Differences between Banks and final#

There are quite a few differences between Bank 5, Bank 2, and the final.

Mean Street South

In both Bank 5 and Bank 2 on "Mean Street South," the undergrounds, called "utilidors" in the banks, is located in a different location.

Before entering the undergrounds in Bank 2 and Bank 5, there's a room with a turnstile, which is absent in the final.

Rainbow Falls

In the substation, the platform to fix the pipe is absent in both Bank 5 and Bank 2. It seems originally you were meant to use Oswald to reach the pipe.

Train Dioramas

One of the biggest changes is ABE (the Automatic Branch Engineer), who in Bank 5 and Bank 2 is based on the Abraham Lincoln Animatronic. The PC files still have him named "lincolnanimatronic"

Dumbo 2D reel

The 2D reel "Dumbo" is a projector level that is in Bank 5 and Bank 2 but was scrapped in the final.

Floatyard

Bank 5 and Bank 2 has Gremlin Prescott idle at this spot, probably an unused animation? Not in the final.

Prescotts Arena

In the Paint route, after defeating the turret, Gremlin Gus tells Mickey and Oswald that he will deactivate the force field in the middle to let them escape. It is in both Bank 5 and Bank 2 but scrapped in the final, as it cuts right to the next cutscene.

Ventureland

The caged Gremlin, which is referred to as "Gremlin Robinson" in the files, is caged in a different location and is yellow, while in the final he is a green Gremlin.

Mad Doctor Boss

After facing the second phase of the boss and after either thinning or painting the masks, guardians are set free, which you have to use on the Mad Doctor. In the final, you don't have to use the guardians against the Mad Doctor, as it does automatically.

Different Dialogue#

Mickey, Gremlin Prescott and Gremlin Gus have slightly different dialogues in Bank 5. It is hard to hear due the loud SFXs.
