Debug Menu Features#

General Differences#

Prototype	Final

• The icon used for saving the game features a fully modeled PS2 Memory Card with Yoda's face on it, as opposed to just having Yoda's face be the icon for saving the game. The design for Yoda's head also uses the model from the final game, as opposed to the illustration seen in the final game.
• The iconic loading screen with the headshot icons for Player 1 and Player 2 has not yet been implemented.
• Studs are called Coins here.
• The light setup for every single level uses the same plain presets.
• The Force effect has a more primitive appearance. The effect is made out of lots of blurred circles instead of a glowing aura.
• Quitting to the title screen and then starting a new game will spawn you in as the characters you had equipped before quitting.
• Hints don't have Dexter's face on them.
• The swirling effects around Blaster grapple spots are green.
• The opening text crawls can only be seen when entering a level from the hub, but they always cut off a few seconds in.
• Most death and hurt sounds are not programmed to play. Obi-Wan, Qui gon, Padmé and Anakin's are higher pitch than intended.
• Sabers don't glow nor play special sounds when doing the timed combos.

Characters#

Obi-Wan Kenobi#

• His death sound effect is much higher pitched.

Queen Amidala#

Prototype	Final

• She has a red Blaster instead of a revolver.

Yoda#

Prototype	Final

• Yoda's model is totally different, using a lower-quality version. His model in the prototype is still used in his icon in the final game. This version of Yoda does not have a moving mouth or eyes.

Commander Cody/Clone (Episode III)#

Prototype	Final

• Commander Cody is called "Clone (Episode III, Sand)."
• The Swamp clone has a green secondary color instead of a blue one. The green colors still appear in the clone's icon in the final game.
• All clones have a red Blaster instead of a blue one.

Droideka#

Prototype	Final

• Being electrocuted by an astromech droid won't temporarily remove its shield.
• Its shield color will appear inverted on reflecting floors (like shiny marble floors).

Geonosian#

• It's impossible to switch characters in Free Play as the Geonosian unless you tag a teammate who is not a Geonosian. The Geonosian will also not be equippable in the list of your teammate's characters.

Grievous' Bodyguard#

Prototype	Final

• The MagnaGuards have red staffs instead of pink.

Darth Sidious#

Prototype	Final

• Darth Sidious has an early design and early animations. He has a yellow skin tone that resembles his first official minifigure from the year 2000, and he also borrows animations from other characters in this build instead of having his own unique ones. His icon also reflects his early design.

Princess Leia#

Prototype	Final

• She's nearly missing from this version of the game - she doesn't show up in the cutscenes for the Episode IV bonus and she isn't purchasable in the diner. While she does appear in the bonus level "A New Hope", she uses the model of Padmé as a placeholder.

Unused Text#

Jedi Battle Text Crawl#

The Jedi Battle text crawl can be found in the game data nearly identical to the final version. However, in this build of the game, Jedi Battle erroneously uses Droid Factory's text crawl, leaving this one unused.

Count Dooku Text Crawl#

This text crawl does not appear at all in the game due to Count Dooku being inaccessible through the hub. The text crawl was entirely rewritten for the final build. The first half of the early version is similar to the final build's Gunship Cavalry crawl.
