• Every "Wee Game" includes an accuracy counter, even when not applicable. The order of goals was changed from ascending from easiest to hardest to descending and every goal pays off $30,000 in the final game while the prototype awards $10,000, $20,000 and $40,000.
• Whenever a goal is reached in a stunt, the resulting popup text is yellow in the final game and white in the prototype.

The prototype has an extra folder with what appear to be early character selection icons, most notably Bam Margera is included. These were removed before the final build.

A placeholder version of the animated menu background. Removed from the final version.

Textures#

• dave_04, ehren_04, ehren_05, johnny_04, preston_04 and ryan_04 are not yet in the game.
• Dimitry Elyashkevich's injured textures aren't done yet and use copies of Jeff Tremaine's.
• Dave England's and Johnny Knoxville's police outfits are available in the game, just missing the injured variants.

Proto	Final

Wee Man's hair was touched up.

Extras#

Two of the photos from the unlockable Jackass crew photo album were removed from the final game. These are the only ones to feature Bam Margera, which is likely the reason for their removal.

Sound#

Music#

The prototype contains 43 tracks in its files, of which 20 are heard in-game while 23 are not assigned to play during any stunts. The final game has 26 tracks, but all but three songs have their titles, artists and albums left in the final game (Rockin' Stroll, Smash It Up and Broken Face). The songs that are in the files but don't play in the prototype are in italics.

Additionally, the following changes were made for the final game.

• The "Fuck Yeah" in Come On, Come On was changed to "Hell Yeah".
• Every instance of profanity in the vocals of Politikil were muted.
• The lyric "sperminator of the asshole" was changed in Prince of the Rodeo.
• The Party Boy Theme has a runtime of 1:05 before fading out, while in the final it was looped to run for 6:34 before fading out. Otherwise identical.

Director's Tips#

Seems to be someone else other than Jeff Tremaine doing the voice, along with slight differences to the script and censorship.

Sound Effects#

The sound cues were changed to be excerpts from Minutemen's "Corona".

• reward_award_generic

• reward_award_gold

• reward_goal_achieved

• MENUFXP2.FSB is missing from the prototype. It contains three menu sound effects added to the PS2 version of the game.
• Jeff Tremaine's final voice isn't implemented and uses Dimitry Elyashkevich's voice as a placeholder.
• PDFXSB1.FSB is missing, it contains voices for the bum pedestrians.
• PDFXSOL1.FSB (Old Lady pedestrian) had two more sounds added to the archive, dive_02 and dive_03.
