles between "Normal", "Whoa", and "Are You Nuts?".
  • Frosty Is A Hosehead - Toggles on and off. Doesn't seem to do anything, though.
