This page details one or more prototype versions of Fire 'n Ice.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
Notes: Much, much more differences

This is an early localization prototype with plenty of text differences, many of which are from typo corrections and rewording. For easier reading, minor differences in the scripts such as misspellings will be in bold.

Prototype

Final

"Left like this,Coolmint
Island will be melted by
them!"

"If something isn't done,
Coolmint Island will
melt away!"

This piece of text was completely rewritten in the final version. Interestingly, both scripts use an unnecessary pair of quotation marks which were added by the English localizers for what ever reason.

Prototype

Final

In response to the crisis
of the winter faires,
their queen called upon a wizard.

In response to this crisis
the queen of the winter
fairies called upon a
wizard.

The final fixes up some awkward wording but manages to remove a correctly placed comma in the process. The misspelling of "faires" was corrected again.
