This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

A prototype of the SNES Jelly Boy was obtained by Hard4Games and was subsequently dumped on May 1, 2021. It is apparently close to the final version, but still has a few differences.

General Differences#

  • The header has an additional credit:

  • Unlike the final version, the default password will not trip an error if you don't change it.
  • The high score list has much higher default scores. They were likely dropped in the final due to the difficulty of getting more than 252,000 points.
  • The high score list also includes several names that are absent from the final.
  • The credits do not include the testers from Electronic Arts. They were added in the final version.
